Oh, Dr. Henry, you tell me there is so much more for me to worry about, more even than a sweet and willing gardener who accidentally uses RoundUp on my roses. I do not even like to view the space where 400-500 beautiful roses once lived and bloomed in my garden and now twigs of memory and dying leaves abound.

If I had any other diseases to combat other than those I already know,I most likely would consume a bottle of RoundUp. It's just too much for my non-intellectual, non-scientific, right-brain mind.

Thanks, seil, you enabler! Scrumptious color.

Your rose porn has made me add Valencia back to my list of "must haves." :-)

(This past spring I had Valencia in my order cart at Edmunds and swapped it out for Julia Child. However, I will say that Julia has bloomed non-stop so far this summer.)

Valencia is a stunner. Mine have strong stems - no nodding. And there are a lot of blooms. They last forever.

No zone, no close-up of stamen, stem, bloom, no idea. You should give much more information than what is given. I don't want a dinner invitation, just enough information to try to help you with your rose question. They certainly do not appear to be hybrid tea roses from where I sit, but they could be some kind of shrub or China, etc.

His original post seemed to indicate that he was in Zone 5 -- HOWEVER, yes. We'd need to see more close up images of the roses -- and if there's anything known about what sort of roses they are, that would be helpful.

That said, I see blooms on the left, and blooms on the right. A close look at those would be helpful.

Without more info, we can't help much.

Don't tug on your bush. You will dislodge its growth.

When I said 'tug' on my bush, I was gentle. When we originally planted it, it seemed to be moving more even though it was planted deep as we could go. I was just checking to see if over the last 7 weeks since planting--it had gotten sturdier whereas it wouldn't move at all, so I was gentle; and it still moves a little bit. That wasn't the issue though--it was the brown speckles/spots on a number of branches.

I have balling as well when it rains but it seems to be the rain itself damages the roses. Part of my hedge is under the roofline and those flowers don't do that. It's only the ones in the open. I just pruned it back a good bit to help with this.

Any rose so packed full of petals is going to do this in rainy conditions. It is the price we pay. Vanity knows no pain.

Interesting. Well these roots are only a few inches long, so I don't think they're going to spread past the size of the pot before next spring.

Never had great luck with own-root bands in my zone. Have grafted JD and JC, to trellises. They have both come back well from severe winter damage and prune to 18". JD does present light flush of dusty mildew early spring , don't ignore it, which is easily remedied with Daconil. They are my showiest presentations and worth any inconvenience.
Good luck with whatever method you take to care for your Babes -please keep us posted as to results .My only option is to place the own-root into the ground in the fall. I lost 3, grew 3. Poor odds. Interestingly survivors were minis.

It's a great rose. I even planted Climbing Tiffany. You wouldn't believe how huge it gets.

If you would consider another color, I really do love both 'Lamarque' (shown above, and below) and also 'Reve d'Or.' They are Tea Noisettes, and I think should do well for you.

In ordinary years, my coastal strip of SoCal isn't warm enough to make yellow Tea Noisettes (such as 'Crepuscule') happy -- but THIS year we are breaking heat records. They like that!

Red equal Fields of the Wood. It will do well in your area. I have it pillared in the southeast USA. Not all reds are reds and not all reds will pillar - Fields of the Wood will. It is AKA Kocher Red or Rhode Island Red. Great rose.

And also remember that Eden is not the most eager and profuse bloomer on the planet. She's often reluctant to bloom very much even in a good year, though she usually does fine for the spring bloom.

nippstress - zone 5 Nebraska

I have this one in my zone 4 pocket in the front yard, and as all the Lim Easy Elegance roses are for me, it's healthy and hardy without a problem for me. The repeat bloom is decent - mine is only two years old and not into its full maturity - but not continuous blooming or quite as prolific as other Lim shrubs like Sweet Fragrance in the same bed. I'm glad I didn't count on it staying 2 feet tall, as it is starting to creep up to 3 feet even with the drastic pruning from the hard winter. I wouldn't treat this as a groundcover type rose like the "drift" series, but it's fairly contained so far.

The color is at its nicest in the cool weather, as you can see from last June's picture below. In weather like the 100 degrees we have today, it's kind of a washed-out coral pinkish color. Still a nice rose, but not one that's as eye-catching as other roses in that bed.

I donâÂÂt have this rose, but after seeing yours, IâÂÂd sure like one. What lovely color! Sounds like itâÂÂs also perfect for smaller spaces.

If you do that, deer will be back. Next story won't be pretty, your roses might be gone...... :-) Don't feed them, unless you can hunt in your yard when the hunting season starts.

My HT roses are all in cages. The deer walk right by them all the time. Look but don't touch.

I'm going to start growing more roses in containers next year.
I'll start out with large containers and probably within 3 - 4 years will change the soil and trim the roots some...
Hopefully that works out...lol

Well if I were the building owner I would plant em in the ground, as I have my Belinda' s Dream and knockouts. But I opted to not dig up the entire yard for a rose garden that I might have to leave behind if I moved. I actually think I have better control over feeding, soil, and water this way too.

Henry, you do such an amazing job of keeping up with all of this stuff and keeping us informed. It is appreciated...but...please stop finding more things I need to worry about, lol! Some days I just can't deal with finding out there are more things out there that want to destroy my roses.

You are in luck, boncrow. Buff Beauty is one of the few roses that does fine with some shade, especially protection from the afternoon sun which can scald some roses. Your situation sounds perfect.

Great, glad to hear that about BB. I am thinking it would be pretty flanking each side of the stairs leading to my deck, there is space for something tall and wide there. I have also been think of Gruess an Achean (sp?) for that spot.

I know that Florida has a real problem with these guys. Does any one know how far north they go or may go? Does anyone think they'll adapt to cold climates? Just curious.
