roseseek(9)Updated February 19, 2015 What Jackie said. That's what I've done with all of mine to move them now. Only one has thumbed its nose at me and died, which isn't bad for as many as have been "tortured". Try striking cuttings of it before you whack i...

roseseek(9)Updated February 19, 2015 Yes, it's normal for scent to dissipate as well as age with time. Even with perfect conditions, a perfect bloom and perfect culture, the oils and alcohols age, deteriorate with time. I seriously doubt there is much, if anything, y...

the_bustopher z6 MOUpdated February 18, 2015 Ace of Hearts/Asso di Couri, Alec's Red, and Let Freedom Ring all have higher petal counts although Let Freedom Ring is not as high as the other two. Temperature during bloom formation also influences petal count.

Dingo2001 - Z5 Chicagoland(5)Updated February 18, 2015 Please do not use the poison baits! Any animal that eats it will be killed, including predators that eat the mice or voles. Some of the newer baits have no antidote, so if ingested by a family pet it's bad news.

sammy zone 7 TulsaUpdated February 18, 2015 I often start in January. It takes time, and sometimes if there is new growth it is frozen and needs to be cut off, but it takes time to cut, and dispose of the cuttings.

DandyLioness (CA 9, SZ 14)Updated February 18, 2015 If there is an evergreen hedge you like I would suggest doing that, with a climber on the fence. If your fence is wooden, you can attach the climber to it using eye hooks. Or if you are willing to use more space, you can do a rose...

dbarron(z7_Arkansas)Updated February 18, 2015 For most of the rest of us (in the temperate world where roses defoliate), it's an ideal time to start cuttings. Old timers used to sink them in the ground, and put a mason jar over them to protect and increase humidity.

seil zone 6b MIUpdated February 17, 2015 Mark the cane and see if it reblooms in the new color. If so take a cutting and root it and see if that also blooms in the new color. If it does it's a sport. If not it's just a one time anomaly. Which can happen for a host of...
