I have Souvenir DA la malmaisson that I planted this year. It is becoming one of my favorites. It always has blooms and is doing well in the heat with minimal BS at the beginning of summer and none at all now.

Tamora,which is almost identical to Evelyn as far as I can tell, blooms and blooms, facing west against a light-colored stucco wall, despite temps in the 90s.
Alnwick Rose blooms freely, but the flowers shatter almost immediately in hot weather.

I got it last year and grew it in a pot. The flowers were on the small to medium size, but they had a nice color. It actually did reasonably well in the pot. It is not what would be considered an exhibition rose for rose shows, but it does put on a good show in the yard. Below is a picture of what it did look like growing in the pot.

Maybe this will give you an idea what to expect.

In order to load more than one photo in a single post you have to upload your photos to a host site like Photobucket. Then you can copy the "html" codes from Photobucket and paste them in your post here.

Your Love Song pictures are quite pretty. Thanks for the look. If I have space, I might add this one.

You can get Knock Outs both ways. It just depends on what the supplier carried.

Yes, own root roses will send up shoots down the line from the roots. Just like a grafted rose will sometimes send up root stock shoots from the roots.

The ones I bought today to fill in the hedge I had to prune back do not say if they are own root or not but there is no "crown" like on a grafted rose and 4-6 canes coming out of each pot. They were also almost 2 foot tall already and half off....so I am going to have a nice start on filling in my holes.

New Dawn (10' to 20') is an everblooming sport of Dr, Van Fleet Height of (15' to 20'). As such it is not expected to have the vigor of Dr. Van Fleet.

Over the years it appears that some New Dawns are more like Dr. Van Fleet.

You may want to try Awakening (8' to 14') , a more controllable sport of New Dawn.

The numbers presented are from Help-Me-Find.

Weeell, I don't know about 'Awakening' being more controllable than 'New Dawn.' Maybe I have an exceptionally vigorous clone, but mine is the proverbial thorny monster. I did what catsrose suggests, and transplanted mine to the back fence line to discourage incursions from neighbors I don't want to know.

Uhh thanks!!! I was thinking it might be rust but I thought it should be primarily yellow, not blackish...I guess the black is just oxidised yellow.

Yes, it's rust.

No, the black isn't oxidized yellow. In fact, the black is even worst. If you had a microscope, you'd see that the black are larger spores (when compared in size to the yellow spores also on the underside of leaves.) The black spores look like two wizard's hats joined at the base. What makes the black spores worse is that those are where the disease overwinters and will be the source of the disease next year.

I would also like a clarification on what Bayer product you are using. All-in-one, or 2-in-one, or 3-in-one? Most of those products already have a fungicide in them (for blackspot) so I'm not sure why you are also using neem oil. Does it do something else?

For a good Bayer fungicide without all the waste and excesses promoted by the all-in-one type products, use Bayer Garden Disease Control for Roses, Flowers, and Shrubs. You will also need to buy some inexpensive spraying equipment from a place like Home Depot.

Those all-in-one Bayer products also have insecticides in them. Most posters on this forum avoid those insecticides. If you have an insect problem, take pics and show them to us and we may be able to suggest solutions that do not involved insecticides (that can also kill bees and other good critters).

Did you check on how resistant to blackspot those roses were before you ordered them? Disease-magnets can be found in practically every category of roses. Sometimes it takes some serious research to come up with disease-resistant roses in each of your categories you want for your garden. Even then, depending on the disease pressures in your region (whatever it is), you might still need to spray a fungicide occasionally.

Yes, it can take several years for roses to settle in and begin to really mature.

What kind of roses did you plant? If they are Rugosas or have a lot of that species in them, spraying anything but water won't be a good idea.

Its only been in the ground a month. you have to give it time to put down roots. Keep watering well. It will stop rocking once the roots have branches out.

Thank you Buford. That was encouraging, kind of thought that the roots aren't established yet cuz of the only a month ago planting of it.

Maryl (Okla. Zone 7a)

Having lost almost all of my climbers to RRV over the years, (the most recent went this Tuesday), I'm left with one lone Aloha. I have an arch and originally had one on each side trained to go over it. Aloha is a shorter grower and it works quite well on the 8 foot arch never overwhelming it as some climbers can do. Now I don't do ladders anymore so I maintain the lone survivor as a tall shrub. This last Aloha has been in the ground since around 1988 and even with RMV (rose mosaic virus) it's still prolific and winter hardy. It's only fault is the the buds as they first begin to unfurl open up in the center and if we have rain, it can collect in the centers causing them to rot out. It has had better then average disease resistance for me too....Coincidently there is a daylily called Pink Aloha that is drop dead gorgeous. A good name for a rose apparently as well as a daylily....Maryl

I had more than I've had in previous years. I hope that isn't a trend. But it was still manageable. They seem to love certain roses, so I would check those and was able to send most of them to JB heaven (or hell).

So far, I don't have JBs, but we do have Chilli Thrips, which can ouright kill the rose, not just gobble up blooms.

Run do not walk to "www.vintagegardens.com". This is the site of the no longer active Vintage Gardens nursery. Just click on "roses", and you will see a list of classes. Click on any class, and you will see a list of roses (probably saying "no longer available", as the nursery is closed). Most of the roses have pictures. This website is still operating as of today, but may be gone soon - I understand that the non-profit which has rescued the collection plans on having their own web site, but I don't know if all of the rose info is on it yet. Thus, the recommendation to look at it immediately.

VG sells (which they may still be doing right now) a fabulous catalogue of roses, "Vintage Gardens Complete Catalogue of Antique and Extraordinary Roses". It is arranged by class, and includes many older hybrid teas and other "modern" roses as well as antiques.

Thanks Dave. I just went in and trimmed almost all of the "HOLY" leaves out but that left me with sticks so I will probably go ahead and cut it back.

Thanks everyone! They are concrete pavers and the water gets in between them (hence my weeds) and the rose has about 3 feet (a clematis on each side which may have been dumb) and about 18 inches width. Just in the short time since I posted these pics it has put up a lot of bright green growth towards the top. I just cut out a huge dead cane and supported the main cane with a pole. I will probably go and buy an arch shaped trellis to train it on but they are so dang expensive. The Blaze Improved next to it has, well, improved. It has put up new buds and green at the top as well. I see a hole next to it from some critter so I hope it won't hurt the rose. Dang critters. The blaze was transplanted in the middle of summer last year by necessity so I knew it would suffer but it looks awful. I'm guessing it will look much better next year.
The reason I posted is because I'm awful with roses (I have 100 daylilies that look fabulous) so I dared to buy some easy ones and I just want to make sure I'm doing all I can for it.
Thanks again everyone!

My Polka is about 10'x10'. It has fairly strong, stiff canes, but the rose is calling to me to tie it up some, this year. Do not give up on that rose, you will love, love, love it!
