jerijen(Zone 10)Updated January 12, 2015 Yeah, I agree with Jackie -- go ahead and feed it. It may just be that it's not going to bloom much until it gets to be as big as it wants to be. But I've also had very tall Shrub Roses that just NEVER produced much bloom, here at...

jerijen(Zone 10)Updated January 12, 2015 The two are SO different! Hermosa was a good rose in my conditions, but I didn't get as much bloom as I'd have liked, from it -- not as much bloom, say, as a "pure" China. But it's a GREAT rose, and a long-lived one. We ...

nanadollZ7 SWIdaho(Zone 7 Boise SW Idaho)Updated January 12, 2015 I don't exactly have the tropical plant problems you have, but I agree about roses--they are mostly tough. Mine survive 100 degree days in the summers and winters with single digit temps, and I've never lost a one. For a tropical ...

buford(7 NE GA)Updated January 12, 2015 Ann, Dr. Whitcomb said that if there were roots left, they could not graft or spread the virus to the new plant. I'm just going by what he said. Of course you have to try to get all the roots and it may be a good idea to wait to s...

buford(7 NE GA)Updated January 12, 2015 Dr. Windham also spoke at the joint Deep South District and Carolina District Mid Winter Meeting this past weekend. I'm sure it's similar to the link above. But the advice is to remove bushes with RRD immediately. Also things that...

iowa_jade(C 5b H 6)Updated January 12, 2015 I wish to retract and apologize for my uncalled for crack about the ARS. I can think of no other organization in the last few years who have tried so hard to broaden their coverage of roses of all sorts. Give them a try. Their Mag...

hoovb zone 9 sunset 23Updated January 9, 2015 My experience in a no-chill climate with the Kordes roses is that most of them have excellent disease resistance but in a no-winter climate grow huge and would rather grow huge than bloom. That is only a general observation--there...
