I have been using the Bayer product for a few years with great success against blackspot, mildew and rust.

I also spray every 7-10 days, but have not added anything to the mix.

What a good idea lesmc! I hate having to spray it would be nice to fertilize while I'm doing that.

Last fall I ordered one from Palatine because of Lesley's picture.

Probably means it's a darker colored rose. There is more pigment in both the stems and the blooms and the two traits are linked (as you would expect them to be).

It's completely normal to have variation between varieties. If, however,you have two of the same variety and one has stems that are red-green and the other yellow-green, then the lighter green one is not getting enough sun.

We have what I believe is a climbing rose that stands about 15' high. Most of the blooms occur at the very top. I'm wondering if I should prune it back by about half way so the roses are more eye level? I'm a complete rose novice, so I'm not sure if that would be bad for the plant or not.

In the photo (linked below), the rose is mixed in with a jasmine plant in the front and a huge blackberry bush in the back, behind the fence.

Hi Ken, here are some pictures from our Rose Day:

Here are the roses for raffle:



Here we are learning how to open roses for show that's Ken in the hat:

I actually won 4 of the same rose, Madame Plantier. I gave 2 away and have two to plant. I also won a swamp rose. And I gave away two roses I wanted to shovel prune. Perfectly fine roses, but now they will be in someone else's garden.

And I had my pruners and loppers sharpened and we hopefully have some new members. All in all a good day.

Congrats, Ken! You got quite a haul! Sounds like it was a really fun day too.

Buford, yours sounds wonderful too! Wish we had a day like that.

That fence sounds lovely, Andrea! Golden Celebration will love being spread along it and will bloom wonderfully for you! I have mine on a trellis with the canes draped around it to get more bloom but spreading it sideways will be even better. Can't wait to see pics!

Thanks all, three called dibs on already. The roses need to go before mid-April so there isn't a huge rush.

I only have one single rose, Mutabilis.
It was only planted as a bare root recently, but is already flowering profusely and is putting out strong new growth.
I think it is going to be a great single rose.

Mutabilis: To me it has no scent, but the colors of the petals are really lovely, and it's a very attractive bush. My young-ish plant withstood two separate weeks of night-time temperatures in the teens with hardly ANY evidence of damage, it didnt even drop its leaves! And...it now has buds!

Mrs. Oakley Fisher is so pretty- that color! it's the kind of thing that the "NO HT" snobs really miss out on. Trivia- it was one of Vita Sackville-West's favorite roses.

Another lovely antique single is Irish Fireflame- the coloring is similar to Mutabilis- apricot/pink- but with a a great scent! I attached a link to a fantastic picture on HMF.

Something else that I think is really pretty is Jacqueline du Pre, which is single/semi-double and has a strong musk scent. The flowers are white, with prominent pink stamens, which makes for a very attractive contrast. this is a picture from last summer, when the petals were past their prime, but you can get the idea.

I'm not sure I'd be intrepid enough to plant in the snow, lol! I wish you the best of luck and can't wait to hear how they do.

Glad I'm not alone in the snow. :-) ... & that the roses still have a chance of survival. I would love it if these grow into strong beauties!

Well it is still alive so I must be doing something right! Seems to have some new growth on it too. Less than three weeks until the Easter holiday so I will be taking it home then - hopefully mum won't kill it! ;-)

Green,

The romance of your first rose is a memorable one! Job well done on caring for it :-) As for mum, just tell her to water it once a week and it should be fine! Roses are much more resilient that us mother hens are willing to admit. It's tempting to be a helicopter gardener but I'm sure it will be glad to have a spot in the ground and reward you with health and blooms.

Judith - the plant you asked after is one of the trailing begonias. I'm thinking maybe "Bonfire", but more likely "Million Kisses".

Thanks for the kind words and nice compliments, guys. I always feel blessed when something I've made moves others to feel something positive. What inspires me to garden is knowing I'm not the only one that will get to enjoy it, so thanks for the inspiration!

Sorry for the cross talk, AK.

Al, thanks for the name of that plant! I have never seen a begonia like that but plan to ask all my favorite nurseries about it. Gotta have it......Ya'll's beautiful photos are certainly inspiring after winter - such a joy to see such lovely yards! All my must do errands are done and I have the next several days to not have to go anywhere - just work in my yard nonstop and play with my horses. Heaven! Oh and the weather is finally cooperating - after not getting above 28 degrees Monday and not much better Tues. and Wed. - today is glorious and tho cool, perfect for yardwork! Cant wait to get started!!

Hopefully.......you all will have some time to upload more gorgeous photos! Happy Spring to all and the time changes Sat. nite!

When purchasing from Vintage, IF the plant is VI from Davis, it has always been listed as "VI". Their big catalog will tell you what the original source of the rose was. Kim

Gardentiller, I don't know if they're still available, but Nipstress recently posted the list from Vintage's last chance sale which includes four, VID Dr. Huey. Take a look at the below link and move on it if you're still in need. Good luck! Kim

nippstress - zone 5 Nebraska

Just keeping everyone updated - Vintage sent out the roses that are still left after the first rush and that's posted below. Among these, I see an additional recommendation for The Prince's Trust that I got from Vintage a few years ago, and it's a red climber that very enthusiastically wants to grow. It was probably the biggest band plant I've ever seen at nearly 4 feet long, and it put on another 5-6 feet in its first year. It's a very healthy happy climber in my zone 5.

desertgarden561 - I didn't do much pruning this year because of our drought. The deer did a lot of pruning on the roses, but not me. Also, many of my roses are old teas, chinas, etc, which don't get pruned much anyway, except to take off dead stuff and keep them off the paths and the driveway. What I did do re pruning was in December, so when the rains came back at the beginning of Feb, I think the roses were ready to sprout, and did so.

Jacqueline3,

I purchased my first Tea Roses this year and am looking forward to a less pruning in December:)

I really hope the Tea Roses perform well here. While they perform well in Phoenix gardens, which is a hotter place than here, it is colder here during the winter, but they should be just fine.

Any climber with somewhat flexible canes should be workable.

Mendocino_Rose(z8 N CA.)

I think Heirloom has Super Excelsa. That's a lax caned reblooming rambler, not exactly red but it would do. Crimson Showers would be nice but maybe hard to find. Have you heard of Perennial Blue? It has the same growth habit with mauve flowers. Rogue Valley has a number of these Wichurana types(now called R. Lucae).

I would go with the Romanticas here in So Ca if you don't want tall and leggy! The Austins I have put out octopus legs after their initial bloom and don't bloom that much. They hang their heads too. The Romantica's I have are Yves Piaget and Liv Tyler (used to be Comtesse de Provence). They stay much shorter and sturdier, are upright and last longer!

Drooping due to rain has been no greater problem for my Austin's than for any other type of rose in my garden.

Unless a number of posters start reporting that Boscobel (to use that example) has special problems handling the rain, I wouldn't worry about those broad generalizations implying that "all" Austins" suffer from certain problems.
