I enjoyed seeing the full article, Henry. Thank you.

Jackie, I think this is actually WISLEY 2008, with no "N".

John

Thanks, John. Now I found it. One of the pictures looks as if it could be a climber in this country - that would explain why it is putting out "long, thick canes" instead of blooming - it is waiting to bloom until it thinks it has achieved a respectable height. In any case, planting it in the ground should solve everything.

If ur interested in spraying try Forbid or Floromite.

Pull off all of the old leaves then wash the foliage every day for three or four days like Jeri said. If you wanted to spray something because spraying would make YOU feel better, you could order a miticide online (you're unlikely to find such a specialty product locally) but you need to start washing the foliage with water immediately. Since it would take a couple of days for the miticide to be delivered, the washing will have cleared up the mites by the time it arrives.

Bart, it sounds to me as if your spot gets plenty of sun. Roses are not allergic to shade, they just need enough sun .

To answer your question, I have happy bushes of the tea roses Safrano, Josehp Schwartz, Susan Louise, and Mrs Dudley Cross; and the china rose Cramoisi Superior (or some other similar red china) loves it there. Also the hybrid musk Pax, the rambler Dawson's Apple Blossom, and the hybrid multiflora de la Grifferaie, and the polyantha Little White Pet. In my garden these all get less sun in the afternoon than you describe, and morning shade

The best repeat bloomers of the above list in these conditions are the tea and china roses.

Thanks, forum maties! bart

Here is more healthy red new growth -- this on the Hybrid Tea Rose, 'Gardens Of The World.'

Jeri

Thank you kippy-the-hippy and Jeri, I was concerned about the red color.. I've had this bush for almost 12 years and I started seeing this red color since last year. But I recently heard about the RRD and was concerned.

I think you will find as Camps has said the " a temperate maritime climate courtesy of the gulfstream" and the "strange" soil types to my way of thinking.
Regards David.

That's interesting, Cecily. I was just up in San Francisco and thought "My god, I've never seen so many Impatiens in my life." I felt like I saw an Impatiens sodenii on EVERY block. I'm not a big fan of New Guinea Impatiens or Impatiens sodenii, so I really noticed them. I rarely feel like I notice roses in San Fran proper due to the lack of gardening space, but the East Bay has some lovely gardens with roses. I noticed a lot more beautiful Abutilon shrubs in SF than roses in fact, but I could've been in the wrong places.

But as far as England, Campanula would know better than me. Britain certainly strikes me as a more horticulturally inclined nation than the US, particularly regarding ornamental horticulture. I've heard mention of David Austins feeling like the "Knockout" of England. I think a lot more roses would be grown in this country if our "Knockout" looked like any number of DAs.

I agree with Sara-Ann. I love looking at all of your photos, exhibition or not, and learning from all of you. So what if it's show-related? It's still about roses!
Lynn T

I would rather leave the exhibiting questions/discussions to the Exhibiting forum, and not revisit that discussion again, it got very, um, heated at times, and good friends who exhibit no longer post to GW.

Do the leaves look different now versus when you had blooms?

Thanks to a poster here, I found that reason my roses don't bloom much is rose midge. It does not sound like that is your problem, but just in case...

Jeri, you cracked me UP!!!!! Ha!!!! You're right though. I actually was watering it now as I'm checking the GW forums and ran outside to take a pic for you guys. As you can see some of the top part looks dead but there are some green leaves that merged and you can see those in the pic. I'm praying this will survive and eventually grow as big as you guys say.

I'm grateful to you and Jackie for the advice as I nurse it back to health.
Elce

Elce -- It's gonna make it. And if it doesn't, Texas is full of monstrous old plants of it -- so you can always have another.

I remember particularly a monster of a plant that we passed in full bloom, just south of Dripping Springs, TX. I wish I had photos, because it was a wow.

Hi I also had difficulty importing from sd card with windows 8.1 ... I found a solution and whilst looking for answer I googled for info and spotted your post... I had to join this group just to answer 'hehehee' .... I downloaded Picasa 3 and that will give option to click on and import pics straight away from sd card to computer ... I hope that info helps you :)

Without using any specific software, can you connect the camera, by cord, to the computer?

If you CAN, and you turn the camera ON, the computer should just see the camera as an external drive, under My Computer.

If it does that, you can just mark all of the images, and copy them to where ever you need them to go.

This looks more like a picture taken in the spring since the rose looks so fresh and lovely. I wonder how well it held up in the heat of the afternoon. Many of mine tend to fry at that time.

Ingrid

In the afternoon, this little niche goes into shade. But to be frank, in the worst of the heat, I don't expect my roses to remain dewy and perfect.

EYE don't remain dewy and fresh in real heat -- much less my roses. :-)

How wonderful!

Garden web only allows one photo at a time. Some of us upload to alternate websites and post links that open to the photos

The roses are beautiful, but my eyes are focused on the healthy foliage! Amazing.

Beautiful photos. I want to get my hands on a Smoky, now. Or a Black Tea. :D

Burling had Black Tea this spring. I may have some cuttings in a couple of months.

Don't know who might still have Smoky-maybe RVR? Mine's a bit too small for cuttings, yet.

I like both very much. But Black tea has been more vigorous so far.
