How do you attach rose canes to a climbing support?

toolbelt68(7)Updated Same as fragrancenutter. The twine allows you to direct the laterals where you want them to go. Over time the weather breaks the twine down for easy removal. The electrical cable, being copper, holds up forever. I pick up a sma...

jkellydallas(8a)Updated " Is it worth the effort to transplant rose bushes of this age?" I think the question is about the rose's age, and not its size. No?

titian1 10b SydneyUpdated fragrancenutter, I think (and hope) you'll see a spotting of blooms after this flush. It seems likely, given the performance of mine.

flowersaremusic z5Updated Thank you all for so many good suggestions. That first bright bloom was not welcome in my pastel garden, but the color gets prettier as it ages and I surprised myself by really liking this rose a lot. Kes Z suggested pairing it wi...

ozmelodye(Z10 S-E Australia)Updated The fall blooms on your Mme Antoine Mari are really lovely. Mine is just starting her Spring flush because I was bit slack dead-heading her winter flowers, so lots of hips developed. Mine grows quite happily in morning sun; I foun...

dublinbay z6 (KS)Updated I enjoyed your story, Nana. No--I'm no where near Jewell, but I can empathize with your mom's story. I grew up in South Dakota and my mom used to tell stories like that. I remember once asking my dad why we didn't know and never v...

Prettypetals_GA_7-8Updated Yaaaaay! It's a beautiful rose. It fades to a gorgeous antique color and last a good 4 or 5 days in a vase. Foliage stays really pretty too but I do spray but not consistently. Lol

roseseek(9)Updated You're welcome. I sincerely doubt you are going to find any garden rose in those tones that will come close to lasting as long as anything selected for cut flower work. Either their petals are too soft; they have too few petals or...

Moving an established rose

Samuel Adk zone5aUpdated I agree with Seil. It is better to move it in spring. November is not a good time of the year to prune or move a rose in a cold climate. Pruning a rose causes stress and the plant exudes sugars. The plant needs all its energy to m...

AquaEyes 7a New JerseyUpdated I do hope it becomes commercially available soon. Paul had generously gifted me a small plant of it a while back, but it didn't survive. If I get the chance again, I'll be sure to pot it up in my "magic mix" before putti...

sharon2079Updated Several years ago I lost 10 rose plants all from cane bores. I am not sure what kind they were but they also took out a citrus tree. I tried to use wood glue over a cut, then I tried orange shellac, nothing worked. The borers foun...

toolbelt68(7)Updated Glad you all liked it. I started reading it before she moved to her present location so I've 'seen' her place grow over the years. The hours she must spend taking care of it is mind boggling.

caflowerluver(9b)Updated Seil - thanks for the advice. Waited to get back until the third bud bloomed. Pretty much looks the same as the second one. I was hoping it would be like the first. I will keep it just in case it does do better when mature.
