A possible latent period of more than a year is mentioned in this talk:

countrygirl_sc, most likely you have two different versions of the operating systems and/or different versions of the browser. Bring them up to date and your problems should go away. However, I hear the new version 10 of Windoze is giving a lot of people fits so you may want to hold off for a few months until the bugs are fixed. Of course you could get a Mac but that's just my opinion.... lol
Toolbelt, my husband agrees with you! He downloaded(?) Windows 10 a couple of weeks ago and is having a lot of problems. He said yesterday that he wished he'd waited a few months. (I'm not computer savvy and am still wading through ' I-pad for Dummies')

Here is a link to everything you need to know about Ravens. In fact from what it states they will be having it out with some Falcons very soon. That should be very interesting to watch.

To locate a crow roosting area just go out at dust or dawn and record the direction the crows are flying. Do this from more than one location then plot all of the direction onto a map. Where all of the lines cross is their roosting area. Wear boots if you plan on walking around in that woods as the ground could be covered a foot deep with their droppings. People have tried using fireworks at night to drive them off but most times they keep coming back. So think twice before you tempt them into hanging around…..
Here's another vote for JC. Really hard to top a good rose. I would also mention to her not to be disappointed if disease happens in the first couple years. Sometimes the weather can be unkind to our roses as they establish. Once she gets a good root system down she's hard to beat. Also consider getting her own root for added weather protection and plant deep to where the branches begin to fork. She'll be smaller in the first year but well do well there after.
I beat myself up the last couple of years trying to find some more great yellow roses, Why was I trying so hard to find yellows as good as JC (duh). I ordered 5 more this year.
Patty, Julia has been a workhorse here, even in the not best conditions, some morning shade and mid-day sun, then shade then late afternoon sun, 4 1/2 of sun hours tops but she still keeps blooming.
Thanks for the heads-up on disease the first couple of years new Austins have been disease disasters this year. Maybe year three (next year) will be the year I'll see an improvement? One can hope.
I'll be ordering her roses and suggesting the best for her to pick from. Luckily she doesn't mind if they lack scent. This gives her a lot more choices. They'll definitely be own root. winter hardiness is definitely a concern. I have Peter Kulkielski's book 'Chemical Free Roses' for reference plus the wealth of information and knowledge from the rose forum community so I'm sure we'll find something that will provide lots of beauty without a lot of stress.
I'm like you guys. I cut all my roses and make pretty bouquets all over the house. On a good day I have 6-7 vases full of blooms. At work they call me the rose lady because I make a new arrangement every Monday for my desk and it lasts all week. I heard people say they thought the flowers were artificial because they are always there. That made me kind of happy actually. At home people as why there are no roses in my rose garden and I'm like, they're all in the house (or on my desk) LOL
I keep trying not to cut them, so I can have a pretty garden full of blooms, but I can help it. I just want the roses near me so I can see them all day long. I've decided to underplant them with annuals to add color and not worry about cutting the roses. Maybe one day I'll have so many that I'll be able to leave some in the garden. But that day has not yet come. LOL
I have a pretty good start on a list, thanks everyone. Some of your suggestions seem to be harder to track down than others but I'll keep looking. I already have 3 of your suggestions. I've decided on 11 more and want about 20 so my quest continues. Thanks again! Oh yeah, if you have anymore suggestions of HTs please let me know.
HI Patty - thanks for the complement, but I don't think I deserve the credit for the clean leaves. It probably helps to have a dry climate like we have west of the Mississippi here. Those are pretty recent photos, so it's just a matter of climate differences I suspect.I totally don't spray anything - way too lazy.

The chances of a Master Gardener knowing enough to ask the right questions are really slim. Especially in an area where RRv hasn't been seen.
Likewise sending the plant material frozen in Dry Ice to Oklahoma and it getting there and being analysed quickly ....even slimmer.
I had a good laugh at the assumption (if you read between the lines) that because RRV had not been reported in CO that this rose couldn't be infected. What about "there's always a first time for everything". Duh. Some poor unfortunate soul (and rose) has to be the *first* victim in any area where it shows up! This WAS a post from two years ago, so let's hope the test was negative.

I have one QoS I budded on to Fortuniana and its growing rather slow. I also have one growing on its own roots to see if either fare better than my Dr.H grafted one that hasn't done anything. I just sent out a new basal cane (that would make 4 total) but no blooms. Its been in the ground for over a year (and I grew it in a pot for a year before that). I'm about to take it out of the ground and put it back in its pot since it grew much better in a pot (as all Dr. H roses do here), but I'm hoping my other two "experiments" do better as I really like this rose and she had very good disease resistance.
Harry,
D'ya know, I've never noticed so you're probably right. My thought at the time was that blood meal did the burning. Not that I checked the ingredients for blood meal even, I just assumed it was there by the smell/look/feel of the product. And dogs will flat put holes in the bag and eat it if you forget to put it away.
Now see what you've done...I'm second guessing myself :) Now that I think back, it's possible that the burning was done with Rose Tone, before I made the switch to Plant Tone.
Either/or, it's still a good idea to make sure your roses are well hydrated before fertilizing or spraying, imho.

Mary - when you have decided what to do, please let us in on your rose purchasing plans, and post some pictures of them on here next Spring - can't wait to see them!
Jackie
Will do, Jackie. I'll be combing through all the great advice and resources posted here. Thanks again!
