taoseekerUpdated August 10, 2014 I'm not a bug expert, but I'm not a rose newbie and I am sure those spots are not fungus, but made by some kind of insect sucking sap of new growth or munching away at the leaves in odd ways. There are loads of them, not just aphi...

professorroush(6A)Updated August 10, 2014 Charles Albaniel is not much of a looker but will survive your zone. I think Charles de Mills might be a better choice; fragrant and very double, but only once blooming.

michaelg(7a NC Mts)Updated August 8, 2014 Roses transplanted in full leaf will usually wilt, and especially in the heat of summer. If transplants wilt, give them shade for a week or two. They look fine already. It takes about 6 weeks to produce a new set of blooms, so be ...
