Best climber for a small garden
Posted by lynnette

lynnetteUpdated I know that fragrance is important to gardeners, but keep in mind that the two weakest genes in the roses are the deep red and the fragrance one. Pirouette does have a "rose smell" but it isn't strong. So if you breed a ...

sara_ann-z6bokUpdated Thank you Kate - Glad you like the name, I inadvertently called in that, I appreciate your subtleness. I love the idea of all those fragrant roses together. I'm going to have to get Oklahoma, I've read so many good things about it...

roseseek(9)Updated If those of us in high heat, aridity and drought areas were to do that, few others would grow roses right now. I have the occasional really nice bloom on the most wretched looking plants...Kim

sara_ann-z6bokUpdated My Love Song bushes have good repeat bloom, maybe it just needs a little more time to adjust. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

vasue VA(7A Charlottesville)Updated Jasminerose, double thanks for the great link to Tom Carruth's presentation & the reminder of Jardins de Bagatelle! Delicious in every way, grew it in the late 80's in a colder more exposed garden where it succumbed to cold. T...

AquaEyes 7a New JerseyUpdated I think what might be a better route would be to see what kinds of roses are offered as standards where you are, make a list of the red and white ones, and then ask about those particular varieties. It would be a shame for someone...

Falling In Love isn't growing

pat_bamaz7Updated IâÂÂve had my Falling in Love (grafted on Dr Huey) for about 5 years. Seems like it was slow to repeat its first year, but I canâÂÂt remember if it was slow to grow, as well. It is one of my later roses to bloom each spring, but...

michaelg(7a NC Mts)Updated It's extreme iron deficiency chlorosis where the plant is unable to produce chlorophyll at all. Causes could include high (alkaline) PH, waterlogging, or if the pattern of growth is abnormal, herbicide damage or rose rosette disea...
Have I over pruned my roses?

michaelg(7a NC Mts)Updated Great! And insufficient water could also be an issue, if this is a drier year than you are used to having. In the summer months, roses need either about an inch of rain a week or thorough irrigation. A rose 3' wide could use 4 gal...

mzstitch(Zone 7b South Carolina)Updated Roses are heavy feeders, and if you have not been fertilizing at all this is definitly where you need to start. I use 10-10-10 with very good results so if that's what you have at home use that. If the plants only have a few leave...

nastarana(5a)Updated That is nice. I can't like 'Westerland', or sports, but I believe I would like 'Salita' I love the color shadings. I am wondering if 'Salita' might not add some interest to a mostly pink and white row, without bringing on the drea...

jerijen(Zone 10)Updated Also -- 5 ft. tall isn't at all unusual for a big Hybrid Tea Rose. And in hot weather, red roses may very well bloom pink. Then, too, fragrance is a very individual sense. There are many "fragrant" roses I cannot smell ....
