phasedweasel(7b)Updated I just wanted to say, this thread in general and adriannecl's response in particular is exactly why I come here. Detailed experiences about someone else's roses in a similar climate to mine. The pretty pictures also help!

Cindi McMurrayUpdated Does it make a difference if these cuts are made during high temps? I think I need to do this to some of my non-performing HTs, including my Bewitched.

the_morden_man((Z4-Z5) Ontario, Canada)Updated I don't spray. There was a time I would use diluted sulphur, but I haven't bothered with that in 5 years or more. There are simply too many good rose choices now that are exceptionally resistant to diseases. If any rose in my gard...

jim1961 Zone 6a Central Pa.Updated I just realized after looking on HMF at my Carefree Sunshine pictures that I planted both our CS mid to latter July of 2013... So they were planted later than I thought.

particentral(8)Updated The ones I bought today to fill in the hedge I had to prune back do not say if they are own root or not but there is no "crown" like on a grafted rose and 4-6 canes coming out of each pot. They were also almost 2 foot ta...

anntn6b(z6b TN)Updated Yes, it's rust. No, the black isn't oxidized yellow. In fact, the black is even worst. If you had a microscope, you'd see that the black are larger spores (when compared in size to the yellow spores also on the underside of leaves...
