mark_roeder(4B IA)Updated June 15, 2014 NoAcceptance, Drought the season earlier decreases Japanese Beetle grubs. I think it is harder for them to bore into the ground, and for the eggs to hatch without moisture. I am speculating that a 4' deep frost line helps keep the...

newrosesUpdated June 15, 2014 I would suggest that you keep nitrogen fertilizer at a low level so as not to encourage plant growth. On an own root young plant pinch back the stems so as to encourage lower breaks which will help form a bushy shrub with strong c...

jerijen(Zone 10)Updated June 15, 2014 Weather conditions may definitely affect bloom color. OTOH, it is possible that you have a sport. You could tag that cane, and watch to see what later blooms look like.

Austins, redubbed.

seil zone 6b MIUpdated June 15, 2014 Thanks, Lily! No I don't use allysum myself but I do know several people who do. I'll have to ask them if they notice any slow down. But if your roses have just bloomed that could be why they've slowed down too. I do end up with p...

dublinbay z6 (KS)Updated June 15, 2014 My Molineux grow about 3-3.5 ft tall. One thing a bit different about Molineux (as opposed to Munstead Wood, for instance) is that Molineux is a more vertical plant; Munstead Wood is "rounder"--the sides fill out. I've h...

anntn6b(z6b TN)Updated June 14, 2014 In agreement with New Dawn. Look for a tip rooted start (or a start where a cane has touched ground.) Or take a brick and help a long cane stay in contact with the ground through summer and early fall.
