seil zone 6b MIUpdated June 10, 2014 That's not RRD growth. It might be something weather related and left over from this bad winter and spring. I'd let them bloom and then cut those canes back and hope the plant grows out more evenly. Dead head those old blooms off ...

seil zone 6b MIUpdated June 10, 2014 I agree with Kim. And I'd just add that if they're about to bloom I'd for sure wait for that to happen before disturbing them.

canadian_rose(zone 3a)Updated June 10, 2014 Okay - good thoughts. I think I might toss it if it gets bad black spot. I don't tolerate that in my roses - and there's no need to spray here - since very few roses get BS. Hmmmm....I'll keep an eye on this one. Bummer. - but tha...

sara_ann-z6bokUpdated June 9, 2014 I totally agree about the rain being better than just watering. It's amazing how quickly things can change with roses. Several of my roses are absolutely loaded with new growth. As an example, Tropicana, which I like very much and...
