shellfleur(z7a Long Island, NY)Updated I agree, your roses will sort themselves out and the blooms will ultimately face toward sunlight rather than toward the wall. I have an amusing example of such a thing. Years ago when my husband and I first bought our house, he pl...

charleney(8a PNW)Updated okay prof. that is what I also think. Leave him alone. They do look evil, but they are one of the good guys. And that is why you may be seeing all the aphid corpses around!

anntn6b(z6b TN)Updated Thrips season is late this year in Tennessee because Hay cutting is way late. Once the grasses dry out, the Thrips move on and the predaceous Thrips follow. Only the predaceous ones need some time for their populations to build. T...

cjrosaphile(z8 Pacific NW)Updated Hmmm. The fragrance is medium to my smeller -- but then I have Austins. I'm really on the fence becuz it does look like Perfume Delight, has large dark green matte leaves and red thorns. Very vigorous. But it also really looks lik...

ordphien(9)Updated Water. Easiest solution. Every morning go out and spritz your leaves. Powdery mildew needs dry leaves in order to survive. If you do this from the start you won't have to deal with pm ever. With an already infected plant, it won't...
Cardinal Richleieu grow well on the Texas Coast?
Posted by kingcobbtx9b
1 Comment
paparoseman(z8 WA. PO.)Updated Not sure about growing the Cardinal in that climate and having it bloom. Cardinal Richleieu is a gallica where it is NOT as important for it to get a lot of hibernation time to bloom. On the bright side it is very lightly armed wi...

Confusion about rose suckers

5 Comments
jerijen(Zone 10)Updated No. Suckers are simply rootstock, and rootstock plants do bloom. They just don't bloom like the rose you purchased. And MOST rootstocks bloom only once a year, spring-or-summer. Dr. Huey is the most common U.S. rootstock, and it i...

anntn6b(z6b TN)Updated I grew it a while back. IIRC it was beloved as an exhibition rose for the shape of the bud and that it could be teased open for rose shows successfully. (And it made big blooms on long straight stems.)
