seil zone 6b MIUpdated If it's still green and growing it should bloom again for you. As the new blooms fade take them off and it should continue to bloom all season.

bunnicula03(z6b NJ)Updated Thanks, cold_weather_is_evil, I was not aware of metal tape. That might be something I use in the future. And vasue, I had also considered copper markers. I do like the looks of them, but my handwriting is no so neat. Diane, I was...

kidhorn(7a MD)Updated The rose looks good to me. If you want climbers to be their fullest, you need to train the shoots to go horizontally, not vertically. It's a pattern called espalier. Not sure how you would do that with your setup. You need some mo...

kidhorn(7a MD)Updated Keep an eye on the rose. If it starts wilting, make sure the soil is drenched and consider chopping off much of the top growth. Better to lose some growth than the entire rose.

meredith_e Z7b, Piedmont of NC, 1000' elevationUpdated I see it here consistently in the spring, and it's just the location, weather, and the rose's disease tolerance. I try to choose resistant varieties and still always see some when the weather is right for it. I spray with the Baye...

Have you used a plant support like this for a rose?

vasue VA(7A Charlottesville)Updated Agree this won't work - rather a glorified peony ring, the sort you put up when the stems of a perennial are still short so they can grow through the grid. You can find a large diameter ring without the grid for about $5 at Walmar...

Tessiess, SoCal Inland, 9b, 1272' elevUpdated I forgot one, Stanwell Perpetual, I guess because I think of it more of as a spinosissima since it has the tiny leaves typical of the class. Flowers are all damask in looks and perfume to me. HMF says it is only moderately fragran...
