well, I have another one of each of them. I am impressed with the Cape Diamond and the AAT. I didn't get a good picture of their blooms.

Just beautiful roses, countrygirl. In the Mood and Veteran's Honor are definitely standouts! My roses from Brecks are doing well too. Here are a few that are blooming today:

Pink Promise ( Not part of the $19.99 collection)

Royal Amethyst

Tropicana

Definitely RRd and it's probably been there two or three years, as these are on the downward spiral and there will be fewer leaves and no blooms to speak of next year.

Knockouts would be a good rose to fill that space, but you need to scope out the neighborhood and see if your neighbors have KOs that aren't healthy.

The worst thing about RRD is there is no cure. And that it can spread with the wind.

If you want to replant KOs, read my ebook about air flow and the mites that vector the disease. There are some places that air-flow-wise just aren't appropriate for roses, and there are others that can be designed for roses. I can say this because I've been dealing with RRD in my and other gardens for fifteen years and I STILL grow roses.

I have a Claire Austin picture I can post. It is definitely not the same as the yellow and orange one in question. My Claire Austin typically looks like this although it is not the greatest.


There are two sets of leaves in this picture, but the Claire Austin ones are the longer and thinner ones. Also, the stems do not have lots of thorns, and the flowers do not last very long even though there are quite a few of them. The bush gets tall and lanky. I hope this helps a little.

I'm glad for your picture the_bustopher, the light green is not just on my plant. I can see how mine will eventually look like yours once it's established (I got it in May or June). The bud also presents as yellow so it is a positive identification then. Thank you!

maryjozone5, look at the first post with the photo. That is hardware cloth. It's very similar to chicken wire.

I am still finding a way to kill the rabbits in my yard.....cat won't kill rabbits, my neighbor's black cat is always in my yard, on my deck, I wish he can kill the rabbits.....I have been spraying Liquid Fence once in a while, it's not cheap, $30 a bottle, but this link mentioned about thiram fungicide farmers use, does anyone know where I can get it? Which brand? It must be cheaper than Liquid Fence......"Fungicides that contain the chemical Thiram are an excellent form of non-lethal rabbit repellent and control."

Thanks for letting us know. Doesn't hurt anything in the long run. Better safe than sorry.

We can only wait and hope that this isn't bad news for roses...again.

Any time there are fewer suppliers, the news is bad for consumers.

Thanks for all the help! I will just leave them alone and keep watering. It's just so sad and alarming to see so many buds go to waste. Thanks and I'll keep you updated. My luck and we will have an early frost and I won't get anymore flowers this year!

Your pictures could have been taken in my flower beds. My knock outs look terrible. I am watering with soaker hoses multiple times a week and the ground is still cracking open. The heat has been horrendous, the leaves look stressed and burned. Many buds aren't opening and the ones that do have wimpy petals. Others here know more than I do but I know from how mine are responding that they need a lot of water right now.

It should still be early enough to dig them out and sink them deeper. You've probably got at least 8 weeks of warm enough weather for them to get re-established before it gets really cold. Do as Countrygirl said and try to get a good undisturbed root ball and then sink that as deep as you want.

Thank you so much for your replies and the link to the video. I appreciate the input. Roses are new to me and I'm learning through my mishaps and mistakes.

Yes, please. Photos would be essential here.

I doubt the blankets had anything to do with their getting black spot. You probably just had the right kind of weather conditions for an outbreak. And I doubt that it ever gets cold enough in NE FL to warrant any type of protection. Even if you get a frost or short freeze it's better to leave them alone. Unless the temps are going down below about 28 degrees for an extended time you don't need to protect them. We do need good clear photos to diagnose any diseases though.

I use lots of manure before I plant. After that just when I can remember - a handful of pelletised garden food now and again. I think this rose loves lots of warmth and sun so that's more important than fertilisers. Most Austins would appreciate lots of water too. My roses are grafted on fortuniana so they are more drought tolerant.

It will remain under some shade until I'm certain that our temperature won't go into the 90's again, but I'll introduce it to some sun in the next week or two. It's in a 1 gallon as own-root, so crossing my fingers that the one bud I left on it will prove true. Thank you so much for the beautiful pictures and advice. I will post a picture of said bud soon.

Ok here's the deal... the William Baffin is not in a self watering container.

As for the others, last year my roses were wilting between the morning waterings and the evening waterings despite being in quite large pots - my backyard is very hot and windy in typical summers so they dry out fast. This year I decided to use the self watering pots to increase hydration midday - but this has been a wet summer until just last week. Will pull the water reservoirs and let them dry out as you all advise and go from there.

Just wanted to report back that the sudden death of canes and leaves seems to have ended... William Baffin is now planted too - I had the perfect spot for this bush which is pretty much a one time bloomer - full sun area until August after which it becomes part sun.

I removed everything from the self watering containers. Upon pulling the trays out, many of them were actually dry. So those containers probably were not the culprits - which means I still don't know what caused this.

Yep, now that you mention it, the Golden Glow was probably the Hybrid Tea. I wasn't interested in it, so I didn't pay too close attention. That's where it's listed on hmf, though, so it's at least worth a look next year.

I have bought it a couple times there since I am always looking for good yellow roses, but don't have it now.
