seil zone 6b MIUpdated Wait. It hasn't been very warm (we're still at least 10 degrees below average) for very long yet and I think it's too soon to give up hope. The soil hasn't warmed up very much. I don't know how it's been in KY but we haven't had a...

buford(7 NE GA)Updated The Bayer pellets or the drench don't really do a good job on blackspot. At least not here in Georgia :) You are better off using separate products. Bayer does make a fungicide spray that works very well on black spot. You can fin...

diane_nj 6b/7a(6b/7a)Updated I just received the list from Sickles in Little Silver, and they do show Blanc Double de Coubert. Not sure if the stock is out yet, give them a call if you are inclined to come as far north as Monmouth County.

nippstress - zone 5 NebraskaUpdated Hi Lothlin One of the reasons you may not have gotten many responses is that there aren't many grey roses that will survive in zone 5, much less thrive. I planted Aschermittwoch last year and it's showing no signs of life even tho...
