roseseek(9)Updated March 3, 2014 Avian, I don't know how much difference there will be between roses budded on a common root stock. Generally, I've found harder pithed varieties to be more more water stress tolerant than those with softer pith. Also, the harder t...

Desertgarden-Las Vegas, Z9aUpdated March 2, 2014 I thought Pink Peace too; especially due to the white edges on it. Beth makes a great point and I believe she has more roses than I have seen, however, if you are looking for a rose that has the appearance of the image you submitt...

thedogsLL(6B)Updated March 1, 2014 You could try food grade diatomaceous earth also, especially if pets are around. It won't hurt them if they do ingest a small amount, and it does a real number on any insect that has an exoskeleton. Here is a link that might be us...
