diane_nj 6b/7a(6b/7a)Updated It typically take a rose 3 years to establish, but it depends on the variety. Some grow roots first, then top growth. The phrase is: First year sleep, second year creep, third year leap. If the canes are still green, that is a goo...

angel-faceUpdated I have newly planted a own root blushing iceberg. But 2 days after potting, many of its leaves have turned yellow. Some of the buds are dropping too. We have enough warmth here in tropics even during this part of the year, so that...

hoovb zone 9 sunset 23Updated Disbudding is more critical for small, newly rooted cuttings. A grafted or even an own-root body-bag rose has been growing for 18-24 months, so it's not so critical to disbud. Also you have a long (51 week) growing season. A short...

predfern(z5 Chicago)Updated Nahema is a nice pink climber in my garden. I recommended Ramblin' Red to my supervisor based on gardenweb posts and he said that it gets very big with lots of blooms.

diane_nj 6b/7a(6b/7a)Updated Cajun Moon might be better. My Moonstone always has split centers too, and I'm hoping it dies under the snow (I know that it won't, but I'm digging it out as soon as the bed thaws).
