dublinbay z6 (KS)Updated Roses are sun-lovers--usually need at least 6 hours of sun a day. If you don't really have much sun, I'd recommend you switch over to hydrangeas--they are gorgeous and usually like part sun/part shade to nearly full shade. Definit...

nippstress - zone 5 NebraskaUpdated Cool - glad to be helpful, shopshops! If we both got the same substitution, there must have been an error somewhere earlier in the propagation process, so they honestly thought they were sending us Gene Boerner once they had the r...

deervssteve(9)Updated I'm not worried about the deer killing the roses. I've had about 15 bushes unprotected for over 20 years. The problem is except for the climbers and a few tall bushes they eat almost all the buds and stunt the growth of the bushes...

Ronn BonitesUpdated I still think mutations like sports are the best form of genetic modification from nature. Who knows? Maybe one day those failed blue roses will sport and we'll get a true blue one. Also, bullet-proof roses! lol! That made my day.
