henry_kuskaUpdated Sorry for the misunderstanding. I posted someone else's active thread, as I stated: "I decided to post it here so that we can follow what their "experts" say." I live in Ohio.

mzstitch(Zone 7b South Carolina)Updated Thanks Kate, I'll plan on 2 1/2 to 3, perhaps I'll ask when I pick them up at Roses Unlimited, they always give me great advice, and since I am in the same zone they can tell me how t will likely grow for me. I agree they won't be...

Kippy(SoCal zone 10. Sunset Zone 24)Updated Not speaking for others, but usually when forum members offer a couple of thoughts on solving a problem it is because they want to help. I don't think either Kate or I deserved your reply. Good luck with your garden, roses and com...

Kippy(SoCal zone 10. Sunset Zone 24)Updated Jeri, I need to invest in a few of those. As long as a few neighbors have breeding grounds for them, they will continue to be an issue. It was only the little baby rats that used to make it in the coop. Now they are cat toys and a...

dublinbay z6 (KS)Updated As much as I admire my Kordes roses, I find they do not make my heart sing the way my Austins do. Glad to hear your Kordes bed is doing so well. Kate

seil zone 6b MIUpdated I've known this a long time. Teach them early and even if they take a break for a while as busy young adults eventually they'll come back to it when they have the time.

roseseek(9)Updated You're welcome, Jim. It's the same issue with many russet roses. Brown Velvet and Victoriana are actually brilliant orange, but when conditions are right, they "blue" and appear chocolate brown. Many other roses do it, t...

nippstress - zone 5 NebraskaUpdated Ah, Diane - that makes sense to explain why things won't kick back in for the fall once you pass a certain point. Weak sun affecting the plant's photosynthesis must mean it can't generate enough energy to get past the bud stage ev...

diane_nj 6b/7a(6b/7a)Updated The "maidens" are budded (grafted, on R. multiflora rootstock) bareroots, but you see the process of the budded variety growing early in the process. It is thoroughly described in the link. As per Steve's page: A maiden ...

Kippy(SoCal zone 10. Sunset Zone 24)Updated If it was my place, I would weed really good around the roses and wait for spring to see what happens and then document the roses as they start blooming. Kind of looks like there might be a fun rose treasure hunt out there.

jacqueline9CAUpdated Yes. However, sometimes cuttings put out new leaves before they have made roots, so you need to leave it right where it is (including inside of the produce bag - keep the bag blown up so it makes a little greenhouse). I would wait...
