fig_insanity Z7a E TNUpdated I had a good laugh at the assumption (if you read between the lines) that because RRV had not been reported in CO that this rose couldn't be infected. What about "there's always a first time for everything". Duh. Some po...

countrygirl_sc, Upstate SC(7a)Updated Also explain to your DH that Round-Up can drift up to 30 ft or more, so it would not even have to be close to cause damage. Grass B Gone is a safer alternative for around roses. You can even spray it on the roses and it will not...

jjpeace (zone 5 US/zone 6 Can)Updated This is the first time I've planted this rose but it seems very vigorous. It has lots of blooms and they continuous once it start to bloom. But I will have to see how it does on its second year. The rose form and bush is beautiful...
