Brittie - La Porte, TX 9aUpdated August 27, 2015 Lol, I didn't notice the autocorrect fail in my post. Espinosa? Geez. I have around 200 roses, and only use conserve after I spy early damage. I use the amount directed on the bottle.

Patty W. zone 5a IllinoisUpdated August 27, 2015 Based on the stipules I would have removed it also. One thing about rrd is it draws your attention often before there are clear signs. Rrd for some reason has been slow this year to show normal symptoms. We're seeing odd signs fir...

SoFL Rose z10Updated August 27, 2015 I get occasional split blooms on mine, but only about 10% of the time. Do I think moonstone is prolific? Yes, its very prolific. One of the best bloomers here, but I do admit she seems to love the heat. If you live in a cooler cli...

kublakanUpdated August 27, 2015 I find all of these pretty healthy AND on the stingy side with blooms. My vote would still have to go towards GD as she put out some great blooms earlier this year and has good strong canes.

seil zone 6b MIUpdated August 26, 2015 Yes, stake and tie for winter, prune in the spring. You want to leave as much stored energy in those canes as possible for the spring. You will probably still lose some of it to the winter winds but you'll have some left to star...

chris2486Updated August 25, 2015 It sounds like you bought a small own root plant. It takes a year or more to form a nice plant from a small band pot and to do that it needs 5 or 6 soft pinches to form multiple canes. If this is not done then what will happen i...

Patty W. zone 5a IllinoisUpdated August 25, 2015 Seil do you think perhaps he was calling it deadheading as in how you would a hybrid tea. Since Home Run begins to regrow from right underneath the current bud. It does take quite a while to re-bloom if cut back instead of just re...
