I've had buds that took so long to open that when they did, they weren't pretty. This was during a cool spell in spring. The next blooms were fine. You may want to pinch some of these off, to help expedite the next round of blooms.

Thanks, Kentucky Rose, I will watch, and if they get burnt or chewed, I may go ahead and pinch them off.

Ooh, Pat - that is indeed a perfect match, down to the notched petals even. Surprising, as I have Felicia already, but mine doesn't look anywhere near as gorgeous as yours. Maybe I need to give this second Felicia a little more sun and see if she can rise to the occasion. I have a lot of hybrid musks, and that makes sense for the RV mystery since there have been other Hmusks this year in the collection. I appreciate your help!

Yes, herbicide damage can look like the photos. Agree with removing the canes, and we'll all hope that it is nothing more than herbicide damage. Oh, and herbicide spray can drift 20+ feet.

I meant faciation(sp) but it's not that either.

Thanks, folks! It's nice to know I can occasionally get one right. Cadiarose - I'd be curious what you're getting as your freebies from RV. I still have three more mysteries that haven't bloomed, as well as three more on the way, and I'm always interested in a little advance warning of what they might be. Thanks

For sure 'hoovb' re reflowering. Our JC blooms profusely from the third week of June for almost a month and then almost no blooms after that.

Are sucrates the same as sulphates? I doubt it.

Gary(USDA ZONE = 9b SUNSET ZONE = 18 (Riverside, CA, USA))

I just finished re-planting about 10 roses to new (uncrowded) locations in my garden. Because it gets below freezing here only a couple of days each winter, I planted them with the union above the soil. (2 of those roses had Dr Huey canes so I ripped them off and planted the grafted parts)

3 other roses had been taken over by Dr. Huey (no grafted parts remain) so I trashed those roses.

In zone 9, I would expose the graft so that suckers are immediately identified as such. Also the fleshy roots are at the depth they grew at in the field. When roots of Huey are panted too deep, it may slow development of the plant for a while. On digging such plants, I've seen a beard of fine roots growing out of the shank with little development of the original fleshy roots.

In my zone it's best to bury the graft slightly.

It is gorgeous! If you want it to look more orderly now, pull the parts where you want them and use a little plant wire to secure them. Then you won't have to prune! I do that all the time with my roses and other tall plants/climbers that respond well to it :)

Thank you everyone. I think I'm convinced, other than maybe doing what Meredith suggested, I'm going to leave it alone.

I only covered the new greenhouse roses I just got and planted from RU just in case... Our other roses are established so those temps would not hurt those roses...

It has no fragrance to me whereas the normal orange blooms have a slight fragrance. It is very pretty though and I'd love to have a full bush of it. If I take a cutting of the stem and by a miracle I can get it to root will it root as this rose or just as the original color?

I would mark the cane with a ribbon and see what it does in the next flush. Some sports are stable, while others revert back quickly. If it is a stable sport, that whole stem back to the mother cane and out to future growth will produce the new flower..

Most roses are hard to root unless you have experience and the right equipment, so there is danger of wasting it. I would entrust the cuttings to an expert, or better yet, someone who us skilled at bud grafting. If it is a stable sport, you need to act before winter. Contact your local ARS chapter to learn who is the best propagator around.

I happened to be going through my newest rose catalogue, and I found another two Kordes roses which might be possibilities. They are Diamant( Diamond,White Sunsation, Brilliant vigorosa) and Heidesommer.

You will be pleased with the plant Burling sends. She's my "go to" nursery in the West.

Yup, what Seil said, since watering will be your main issue. Here in NJ, I lose anything I don't plant into the ground before winter, so I'd choose to plant it. If your bed is going to be too dry, then potting it may be a better choice.

I planted a Disneyland this spring too, can't wait til it flowers!

Ok so if I plant in a container, I've read I should use a mix of potting soil, compost and perlite. Any advice here?
