RU will not spread through the roots. But if you are applying that close to other roses, either use a paint brush or sponge (it's best to use the undiluted RU for this) or use a blocker when you spray. You can use a piece of cardboard or plastic to block any spray from getting on surrounding plants.

Are you sure it is RRD? Since they are outside the neighborhood, could someone have used Roundup near them? The symptoms are very similar and Roundup can drift about 30 feet when sprayed....I learned the hard way when I first started growing roses.

Whatever you do, forget about using Sevin, it's too strong, not a good thing after all. I just want to mention that.

I prefer plastic or resin pots because they weigh so much less. Even if you never think you'll have to move it, trust me, you will, lol! I also prefer lighter colors. The darker colors get hotter and in a hot zone like yours might not be so good for the roots. I have some minis in pots that are maybe a foot tall and wide and then some in pots more than twice that size. It depends on the mini. I'm not familiar with Crazy Dottie so I'm not sure how big it might eventually get.

However, do not put the tiny band right up into a big pot to start with. Depending on how big it looks and how full that 4 inch pot is when you get it, I would suggest you start it out in a 1 gallon pot first and grow it up in size before putting it into a full size pot. I've found they seem to do better that way.

Thanks again for the great info! I am really looking forward to receiving and growing [hopefully!] this rose! Will keep in mind the lighter weight and color container when I head out to select the perfect pot for it :)

Grande Amore seems to have better disease resistance than most red HTs. It wants to be 4 ft wide and 5 ft tall.

I hope all your babies surprise you and come back strong! It is heartbreaking to lose those rare beauties. Good luck and do keep us posted on how they're doing.

Have a little patience. It will grow into a nice strong plant for you and will be the rose you wanted and not some substitute climber just because it's big. I think you'll be surprised at how fast those tiny guys can grow!

I got a small Jasmina like a rose band from Edmunds last month, I thought I was ordering a bare root. I am glad to hear Jasmina grows fast. Chris, would you please post some photos when it's in bloom? Thanks

I think it's time that we should cool down. Take a step back and remember to be kind to each other.

We should remember that on the other end of a posted message is a human being and the ways we say things may hurt someone's feeling no matter how right we think we are. We share the knowledge of what we know and let people make their own judgments of what will work best for them. I feel confident that we are "old" enough to make that call.

I concur Bayarea. My sentiments were intended to parallel yours. Henry, I am not in disagreement with your points and your story resonates with all of us, I'm sure. Buford, I see your point completely. The transmission of RRD is a serious matter as are the effects of the usage of dangerous chemicals.

I do wish for large roses since it is hard to grow them that large in my climate. But I don't think I want to tackle a huge monster no matter how beautiful. With regards to Thorns, it can't be much worst than Jude the Obscure, New Dawn, or Gertrude Jekyll.

I have a Westerland and I grow it as a shrub, in zone 9 he grows 10" every 6 weeks then blooms. His canes are 1" thick and I planted him next to a tall fence, so far he stands on his own. Pruning and training has a lot to do with growth habit.

I have a New Dawn that is about 7 feet tall on my arbor. I give it very little care and it has very little die back from winter. I live in 5b in north Mo just a few miles from southern Iowa. I have had it about 5 years maybe not sure.

Yes I do live in Canada, Laura. Well, I don't want it too overgrown therefore I will prune it shorter. I do want it to grow across my fence in the backyard. Thanks for the info everyone.

The canes are very stiff, you need to train it while the canes are still young. To me, it looks best trained on the horizontal. It is not disease (blackspot) resistant here in east central NJ.

I would love to see more interest in these fields! With all the interest in the environment I can see there would be growing job opportunities.

Kate: I really love your Jubilee photo. I just got that one this spring. I hope it looks like yours someday!

I am planning to put my JC by a bench so hopefully I will be able to enjoy the nodding flowers if it doesn't get too tall.

Need2SeeGreen(10 (SoCal))

Thanks so much, everyone!!! I did take a look at it again, but I didn't see *anything,* (well except for there are still aphids around...) so I don't know what to think. I will look up some thrip pictures and at least I will know what to look for. I didn't see any spider-y looking things either.

It is in a version of 5-1-1. As close as I could get to it anyhow. So, it's mostly bark chips. I may have overfertilized I suppose -- I put in Osmo Plus when I planted it and I put on fish emulsion every week or so. (Someone said the proliferation could be a sign of too much fert -- so maybe that's chewing the leaves too? I'll stop with the emulsion for a while.)

Thanks again! I really appreciate the help.
