Andrea, I'm no expert either but looks like it could in fact be Pearl Kordana. I would wait for the blooms to open for a better ID but the bud looks like the pic posted on HMF http://www.helpmefind.com/rose/l.php?l=2.47775&tab=1

Ivan not too sure what you have there - whatever it is it's lovely!

sharon, it is good if you have the heel, but not neccessary. You cannot always get a heel on the cutting. Ivan's cutting is similar to what I use. I would just cut a little closer to the bud eye and scar the bud eye before dipping in rooting hormone. you do not want to use too much of the rooting hormone as it will make the cuttings rot. I use a small dry makeup brush to spread the hormone powder on the scar I have made. Can you see the budeye just above the thorn on Ivan's cutting? I scrape beside it to scar it. Not too deep. You want to see the white. Some people make a slice, or two scrapes, and even mash it. Personal preference. I have tried all four as an experiment and really didn't see much difference in rooting success.

We were spared in my town, but other places had heavy damage. No hail for us or high winds. Just rain. We have had sooooo much rain. Good for growth of roses, but not for blooms.

Beautiful flowers! Looks really awesome! Our so-called storm had us freaked out in NYC but it was no more than 6 mins of normal rain ;/

Out of all the roses I received this year Ivors's Rose is growing like crazy. Got 2 of them for two separate spots both are growing the same.

Mine is very vigorous, but so far not a big bloomer. Although I think its because I keep hacking her down to try and keep her tame in the spot I put her in. I may have to move her.

Niagara peninsula is *warm*. It is almost zone 7, so just because something if flourishing there DOES NOT mean it is hardy. It really is the Canadian version of the Jersey Shore.

Thanks to all for your replies. I will give it a chance to see how it does in the years to come. I planted it in a corner away from everything...lol. It looks happy so far. It has been a cooler summer than average so that may explain the whiter blooms. To be fair, it has been continually blooming for two weeks now with snow white flowers (hopefully it isn't mislabelled) but the individual blooms drops its petals after a few days. Well worst come to worst, if I don't like it, I can at least say that I have satisfied my "craving" to grow this rose.

I was convinced from all I read it would be the perfect climber. Not. Flowers were light pink until noon? First rose I've deliberately removed. Since then I pay attention only to "rose praise" here on the forum.

Watch for a color change in the blooms of Knock-Outs and a change in the way that sprays bloom. Also in foliage color.

Right now, it looks good and healthy.

One problem with Knockouts is that they continue to bloom with RRD, but the quantity, timing and color change as well as the sepal forms. But the bloom is still there, only it's different and gets worse.

I had some witches brooms on my white Lady Banks. I hope I got it in time. :( (I'm in MS) I cut it back nearly to the ground and it's starting to grow back. I'm hoping I don't have to dig up and burn the whole thing.

Thank Patty, that helps a lot. I was hoping she wouldn't be a black spot magnet. Is fish emulsion safe for rugosas?

The fertilizer that hurts them the most are chemical ferts. They don't like salts and high nitrogen. I would add fish fertilizer to the soil. Personally prefer not spraying on leaves.

Hi enchanted, it's Diane again. Previously I had suggested that Lauren's Grape poppy was a wonderful plant of the most gorgeous color. Lauren Ogden, a well known garden writer, seed expert, and book author is the developer of this poppy which she selected for over and over in her own garden, till she got the pure strain for Lauren's Grape seed. It's widely available now, but my favorite seeds are from the company, Renee's Garden, and they call their seeds, Lauren's Dark Grape, and it is a rich and dark color. These are annuals and bloom briefly, but the plant can fit about anywhere. The leaves are a beautiful silvery color, and I love the "pepper shaker" seed pod that develops. Let the plant reseed or gather seeds after the pod is ripe, and scatter in late winter or very early spring. Here are a couple of pics, taken by my talented granddaughter. There was a little too much sun the day these were taken. If you've seen my photos, I should mention that every one of them she photographed. DianeLauren's Dark Grape poppyLauren's Dark Grape Poppy

Thanks all for the suggestions. I also saw purple "million bells" planted at the base of roses with groundcover herbs. It was very pretty.

Yep, they're still pretty pricey. I paid a ton for my KOs. I hope he can make some fragrant KOs........ :-)

Great timing Jeri. This information should be useful to the poster who wanted to start his garden business in another thread.

I also got botrytis on my roses. It has been raining at least 3 days out of a week for the last month. Thunderstorms here and there and humidity have caused brown edges on most of my rose blooms since the spring flush. What have helped my roses to minimize botrytis spread is cutting off the affected blooms and deadheading as soon as I see signs of browned edges.

I secondly agree . Half of my blooms look like this too. I use the secateurs for remediation.

It sounds like you have done your part, and now the thing to do is to be patient and let the rose do its.

I'm not usually a fan of peat moss, but there are times when it is the thing to use. Lightening and acidifying soil is one of those times.
