michaelg(7a NC Mts)Updated There are lots of "they say" beliefs in gardening that are just false. Seil has lots of zone 5 experience and is trustworthy. If you apply manufactured fertilizer in September, that may increase bloom in October, and the...

meredith_e Z7b, Piedmont of NC, 1000' elevationUpdated I've used spinosad when mine is that bad, but you must protect the bees from it while wet. Do it after they've gone in, remove blooms nearby, and don't use much at all. If they are that voracious (and mine were), they will eat the...

phyllissteen(Sunset Zone 19)Updated Got rid of it because the flowers would never fully open and they are scentless. I think naming it Red Eden was just a marketing ploy to ride on the coattails of Eden's popularity. Eden is much better.

roseseek(9)Updated There are two easy ways to figure out ripeness. One is to do what Seil suggested. It's what I usually do. The other is to wait until the peduncle beneath the hip begins to separate from the stem holding it. If the hip easily falls...

ratdogheads(5b NH)Updated Yes it has been cane hardy for me. Late growth on the tips will die back, and it's susceptible to breakage from the wind of course. I am zone 5b. I used to be zone 5a on the "old" map. Lately I'd been wondering climat...
