I'm glad your rose recovered with the water treatment. No chemicals are required. My miniature rose looked like yours, because I didn't know what it was early on. Following the advice I received from this forum, I washed the rose daily with water, giving a good spray to the undersides of the leaves. I also cleared any weeds, twigs or other debris around the rose to make it more difficult for the mites to climb up to my plant. It recovered nicely. Now, when I'm watering, I always make sure to wash the underside leaves, because spider mites can quickly defoliate a plant. I was told miniatures are more susceptible.
That's nice to know BraveRichard. I am planning only keep the hardy bands in the basement for 1 winter -6 months (Nov-Apr), then plant them in the garden next spring. The tender roses (shouldn't be growing in my zone) are going to be in the basement every winter. There is one rose I am not sure if I can plant it in the garden now, it's Oct already. It's a La France rose I just got it from ARE last week. It's bigger than 1 gal size, but it's not a hardy rose, there are not many weeks left for it to grow roots in the garden before the winter, so I am going to bring it in with the bands. My 2 car garage is full in the winter, there is no room for more pots. I have 8 bikes (motorcycle/scooters) and 1 summer car in the garage, the 25 potted rose trees will be between the bikes and the car in 2 tiers (they will be on top of each other) plus other 2 potted roses. I wish I have a greenhouse......,or a 3 car garage. :-)
Really like Julie's basement garden, have to find all the stuff this weekend. Winter is coming, today's high is 57.
in my humble opinion , it seems the cane is expanding with age, in the first pic , the rest of the pics show damage and scars, i would wait and see if the buds on the canes grow out then i would let them be, and as they age the scars will improve visually.

I MUST share this photo. Beyond words......
Thanks everyone! It's definitely dead even the roots looked dead, and it wasn't that hard to yank up either (which was good for me anyway lol). I have brought a new one and put it in the same spot, so hopefully that one does well. Thanks Kate yeah I made sure there was more space between the wall and the rose, hopefully it grows nice.
Zone 5B is a little too cold for many varieties Hybrid Teas. You may also have issues with a short growing season--they may not have enough time to recover fully from the winter dieback. A short season may be even shorter if the growing location does not get full sun all season. A soil test may provide some clues.
Dianne your PAoK sure looks like the right rose in those pictures. I hope mine will grow to be half that nice and I'll be thrilled. Sorry to bring thread back up again. Just had to tell you how gorgeous your rose is.
Beth did you send a photo to DA? What did they say?
The color seems very light for paok .
Respected rose grower bethnorcal I have a couple of Geoff Hamiltons almost one year passed no blooms. One threw out two inch thick 7 feet tall canes in spring.
My gentle heroines have performed after spring passed. After the summers. In September they bloomed.
I got this lot in January this year. I am in lahore pakistan.
