michaelg(7a NC Mts)Updated August 3, 2015 I haven't noticed the chevron symptom on Quietness. Maybe it is something else. Remember, I'm not giving you a firm diagnosis. That would need to come from a path lab. Actually insects (leafhoppers) cause the chevrons on some plan...

rosecanadianUpdated August 2, 2015 Thanks Altorama! I'm still waiting for the other rose to bloom again. It's a darker pink that was supposed to be Broceliande. So I'll be needing your help again then. :) Carol :)

Yeh, my first 2 monarchs in years!

Patty W. zone 5a IllinoisUpdated August 2, 2015 Asclepias incarnata is the one that does well up here. Diane... I was raised on a farm and the day was you could always see milkweed on the fence rows and ditches. Those days are gone. When I mentioned the farmer that was spraying...

This is the REAL rose that was supposed to be Broceliande - duh!

Turtleturtlemeow(USDA zone 9b; Sunset Zone 13)Updated August 1, 2015 The mint is more than a foot tall in the rosebush and the temp is typically 107 in the afternoon. Today it was only 100 because it rained last night and it is cloudy. We ignore ours as well, except for mowing it with the grass.

deervssteve(9)Updated August 1, 2015 I've got the room not so much the time and with the water rationing, maybe the following season. Everything is doing well so no replacements.

What is the problem with this rose?

bart_2015Updated August 1, 2015 I'd think that it is working on growing roots ,and therefore can't afford to spend much energy on producing good blooms. The leaves look fine; I'd say give it time. I bet next year it will be consistently pleasing.

mad_gallica(zone 5 - eastern New York)Updated July 31, 2015 A lot of climbers don't rebloom until they get to a certain height. Three feet isn't nearly tall enough. If it still doesn't rebloom five years from now, there may be a problem. Before that, it is probably just getting established...

Would like to know about your best climbers
