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.

Mojave looks nice this morning.

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

Are you drawn to a certain color of rose?

Ninkasi(6-7 Germany)Updated July 30, 2015 White, ivory, cream and then apricot. I also love the softest shell pinks, like sdlm or new dawn. But I am also drawn to very dark colors too, like Tuscany superb or night owl. I like a bit of contrast.

titian1 10b SydneyUpdated July 30, 2015 Thanks - just beautiful. In my early 20's I stayed at Sissinghurst. How I wish I could relive that experience since becoming a gardener.

Do you have a garden buddy?
