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.

Hello there, I am planning to buy a new rose and plant it at where the balloon is. Do you think it would be okay or do you think it would damage the old rose?

The reason that I am thinking of buying a new rose is because I don't want my front door to look very empty but I don't want to give up the old rose too.

I will change the soils and apply fertilizers etc.

Thank you for the information. I will not use the sulfur or the copper. They kind of scared me that I could kill the rose. I know I have treated them as annuals, but only because they died of natural causes. I will try and save up and get these other fungicides that were mentioned.

So very much appreciative of the information.

Thank you

Oh of course, I forgot to mention that Honor Guard is Banner Maxx. I actually use Honor Guard, not banner maxx. Its way cheaper.

Maybe I should be happy that my garden rabbit (who lives in the boxwoods behind my front roses and ends up being very polite about them!) has been leaving many presents in my roses ;)

Michael, I've killed little plants, including roses, by using mushroom compost in their pots and figured it was the pH. Everything else seemed perfect, but a few of them didn't like something at all! I used it instead of composted manure in my usual pot mix I make.

I think I'd try to cut it off, the canes there and all. I don't know exactly what it is, but those canes won't hurt being cut shorter.

Here on the east coast, the air stays pretty humid enough so that I don't seem to need to make little "greenhouses" for cuttings -- just keep them out of midday sun, and keep the soil moist. My first round of cuttings are starting to put out new growth, and I think I'll have far more of 'Rose du Roi -- original' than I expected. I took a lot, thinking it'd be harder to root than others I've tried, but so far none are showing signs of rotting before rooting. But in any case, that video is very informative. In different conditions and with different types of roses, we all have to try a few ways before we hit on what works for us.

:-)

Hi Seil. I haven't posted in a few years - I appreciate your comment, and yes, I looked at Angel Gardens website but calling them is a good idea. I'll do it!

I love that great pic, wirosarian. Not only is SA beautiful, but TZ is a bit jealous because it's beautiful, too, and wants in the pic! I love my TZ . And as many purples and wines I can fit in my small garden. Diane

Steve_gw, The blooms on ThinkingOfYou are a decent size, as is the bush itself which has a neat vertical habit with shiny bronze leaves. The only drawback I have about it is that in common with most scented HybridTea reds, the bloom color fades after a few days to a pinkish hue. I'm currently trialing Royal William which has had very good write-ups in the UK, just to see if it has the same issue.

I was thinking of this thread when I saw our ever returning unnamed rose today. As I recall it was relegated to the untamed wilds at the back of our property a several years due to an ever present pest problem when it was front and centre. It doesn't get enough sun now and the deer invariably snack on it flower buds before it blooms. But this year it has come through. I am proud of it. Such RED!
