dregae (IN, zone 6b)Updated Thanks michael. Method number one sounds like what I would like. I've tried pegging and it looks wonderful for a year but it's to much of a mess to redo it every year so I think method one is the way to go. Thanks so much for the ...

Did I plant my Eden too close to wall and/or fence?

altorama(5/6 MA)Updated I'm not worried about blackspot, its just that the rose gets to wide for the space. Right now it is young so the canes may look pliable but as it gets older the new shoots are thick and somewhat stiff.

summersrhythm_z6aUpdated Jeri, I guess that's why we have to cut off the old canes every 3-5 years. I learned this lesson 2 months ago. My rambler-Blushing lucy's 3 main old canes all went together, they were about 7-8? yrs old, now I have nothing wrappin...

jjpeace (zone 5 US/zone 6 Can)Updated Actually I would think that it is common sense to note that all of us are from all walks of life and from diverse gardening zones. Most people (myself included) give advice and always add that it is based on our experiences in our...

SoFL Rose z10Updated Mine gets black spot and has always been a rather sparse bloomer. I know she does well in certain places. Apparently she did amazingly in the biltmore trials, but she's never been a good performer for me.

mad_gallica(zone 5 - eastern New York)Updated Definitely your choice of roses. HTs are too fussy to survive here without a lot of help. There is a big learning curve before people can balance between enough to help, and too much to hurt. With hardier, more disease resistant r...

seil zone 6b MIUpdated If you don't break up the root ball when you make the transfer from small pot to large they shouldn't really feel any stress at all. They should only feel stressed if the roots are heavily disturbed making it more difficult for t...

view1ny NY 6-7Updated Hang in there with TG. Mine survived the last 2 horrible winters & that's saying a lot as I lost many, many others that just couldn't take the cold. When it grows a bit more, it'll hopefully put out tons of buds & blooms. ...

michaelg(7a NC Mts)Updated The picture shows a nest of the small carpenter bee, probably shallow, drilled into the pith of a cut cane. As you see, such canes can support vigorous growth above. I would leave it until dormancy or until spring pruning next yea...

BethC in 8a Dallas, TXUpdated Nope, no fertilizer. We still have a yard of weeds in our new house so haven't put anything on it. Neighbors on both sides fertilize but most people here use a company that sprays on fertilizer twice a year and I obtained MC aft...

summersrhythm_z6aUpdated Toolbelt, All 4 of them have thorns (not a lot, but here and there) on the back of leaves. The rose band was from Angel Gardens, others were from JP. May be when they're older, the thorns would disappear, won't be spicy any more? ...

mirendajean (Ireland)(Donegal, Ireland)Updated There's some fragrance, however with the rain I'm struggling to determine the strength of it. The blooms last a good long while though and there hasn't been any trouble with balling in the rain.
