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!

Mouse,

You can remove the dead and dying canes at the base. What happened to the leaves on the part that is alive? Did they get black spots, turn yellow, and drop?

Summersrhythm; Thanx for your input- I use Bayer's systemic rose & flower granules, but haven't been very regular with it. Michaelg; as for the leaves, a few had black spot but not as bad as I've seen in previous years. A different rose bush looks like it was fried, but the leaves are still hanging on. As mentioned above I use a systemic because I feel it is a more direct application & I don't have to wait for a calm day (few & far apart here where I live) to spray. Do you think I should cut the canes down now? We are in the midst of some pretty hot & humid weather with daily afternoon t-storms, I'm not sure if that would help or shock them. Most of my roses are floribundas or teas & have been growing several years.

You should attach your state and climate zone to your username. In zone 6 or 5 winters, depending on the rose variety, many climbing roses will suffer winter damage. Just prune away the parts that are not supporting normal growth.

I had the same thing happened to one of my ramblers this year-Brushing Lucy, it can't go around the whole porch now due to the same issue. I have to cut it back a lot in the early spring. I am in zone 6a, it has been pretty winter hardy, but this year I also had rabbit damage to some of the main canes. Some of the canes don't have much leaves, and turned brown......canker issue! I cut off some of the branches earlier, then we got sooo much rain for a long time, it rained everyday for 2 weeks straight. I think my issue is due to the canker. Now I have to wait when the hot weather cools down a little, and cut it back more tonight. Now is 81 degrees and sunny, the air is burnning outside!

thank you, it is a lovely rose but had to be left behind when I moved and I would love another one. I'm going to contact them and see if they will ship to Canada.

Oh that is a beautiful bouquet! I planted CPM this year and I am so in love with the fragrance. My nose is in that flower 2 or 3 times daily.

Hi Arlene can you please describe the fragrance of CPM for me? :)

What other roses do you burry your nose in like that?
