A common problem with rugosa roses in the North is Rose Stem Girdler. They kill whole canes by tunneling under the bark in a swollen area. Look for these canes in mid to late summer, cut below the swollen area, and bag or burn it. Otherwise the larvae survive winter and become adults that lay more eggs the following season.

I fill the very bottom of my big pots with old plastic water bottles before putting in potting mix and plants...it helps improve the drainage and makes them lighter to drag around when I need to move them into the garage for winter and what not.

Yes, I think you have to be a member on HMF to us the private messaging. I would encourage you to join because it's well worth it.

Dave really needs to get his roses out there. I looked at all his plants listed at HMF and they were all beautiful! Lots of them are stripes and have great form!

Oh my goodness!!! How can that rose NOT be out in commerce!!! It's exquisite!!!

I also decided (just now) to go look at his other roses (never thought about it until I read above). They're GORGEOUS!!!!!!! I can't believe he's not selling his roses. If those roses can't get into commerce, then nothing can.

SoFL: The seedlings sure have Bonica's vigor. I thought they were goners.
Patty: I hope so! Here's praying that they'll bud soon. :D

I found these photographs of the Huntington on Hoov's blog: Huntington April 13, 2015. You have to scroll down until you get to the April 13, 2015 post. Thanks to Lynn and Hoov, I'm starting to appreciate those distance shots. They are quite something.

Do you think it could be First Class (Class Act)?

If it's been in the same pot for 10 years then I think it probably needs to be root pruned and new soil. Even in zone 5 with a short season that's a long time in the same pot. I'm sure it's root bound and the soil is probably completely depleted. Even with fertilizing you need to refresh the soil now and again.

Thanks for sharing! Accept for the first and last ones they pretty much look like single shrub roses A/K/A KOs.

I can't find the memory stick the scans are on (I moved), and the ARS annuals are boxed in the garage, but in the seventies or eighties, there were at least two articles in the American Rose Annuals about the use of ground pine bark cleaning root knot nematodes from the soil. It was used both as an amendment, mixed in the soil as well as a mulch. Previously infected soils and plants were found to be "cleaned" of the infestation simply due to the cleansing action of the pine bark. You might consider using it if it's locally available in your area. You might also search this forum for the scans as I am sure I have posted them within the past two years when the nematode question was raised previously. Good luck.

Oh yeah, i forgot about the french marigolds. They are ridiculously easy to grow from seed (and fast to bloom) so if you can't find them at your local nursery seeds will be the way to go. Also the pine thing Roseseek mentions. Thats why I said to mulch heavily with pine based mulch in the first reply. I should have clarified that pine mulch repels them.

Are you able to see the rose slugs? I couldn't find any. So I sprayed hard with the hose any way. Hope that takes care of it.

They are small and sneaky. :-)

They are tiny green worms, hard to see, but they are/were there.

you might give it a try. I also drain the water out of the self-watering pots because my roses weren't big enough when I re-potted them to have their roots reach that far and I didn't want to rot the roots with soil that is too moist. If you plant something in a pot that is too big where there is a lot of soil around the roots, it is possible to keep the soil too moist for the amount of roots and then you will end up with root rot. Not good. Suggest you test your soil before watering - stick a finger in the soil - if soil sticks to your finger, it's moist enough. If it's dry, you'll be able to tell.

Do you have pictures of it bloomed out before? The trunk is very distinctive and if growth was always at the top part of the crown it might be a tree rose.

Was it a bush from ground up?

Like everyone says, if you don't want to shovel prune it, I would water but don't actively think about it or stare at it for the next month, month and a half. Good luck.

No I don't unfortunately, but all the growth actually were at the top when it used to grow, then from the bottom like the average rose. I was actually thinking it could of been a tree rose, but I'm just not sure now, not an expert lol. I asked my mum if she knew what kind it was as she brought it, but she's not sure either. Yeah, what I'll do is just leave it and keep watering everyday and see what happens in a few months, I think that's all I can do really now. If it doesn't get back to how it was and it doesn't look right, I'll probably yank it up and replace it.

Hi Diane,

This is a list of my current roses:

http://www.helpmefind.com/gardening/l.php?l=3.4702&tab=2&frmt=1&scp=0&order=1&qn=0&qc=3d

It has been whittled down from about 250 to 70 over the past 10 years.

The other 3 thousand photos I have posted on HMF are rose pics from my garden, pics from rose gardens on the west coast and pics from nurseries. Such as this one from my garden:

Love Song is beautiful and such a nice name for the rose for your mom. I think the name is important for a memorial rose.
