I've attempted to grow FC on its own roots a couple of times. I came to the conclusion that it's one of those HT varieties that remains puny as an own-root simply because it doesn't develop a strong root system on its own. It was only when I gave up after several yrs & SP'd mine that I realized how inferior the supporting roots were.

seil, I had my first FC for years. If it hadn't died, I would still have it. Treat yourself to a new one. Palantine has it grafted on Multiflora. You will be happy. FC is a great rose when it's thriving.

Thank you all for your nice comments on one of my babies.
I just cut that cane full of blossoms and put them in a
pretty vase with water and food. Easy way to make a bouquet.
Brandy usually lasts well after being cut.

I'm having this issue this year as well.

Regarding the organic methods of plastic or newspapers around the roses in spring, how big of an area would I need to cover? To the drip line? Or does wind possibly have them landing outside of that?

Last year I read about a blogger who attempted to deal with RM by removing the top couple inches of soil in the fall, but she reduced her blogging this year and only vaguely stated she still has some RM but continues to instagram fabulous rose pics. Based on the pics, I'm tempted to remove topsoil followed in spring with a newspaper barrier.

Thanks for these posts.

I'd go beyond the dripline as far as you can...
Maybe contact the blogger to see how she did it and how things worked out?

Removing soil?

Read this in a article:
There is some anecdotal reports that removal of any mulch and loose soil around the plants in late fall will remove the embedded larva which burrows about 1-2" below the surface. Again this material must be removed from the garden or anywhere within 150 feet to prevent return of the insect.

Seil, I really do hope you're right. This year was so disappointing.
James Galway which was a bloom machine for the past few years (literally hundreds of buds at a time; I couldn't even count them all) had an ok blush in June and about 5 blooms since then. I hope it bounces back as it's one of my absolute favorites & would hate for it to breathe its last breath.

oops, I meant to say that James Galway had an ok flush (not blush).

Build cages or use milk crates etc. around you ant traps so pets can not get to them... Maybe?

If I strew my long rosemary cuttings around the house would it keep palmetto bugs out?

I don't have either, but I very much desire Teasing Georgia for her beautiful form, rich yellow color and pale green leaves!

The CD I had in California hardly ever bloomed, I think because it didn't get enough sun. This one might need a sunny location, might also not like too much heat. I notice on HMF that it is being grown in Moscow. Golden Celebration, in the same location, mostly light shade, became huge and bloomed all summer with very little supplemental water.

It's impossible to say for sure without seeing more of the plant's habit and botanical details. Kim

Guinevere is the most outstanding rose in all 125 I grow. always in bloom,cuts last a long time, healthy. No scent. Really love this rose and hear very little about it. I agree with Traviata. Lovely rose that lasts. Lesley

Isn't Traviata real thorny?

Double Delight can have many, many looks. Very white with just a tinge of pink edging is one of them and not abnormal at all. And the colors can change dramatically in just a few hours.

These are photos of one bloom taken over a 24 hour period.

Took more pics today as the experiment continues....
So far things going great for the roses with Marigolds!
I'm very happy as I can still report good results! And hardly any rose slug damage at all! :-)

Above in my last post I just updated results on Roses wth Marigolds.

This post has the dark side! Roses WITHOUT Marigolds which are the same type of rose bushes are getting slaughtered by rose slugs!
Leaves are being stipped off worse & worse each passing day!

Just now took these pics! You can see 3 Rose Slugs in the one pic..

Ooo, Lady Sadie looks very intriguing, Beth. I don't know anything about it other than the picture now, but I'll keep my eye out for more info on it.

I just ordered Neil Diamond today from Edmunds. They did have me pay for it, but it won`t be shipped until next april. I am looking forward to growing it. It will be in a pink and white bed.

Pat Austin has proved to be a big disappointment to me. I've had her 3 years now. She puts out a big first flush, then I get nothing out of her once it gets hot. And a few piddly blooms in the fall.

tare,
I'm thinking about Mary Magdalene too. Did you buy some? Or did you decide on something else?

You can make collars yourself using either old flower pots or gallon milk jugs. For the flower pots just slit the side and cut out the bottom. On the milk jugs you need to cut the top and bottom off and then slit the side so you can get them around the plants.

In CT I'd wait until spring. You'll need to prune them then anyway and if you time the transplant right in the early spring they'll wake up in their new spots and never know they were moved. You want them to have as much canes with stored energy in them as possible coming out of winter.
