michaelg(7a NC Mts)Updated It looks like this rose is not going to be any good for you unless it is sprayed regularly with fungicide. But you could remove any dead wood and cut it back to say 3' or 1 m. if you want.
probably overfertilized

pinkkpearlsUpdated Yea we've been in the upper 90s, our nights have been mid 70s. I definitely don't want to spray it and would rather see how it recovers on its own

nippstress - zone 5 NebraskaUpdated Mila - I think Quadra would do nicely for you if you have a structure sturdy enough for it to grow on. The picture I have is just one Quadra, and it totally fills the arch. I'd had it growing free standing for a few years because ...

When to move an unexpected seedling?

altorama(5/6 MA)Updated But now you have to consider the fact that you don't want to have to move the railroad tie, so digging the plant up in the fall, with a larger root system, may be harder. In any event, I've always found that moving them in the fal...

nanadollZ7 SWIdaho(Zone 7 Boise SW Idaho)Updated I agree with Christopher. And I think aphids are a pretty easy pest to deal with in most cases. There is a whole universe of nastier insect pests out there to be vigilant about. I find mint to be quite invasive also, and what a ti...

SoFL Rose z10Updated The key is sharp draining soil. My biggest problem with growing roses in pots is root rot. I've lost many roses to it. They start to die back and then you can see the stem getting black from the bottom up. I started to look closel...

barefootgirl(z5b NE Ohio)Updated I'm in Akron, and the last two winters have been uncharacteristically bad for them, with brutal temps and a lot of wind. At least in my garden, there didn't seem to be any rhyme or reason as to which ones lived or died. Some of my...

countrygirl_sc, Upstate SC(7a)Updated OH, I misread your post too! Sorry. I know where the sweet gums come from in mine, but cannot figure out where the cedars come from. And I am always finding oaks, pecan, and hickory trees - presents from the squirrels, I guess....

michaelg(7a NC Mts)Updated It's best not to create layers in the soil but to use soil similar to whatever is already there, especially for the lower two inches. In zone 7, you need only to barely cover the top of the graft.

michaelg(7a NC Mts)Updated Just a caution, fall planting is risky for those in the colder zones. Small own root plants should be planted in late spring to give them a chance to gain strength before damaging cold sets in. Grafted plants are best planted in e...

Buford_NE_GA_7A(7B)Updated Crabgrass is an annual and will begin to die off soon. You just want to keep the seeds from coming up and repopulating the soil for next year. So just pull out the seed heads. The crabgrass will be easy to pull out (when it starts...

sharon2079Updated If you dig the rose up and the roots do not have knots on them, then you should be ok. If you have knots on them you may need to cut them off. Once you go to put them in a new pot you will need to make sure that it has plenty of o...
