AquaEyes 7a New JerseyUpdated If you planted a band this year, I'd recommend digging it up now and putting it in a pot. It probably hasn't sent roots very far yet, so if you dig a hole big enough, you'll get it all out. I think you'll find it grows faster if b...

mzdee(6b)Updated I buy bare roots at Aldis from time to time when they clear them out for $1.99. Yes, I'm a fanatic of a bargain shopper :) I suggest soaking them in water for a day or so before planting. And if the weather warrants it, plant t...

nanadollZ7 SWIdaho(Zone 7 Boise SW Idaho)Updated Hi Cynthia, Thanks for your sympathy on the flattened plants. I always gather hollyhock seed and throw it out in fall, late winter, and early spring. between that and the reseeding they naturally do (the ones still standing, I end...

nippstress - zone 5 NebraskaUpdated Heatwave2000 - don't despair about your Twilight Zone. I suspect it would have done the same thing in a pot, perhaps more so. Nurseries often pump the roses up on a lot of fertilizers to make them look good for sales, and by the t...

michaelg(7a NC Mts)Updated I wouldn't prune healthy wood from a weakened plant, unless maybe stems too spindly to support vigorous growth. There are nutrients stored in the canes that will help the plant refoliate. Probably the rust will subside as the summ...

stillanntn6bUpdated I wish they had tested the asymptomatic Lafter for the virus...just saying. Sounds like there's a source for the virus and vector mites fairly close to the garden...should be an interesting test. Similar tests (same plants) are b...

michaelg(7a NC Mts)Updated Jim's advice for insecticides is good. They will do less damage to beneficial insects. You need thorough coverage of the lower leaf surfaces of plants that are getting the sawflies' attention. And I wouldn't worry about it if up t...

nippstress - zone 5 NebraskaUpdated I have Scepter'd Isle in the neighboring state of Nebraska, and it's a pretty resilient rose. Mine recovers from winter damage without hesitation and in a normal year the blackspot isn't too bad. As Kate said, this hasn't been a n...

Ken (N.E.GA.mts) 7a/b(7a/b)Updated If you want something different that not to many people grow, take a look at Golden Wings. It's a great rose and is supposed to be very winter hardy.

jjpeace (zone 5 US/zone 6 Can)Updated I saw this rose the first time at a local nursery. I've been wanting this rose but now that I see the flowers in person, I have to say I am a bit disappointed. Then again, the blooms were old and fading soon so it is not a new ope...

braverichard (6a, North MO)Updated Happy to report that a bud has formed on my Hansa. Just one bud, I expected more considering the plant had been grown for 2 years before I got it but hey, I'm sure it is still just settling in, victory!

seil zone 6b MIUpdated I have Appleblossom Flower Carpet and it is also a sport of the original Flower Carpet rose. It occasionally has a cane or two that reverts back. I like the combination as well so I just leave them.

prairie_northrose (3b north of Calgary, AB, Canada)Updated Thanks rosecanadian! Here's a better photo of it's colour during cooler weather, I would say this is pretty accurate: I noticed the blooms appear more reddish when it is cool, and appear more pink when it is hot. Although not near...
