Im shocked to see Queen of Sweden on this list, I love the rose, but mine is a very stingy bloomer. I just grafted her on to fortuniana however and I hope she does better on Fort. Seeing her on this list gives me hope though. :)


I don't think that's RMV because the pattern of yellow is irregular. The peony next to the rose has some discolored foliage as well. I think a maintenance person sprayed something along that wall. Since the front of the rose looks great, I wouldn't worry about it. Gardening in public spaces can be frustrating.

I just found out that the yard was sprayed but we were assured they protected the plants with cardboard before spraying. The peony next to the rose has some tough looking leaves too, and saw that last year after they sprayed. The leaves on the rose, even though they also got spray on it looked mostly yellow. It didn't appear that they even tried to protect anything last year! I was concerned it was a disease I didn't know about and wanted to be sure it wouldn't affect the other 3 roses. it's very frustrating when you ask them not to spray in the beds and they do so anyway

I'm guessing a pimpinellifoliae don't know which one yet. Okay never mind thorns are not right or leaves. Your rose has unique leaves that should place it in a family of roses. There is a site called Everyrose.com. They have an advanced search feature. Type in everything that you know about this rose. You might get lucky.

Thanks for the answers. I got seeds with no name of this rose from a garden society, The seeds were from northern Italy. I grow the rose in the east of Austria. The climate is zone 5, Vine is growing here. In most of the winters branches are frozen.
The rose looks tender, therefore I do not think that it is a rugosa. The biggest flowers are 4 cm in diameter. The flower has a little fragrant, It is a once year bloomer.
I know Pimpinellifolia quite well. My unknown rose has too differernt thorns and leaves. They do not smell like apples
I will try the site Everyrose

Hi! My husband just bought me my first tree rose today for our 10 th anniversary. I'm in zone 4. I'm not at all sure on how to winterized it! I'm new to the tree rose but am loving it! I don't know weather to plant it in the ground, leave it in a nice pot and bring it int the house or outside in the garage. I'm hoping some one can help me save this rose for many years of blooming. My e- mail is soaringwings55@yahoo.com. Thanks Jeanne

Jeanine, Don't put your email address here for safety reason. The only rose trees can be planted in the garden is Polar Joy, a super hardy rose tree. Other than that you have to bring it in the garage during the winter, and water it once a month. You're in zone 4, you might need to wrap it around with a sleeping bag or something even in the garage.

It's hard to believe, sometimes, what eats roses, until you see it with your own eyes. My double delight rose is setting buds and some are open. I couldn't figure out what was chewing rounded holes in a still developing bud, but then found the culprit a few days ago. Large black ants. Couldn't believe it. They must smell the rose and figure there is food up there.

Does anyone know how to make the pepper spray? I have been using cayenne pepper powder on my petunias, as we have groundhogs that are decimating them and also my lettuce plants. I am at wits end with them-they eat a ton. When it rains, you have to reapply it-that's the downside of the powder.




The hot-humid thing--it's not as bad as I expected. Suppose to be back to good old June-Gloom tomorrow.
It's been so dry for so many years I've forgotten about foliar diseases--perhaps this is a harbinger of the heavy El Nino winter we will get this year. Hey I can dream!

I always get the RVR mystery roses, and the prevailing one a few years ago was Robin Hood. I checked hmf and both the dark pink and faded blooms are plausible with what was posted there. Of course, you know that I'm poor at rose ID, but I'll post a photo of mine from a few years back for comparison. In the ground, mine have really taken off as well as this one I put in the neighbor's yard (pardon the poor deadheading). They are definitely lanky and sprawly, but in these circumstances it fits.

Ann I've never thank you for writing your Rose Rosette E-book. I've perused it more than you would know. Incredibly helpful back in the day when few where saying anything at all and not any other good information out there. So much misinformation out there even today.

I've had good luck cutting out infected canes. I know what to look for and anything remotely suspicious gets cut. Better to lose a few blooms than an entire bush. If it shows up again or the infection is on more than one cane, the bush gets it.
I used to be surrounded by infected multiflora, but they built a highway and removed almost all the MF. I guess that's one good thing about the highway.







Epsom salts is rarely needed or useful. If there is magnesium deficiency, it shows in a particular pattern of yellowing, not in weak canes.
Many rose varieties are inherently floppy. They may outgrow it partly or completely. Stake the floppy canes and cut them back a bit, maybe 1/3, after blooming. They will grow thicker and stronger in a year.
We've had a lot of rain lately and that doesn't help because it adds a lot of weight to the blooms pulling them down. I have several that were covered in beautiful buds but as they opened and it kept raining they since laid down on the ground. Stake them up and leave them staked even after you dead head so the next batch of blooms will be better supported. There really isn't anything you can do until the plants grow and mature some more.
