Thank you! My other cheapo roses have bloomed! Any help with naming them will be appreciated. You were right and upon closer inspection the roses did have black spot. I got some spray and applied it so I hope with proper use of the black spot spray it will recover. It continues to make blooms though. I got this one, thinking it was different from my other creme colored one. It might not but I'll let you fine people be the judge of that. And bonus photo of the Queen Elizabeth after another day of opening. Beautiful! Clipped it and have it on my wife's desk now.

Oh, April!!! That's heavenly!!!! Lucky, lucky you!!!! It's raining cats and dogs again (every day all of July/August)!!!! So none of my roses look nice...it's such a treat to see yours in all their opulence!!! Carol

You did all the right things, and the important thing is whether the roots and canes survived, not necessarily if the new growth survived. The roses can handle losing or drying out of the new growth because it's tender, and it's possible to get past the mold if it hasn't damaged the canes themselves. Do pull off any moldy foliage and watch the canes for signs of canker or cane blight, which would be large black patches that start circling or extending down the cane. You can still cut below the canker and the rose can survive, but with the mold and moisture issues you want to pay attention to them for a while. Bottom line is that you're right to check back with the company and see what they can do to compensate, but it doesn't necessarily mean the roses are dead. Bare root roses can be resilient, it just depends on how dry the roots got in transition and how well they've retained some healthy roots to support the cane growth. Sympathies on the damaged roses though - you're right to be frustrated. Cynthia

I couldn't name what cultivar, but some (beautiful) variety of creamy Hybrid Tea is my guess. Carol
