Zone 6 here also. All I can say is, weather pattern has been crazy. I had nice bloom on my forsythia hedge, and then we had a snow event with freezing temps and that pretty well nipped them. My daffodils did come up and bloom as usual, but not for long. Surprisingly the lilac buds made it through some of these erratic temperature swings. I just posted about not having chrysanthemum growth in a few of my beds. Sorry to hear about the daffodils. Unfortunately have to wait till next year. I suspect they'll be fine.

Did you send a picture to Replacements. com?

I haven't seen any answers on what could be the actual problem caused on your leaves.... someone said you can't grow the roses in the house..... but from what I saw it looks like she brought the leaves in, laid the leaves on the counter to take a better picture. I have done that myself because sometimes the outdoor lighting or the wind does not cooperate with taking pictures.... The leaves that you have on the right look to me like they might be webbing on the bottom.... forgive me if I am wrong about that but for seem reason I can not get the picture to blow up on the screen.... can you get a better close of the picture..... or can you tell if there is a webbing that is causing the lighter if it is it could be spider mites. I am not very good at being able to tell the coloring and the nutrient problems. Straw is the BEST in being able to identify those kind of problems. Good luck with your roses.... I know it can be very frustrating when you don't know the problem and then when you are getting info that does not seem to be helping......

Location could prove helpful as hardwood flooring wasn't shipped all over in those days like today. It usually came from a localized source or region.
