How do I care for a Kordana rose?
Comments (2)See the link below for a thread from the mini rose forums about saving a mini rose gift. First, you'll want to let the rose sit outside in the shade for a few days. You want it to get used to the outdoors. Be sure to keep it watered. Those pots that the minis are in are usually fairly small. Then follow the instructions for separating the roses. There are usually 3-4 in a pot. Once they are separated then you can go ahead and plant them or pot them. You can fertilize them once they've bloomed but not before. Too much fertilizer will hurt the roots. I hope that helps. You'll have to see if they get blackspot or other diseases in your climate. They're usually good here. Next spring you'll have to cut off the dead canes, but that's easy, and then it will regrow. Here is a link that might be useful: How to save a potted gift rose...See MoreFavorite 'tree' rose? Rose to climb & drape a crab apple tree
Comments (5)I have Paul's Himalayan Musk Climber on his way up a mulberry tree at the end of the driveway by the garage. He shows the ability to have this tree completely swallowed in a few years ... it's the look I'm after, fortunately. American Pillar is planted on the fence by the Rose Field, and I intend to encourage it to take over a cedar tree. I haven't been too successful, yet, because the canes keep getting blown out of the tree. This rose is WAY to vigorous for a crabapple tree, IMO. How about Gardenia? It blooms once, but it lives to climb trees. It will scale your tree and spill out the other side, with pale yellow-fading-to-white flowers in clusters. Beautiful. Some opinions of the others that have already been mentioned, since I'm in your area: Madame Alfred Carriere tends to grow straight up around here, then form an 'afro' on top. May be a possibility, but it doesn't 'hang' very well. Susan Louise probably won't survive here. I want this rose very, very badly ... but it's probably too tender. Mermaid? Way, way too vigorous once it gets going. Alberic Barbier, though once blooming, is a wonderful rose. The canes are very flexible, so it would hang nicely off a tree. It will go 15' in a season, easy. A possible deterrant ... the wichuriana ramblers make lots of basal canes, which would need to be trained up the tree every year. My AB made at least 12 new canes this year ... no lie. The multiflora ramblers may be a better choice, if you are considering once-blooming roses. Veilchenblau is my favorite of these. I don't grow it, yet, but it will stop traffic at Robert's house when it's in bloom in his holly tree. or Tausenschoen? For re-bloomers, maybe one of the hardier tea-noisettes ... Reve d'Or or Lamarque, perhaps? Photos? You asked. Alberic Barbier Leontine Gervais (another beautiful, stringy Wichuriana rambler) Paul Transon (wichuriana) Gardenia Veilchenblau That should be enough for this morning. As you can see, depending on the effect you're after, the choices are practically endless. Just avoid the really tender ones. HTH, Connie...See MoreCinderella Kordana tree rose question
Comments (8)Natural, it's hard to say, because there are some fungal diseases (botrytis) and/or insects (thrips) that can cause those brown edges, but my money is on the heat. A lot of my roses are getting those crispy edges too. And particularly the paler colored ones. See if moving them to a spot that gets some shade during the hottest part of the day helps. Now, how tall are the tree roses? Is it the standard size tree rose with a 36" trunk or the smaller ones with the 18" trunk? It's hard to judge their height from your pictures. Mine is like 6 feet tall now between the pot, the trunk and then the rose bush on top and there is no way I can protect the graft at the top of the plant that high up by packing it with mulch. On a tree rose, besides the root ball in the pot, you have to protect the graft area where the rose and the tree trunk are connected. If that graft dies your rose will die. If you have a garage or shed they should go in there. I pack the graft with crumpled newspapers, then wrap the whole rose, trunk and all, with burlap then put one of those big brown paper leaf bags over the top of it and it goes into the shed up on a pot trolley. Be sure to leave yourself some way to get water into the pot. It should be watered once a month throughout the winter....See MoreNew Kordana mini. Is this healthy rose?
Comments (5)Hi, thank you so much for replying! I was starting to lose hope, haha. I neglected to say that I keep the tray only when it's inside the house to prevent dirt falling on my tables. Otherwise, it's off. I inspected the leaves (top and bottom), and even put a piece of paper under and tapped the leaves but saw nothing at all-- that's why I can't figure out if it's rose slugs. How do I get rid of them? Ive since repotted the three healthy roses into a 6"pot and put it outside on my southern facing patio each day for sun. There's new little bunches of foliage that are turning red; I also can't tell if they're going to be new leaves or buds. I took out the dead looking one and saw a couple white roots so I stuck I back into the 4" pot with potting soil. How do I help the split cans survive? Sorry for the abundant mass of questions! I just really want the rose to live and all the research I've done wasn't able to answer all of my questions....See MoreUser
