Roses-Raspberries
Comments (8)hmmm, raspberries are susceptible to a number of pests and diseases - it sounds like yours has been affected by phytopthera fragariae. This horrid disease has been a problem in the US for some time but has now appeared in the UK (around the late 80s). Although there are chemical controls, there is not certain cure. A strategy of integrated pest management, including soil amendemnts with calcium (there seems to be a connection involving nutrient uptake and increased calcium levels in soil, although raspberries prefer a neutral to slightly acidic soil), planting on ridges to improve drainage (hilling), working to a shorter rotation, allowing the soil to remain fallow for several years after removal of infected canes (I have a five year rotation, replacing canes and planting in a new area) and using chemicals such as mancozeb (although I am not up to date on this and I am sure that other chemicals have been introduced as this has devastated crops in raspberry growing areas such as Scotland). Phytopthera can remain in the soil for several years so new polanting should happen in a different location and basic hygiene should be followed (avoiding walking on affected soil and spreading the disease to other parts of your plot, scrupulous cleaning of tools and boots)....See MoreFirst detection of Raspberry ringspot virus in roses
Comments (0)Title: "First detection of Raspberry ringspot virus in mosaic diseased hybrid roses in Germany" Although the title states "in Germany" the full paper suggests (to me) that no previous reports anywhere are known. I attempted a Google Scholar search and did not find any other reports. Apparently this virus is commonly spread by nematodes, but it may be spread by seeds so we should probably be careful about European rose imports (it does not appear to be established in the U.S.).

Comments (15)Mature Heritage berries will be 4-5' tall and with a spread of 3-4'. If you want a shorter, more compact variety, look for Raspberry Shortcake. And this is the wrong time of year to be looking for them.....try again in March. This is by far the most active and knowledgeable collection of online gardening forums :-) Yes, there can be some posting issues.....I find using phones to be the least reliable method with an actual computer/laptop (not a tablet) being the most reliable and easiest to access all the features. FWIW, I only enter the site through GardenWeb and stay signed on all the time and encounter virtually NO issues. IME, the least interaction with Houzz, the fewer problems one encounters....See MoreDoes anyone know where to get Raspberry Ripple Rock Rose Helianthemum
Comments (6)Sorry I am not sure which variety it is. I just went out to look to see if there was still a tag, but it looks like it's gone. I know it's a darker red than the one in your picture or Ben Ledi. I can see why you like the pink. The red flowers sort of get lost in the foliage. When it blooms, I can take a picture....See Moreroseseek
