Comments (1)As soon as you can work the soil, you can plant a bare root rose. Your roses were packaged and are bare root. The growth you see is coming from food and moisture stored in the canes. While many recommend removing the growth, if it's a normal healthy green color I leave it. Menards isnot the best place to buy roses in spring. They sell anything regardless if it's hardy in your area. In your zone 3, Joseph's coat, John F Kennedy, and Don Juan are not hardy in zone 5 and will probably not survive your winter unless you do some really good winter protection. First Prize is questionable but love survives for me with only oak leaves as protection. You should be soaking the bushes in buckets of water for 24 hours before planting. When planting bury the bud union 4-6 inches below the soil surface. To be truthful, I'd return them and get my money back then buy some hardy shrub varieties like Candian Explorers or hybrid rugosas from a reputable nursery. They may not have the bloom form you want but at least they'll survive more than one season....See MoreWhat Zone 5 roses have you had consistent luck with in in Zone 4?
Comments (5)First, thanks Gary..I didn't realze I had a response on this because I've also been posting on the "antique roses" forum and got a bunch of responses there..I did get a bunch of roses at Sam Kedem. I guess it remains to be seen if any of them make it! Twohuskies has been responding to my posts there and we're in a very similar little microclimate I think. I'll definitely look into the rose you all have suggested. And yes Gary I agree that Sam is great. He has great info on roses and is honest about what he thinks will be hardy. Here is one of my roses that seems to come back again and again that I remember being a Zone 5 but don't remember the name. I had one possible ID on the AR forum as an Austin Rose, "The Dark Lady" I'm not sure if that's right or not..The name doesn't sound familiar to me. This rose is definitely my favorite in my garden and has come for 7 winters with only minimal protection. I've lost LOTS of others since then.. look familiar to anyone?...See MoreCan miniature roses be grown in zone 5?
Comments (10)Mcnastarana, The answer to why minis are so black spot vulnerable may not be directly genetic, but primarily physical. The lower leaves of roses are generally the first to show black spot damage. The fungus then works its way up the bush. The miniature rose's lowest leaves are very close to the ground. Black spot may more easily establish a foothold on them if the black spot spores at soil level are splashed up onto them. The shorter distance from the soil to these low leaves means splashes of contaminated rain/hose water hits them very easily. The inter-node distance between mini leaves is so short additional splashing on up the bush takes place. The bush is contaminated very easily and quickly. Also, the moister environment down at soil level favors more/quicker black spot growth and spread. When one black spot colony gets established on a large leaflet, say from a hybrid tea, it does far less damage to that leaflet than one equal sized black spot colony on a much smaller mini rose leaflet. The mini leaflet succumbs more quickly. These are my theories as to why mini roses are so black spot vulnerable due to just their physical nature. The genetic reason may be that so many minis have the genes of one particular large bush/flowered rose....the name escapes me. This large rose consistently throws miniature roses as offspring with crosses made with it, in spite of its large size. This large rose may be a black spot magnet on its own, so it may pass on its vulnerability to its mini offspring....See Moremarciaz3 Tropical 3 Northwestern Ontario
