Mom's roses second flush

12 years ago

Hi all,

I missed my mom's second flush of roses by a few days. Drat. It still looked pretty good yesterday, so I snapped a few photos for y'all.

From front to back: Our Lady of Guadalupe, Yves Piaget, Guy de Maupassant.

Yves, Guy, and to the right, White Licorice, which is already too big for her garden after just two years.

I missed the full flush of Yves. :(

Guy is so lovely.

OLOG and Yves.

And my roses today: Pinkie, Bronze Star to the right, Marmalade Skies, and Julia Child.

How do you encourage a second flush of blooms?

If you have no leaves, then I strongly suspect that your roses probably have blackspot, a fungal disease. Especially if they are hybrid teas. You will want some kind of fungicide treatment or, if you don't want to apply a commercial fungicide (Bayer Advanced Disease Control for Roses, Flowers and Shrubs is a commercial fungicide that quite a few people who "spray" fungicides use), then you either have to replace them with disease resistant varieties or live with no leaves (which leads to weak then dead plants). Commercial fungicide application should begin at the start of the growing season, but the Bayer product will help will an active outbreak.

We've all been there, Renee; it happens to me every year, it seems. Things that were gangbusters last year and a bust, or a partial bust, this year are a part of gardening. And yes, I'm talking to YOU, you nonblooming Princess Victoria Louise poppies, who put up lovely clumps of leaves, but nothing else! And YOU, "reblooming" tall bearded iris Clarence. (You can't rebloom if you haven't bloomed even once.) And the less said about you, TB iris Rosalie Figgie, the better. Although sometimes it's difficult, I try not to let it get to me -- to see the overall loveliness and not dwell on the individual disappointments. Especially since I'm more than willing to accept the reverse -- plantings that were mediocre at best one year and become Stars of the Garden the year after. (Brava, Bolero, finally ecstatically happy in a pot!) So mebbe this year they are Dwarf Somewhat-Less- Than-Imperial Larkspur. They are still lovely. Kay

So lovely! I'm a little envious of your cooler weather and rain. We've had record-breaking heat lately and no rain for awhile. Anyway, your roses obviously appreciate the weather - not to mention all the TLC that they get from you.

Seil beautiful pictures! You really captured it perfect! I have this one also, and even though it's small it puts out some lovely blooms. I'm so glad I took a chance on her. How old is yours?

Yves seems to make a nice punctuation with pastel pinks. Which I love love. Super garden shots. Thanks Hosenemesis!

Renee, both your mom and you are so amazing gardeners! I love the first photo of your mom's garden especially. All the pink roses complement each other so well. And the photo of your garden with Cl. Pinkie on the arbor is hard to beat. All the pictures look as if we are talking first flush not second, by the way :-)!

Thanks for letting us participate in the garden miracles that your mom and you create!

Renee, why don't you just admit these are all plastic and make me feel better! Seriously, I'm just amazed at all this beauty and the absolute wealth of bloom. I'm showing my Cl. Pinkie a picture of yours so she'll get her act together. Thank you for posting these gorgeous pictures. I wish I knew your secret for having so many roses in bloom right now.

Thanks, you enablers. I went to my mom's today, and her roses are STILL blooming like mad, especially Guy de Maupassant and Our Lady of Guadalupe, but Yves Piaget is looking great too with many blooms. My Pinkie has about reached the peak of her second bloom this year. Next year will be the test: it will probably be too big for the arbor and that means I will have to learn how to prune a climber. Got the Ashdown Roses pruning videos cued up on youtube.

Bwahaha, thanks Seil for enabling more Renee photos! Also have to say, Renee that love to see all that layering of pink tapestry. everything varies and contrasts, it's an amazing symphony...Very difficult to do. My pinks are like ugh, one overall blanket of pink/bleached out pink-to-white booooring! I can make excuses like oh, Kansas Sun did that, lol! But the truth of the matter is I should have predicted this and done something about it, haha!

Lovely gardens. Guy de Maupassant makes quite a display here. I wonder, though, if it would tend to ball in a more humid climate. Yves Piaget was not vigorous here.
