Will never go with them again! I bought 6 climbing roses from them last spring. Even though they came when expected, me being a VERY newbie and unknowing gardener, had bought roses that are only hardy to zone 6b (Scent from Above and Social climber)! I am in zone 5b. They don't list any growing zone recommendations on their site. In my opinion, any company that does not list zones doesn't deserve my business. Save yourself some more grief people and stay away from J & P! kentstar

Here's the scoop on spraying. I spray weekly. The spray has to be early enough in the day that it will dry before dew sets at night. Thus, I can spray at 6 p.m. in the summer when I get off work if need be. Get at least a one gallon or two gallon sprayer with wand. Don't use an old Windex bottle as the coverage is not adequate. Spray with goal of getting every leaf, and particularly try to get under the bottom leaves where blackspot starts. I try to spray using Ortho's product formerly known as Funginex. I also use a second type of fungicide either in combination with Funginex or in the alternate weeks. Now that I have a peach tree I will alternate captan which is part of the fruit tree spray. In early spring Daconil is alternated because it is good for the early spring fungal problems. In the summer heat Daconil will stress roses. I include in each spray a foliar feed, including 1 tbsp per gal. Miracid or Miracle Gro, and 1 tbsp per gal. fish emulsion. I also have Pentathlon and Immunox on the shelf just in case. Pentathlon is used just in case a spotted leaf should show up and then I try to innoculate the plant with repeat sprays as per directions. And Immunox I will use for powdery mildew roses, occasionally. Of course regular watering is needed and if it is dry, water the day before you spray.

Wow, what beauties they are.I love that PAINTED MOON.And PARADISE is real pretty too. I lost mine last year, after I had it for over 30 yrs..That PEER GYNT is very pretty, too,have never heard of it before.POP WARNER is a dream.It looks a lot like MOONSTONE, my favorite rose. PURE POETRY is really a pretty one, too..Some of my roses are leaving out now,and others are slower and just has some swollen nodes on them, getting ready to leave out. Jean

Black spot magnet, Omar. If you're willing to spray a fungicide it should do well. Height of 4' is more realistic for your 6 zone. Hope its not a cutting from a cutting, from a cutting, from a cutting, etc., etc. There seems to be a vigor decline in such Peace roses. You want a cutting as close to the original Peace roses as possible, so some rosarians claim, and I tend to agree with them. I have seen a planting of Peace that got excellent care but just never thrived, attributable to genetic drift (?), being so far removed in the commercial growing of it from the originals. Moses
