That looks very much like freeze damage that I get here in the spring all the time. If those canes were freeze damaged last fall they may never produce normal growth and will eventually die back. Although from your pictures the canes themselves look green and healthy so I'd give them a chance. I'm sure you've probably already had some frosts this spring as well (and we're expecting one here this weekend, oh joy!) so any really tender new growth could still be damaged again. This is my least favorite time of year for that reason. Keep it on the porch so it's more protected and give it some time. I think it will be fine. As for it not leafing out as quickly as the others, every variety has it's own time table for that. Some will pump out new growth at the first sign of any kind of sun or warmth and others will wait for it to get really warm, or hot even, before they budge a millimeter. Don't expect them all to react the same way to any weather conditions. Like children, they all have unique personalities!

I'm just managing to get her to bloom twice (spring and fall with the latter one being much less profuse). It does get more shady where she is during high summer which may be affecting her tendency to bloom (but then her blooms would have quickly fried anyhow, I think). Still, she's a young plant and I hope for some improvement as she matures. The flush I'm expecting to start soon promises to be the best so far, a fact that I attribute both to her being older and to the unusually wet and chilly winter and spring we had this year. My few once blooming OGR's are also promising a good flush this year (if mildew doesn't get the best of them..). I do prune mine (conservatively) in the winter and I also help her defoliate. This latter action has proved very beneficial for her health come spring and summer.

I grow both Maggie and Madame Isaac Perrier. Based on your photo and your description of the roses rebloom cycle, I believe that it is Maggie. It also appears to have loose petal formation which the Maggie I grow also has. The MIP has the more stuffed petal look if that makes any sense. MIP in my yard is also a deeper rose color. If you post a whole bush shot and perhaps a close up pic of the leaves it would be easier to know for sure. Hope that helps. Jeannie

I'm sure the individual may, but when "society" is trying to stuff a supposed "72 genders" into being a "norm", I'm just saying that's very concerning regarding minors. (Especially referencing "clover gender"; check that out). There would be no imposing when there are male and female except as what is being pushed by the supposed enlightened members of society. Such acts may indeed create unnecessary confusion in those that should be protected from adult issues that do not concern them and are underdeveloped in the mind to appropriately make truly thought-out decisions. Is that not why minors are restricted from various types of employment, alcohol, voting, motor vehicles, and anything else minors/children are not to be engaged with? Other beliefs are the construct of fanciful and infinitely creative imaginations that may need counseling as would borderline personality or dissociative identity disorder. I do not mean any of this in a cruel or ignorant fashion, but rather from basic elements as well as first-hand observations of how society continues to crumble and become ever less civilized as these things progress. It's one of many things I'm deeply concerned about regarding the slope we continue to slide down as humanity as a whole. The beautiful thing is that ALL* opinions are valid in a democracy. Steven
