Roses "A"
Time to start the ABC's of roses! Feel free to add your pics. We'll do one letter per week to spread 'em out over the winter season. I'm really looking forward to spring already.

Comments (7)I live in east Texas, 2 hours from Houston. After spotting this bug at night while I was outside near some lights, I found that the June Bug, which is common in our area this time of year, was the culprit who had been chewing on my roses. I use an insecticidal soap spray, cant recall who makes it, but you can get it at Walmart, Lowes. Spray on buds, leaves - this should stop whatever is chewing. As for wilt, the above posts are correct. If you have just planted your roses, they may exhibit wilt for a few days - just keep them well watered - and make sure you didnt plant in a hole that retains water - this can make them wilt. I read on the forum that it is really good to disbud for awhile, let the roses work on growing roots, not blooming. I now disbud all my newly planted roses for a couple of months. Maybe even prune them back a bit so less plant to have to keep moist. I usually prune my roses back a bit before planting. Also, just the heat itself might make them wilt until they get established. Just give them some time, they will probably be fine. Good luck! Judith...See MoreShortest Buck rose(s) suitable for edging rose bed
Comments (11)I've grown two of the Vigorosa series from Kordes, Innocencia and Emely. Both were short, very disease resistant and bloomed a great deal. This was in the southeastern US - it's rated to 6b by default on hmf, but may well withstand colder temps, being Kordes. Emely is one, I think that Pickering is phasing out, but I think it's still available from there. I grow Kordes' Cream Veranda and have found it to be very bs and mildew resistant here; very pretty bloom. hmf rates it to 6b but I notice that Celeste in New Hampshire grows it. New to me this summer, but I really like Tantau's Sweet Haze, which has a very pretty single pinkish bloom; Heirloom rates it to zone 5. I think hmf zone rating is in error, 8 to 9. What colors are you wanting?...See MoreRoses, Roses, and more Roses!
Comments (6)Funny, but I think I can smell it just by looking at your photo! Beautiful. I have never grown it, but I do have one once blooming rose, Canary Island. which is very well scented also and never ever gets a spot of any kind of disease on the foliage. It's been said that once bloomers are more healthy foliage wise. Yes, worth the wait. Thank you for the photo....See MoreRoses and roses and roses.....
Comments (10)Oh I just love your Beary Berry Iris!!!! I would buy that in an instant if I could find it and if it grew here. What a stunner!!! Shockwave is such an intense yellow!!! Love it!! Shadow Dancer is so unique for a striped. Lovely!! Perfume Tiger reminds me of my Julio Iglesias - same shade of pink. Again, lovely!! :) I love Smokin Hot - I've come to realize that I really like the lighter reverse roses. Brooks Red is my fav of your roses!!! Oh my!!! The color is similar to Chicago Peace. Oh my!!! Carol...See Moreiris_gal
9 years agoA Shropshire Lad - at Filoli, every time I see a pic I fall in love again. Alas, its flush was finishing when I finally saw in person. Still captured my heart. Understand it's a Tall one here.

9 years agoYeah, there are quite a few new roses jumping onto my wishlist.
Here's my baby Archduke Charles. My large plant didn't survive the transplant to the new garden. This one was purchased last winter and is currently about 2x2.
