Double Delight Climber?
Comments (1)Climbing sports of Bush roses (such as Cl. DD) generally speaking GROW more than they BLOOM -- which is why they aren't more popular. If you want a lot of bloom (and why else plant a rose) look for a rose that was bred as a Climber. OR, if your climate and conditions are suitable (you don't say where you're located) perhaps one of the Tea-Noisettes, with a climbing habit. Jeri...See MoreDouble Delight not so delightful?
Comments (18)I advise giving it the royal treatment this year and see if it doesn't noticeably improve next year--it third year. Third year (or older) plants often outgrow some of their earlier "problems." As Buford suggested, give it a good afalfa feed (pellet, meal, or "tea")now and in about another month. I'd add that you should combine that with an organic feed like RoseTone (monthly until mid-August), and water it a lot. After a season of that, it should be a much improved plant by next year. Oh yes--you do have it in at least 6 hours of sun, don't you? It likes sun. And keep it healthy by spraying Bayer Advanced Garden Disease Control for Roses and Flowers, as suggested above. Good luck.

Comments (5)I swear it's the pine straw. My knockouts are just starting to bud. They're the only ones I've planted so far. But from Cameron's website/yard, I've got a solution. Red roses with purple lavender. I think I'll mulch that area with pine straw....See MoreHydrangea in Container - Double delight wedding gown
Comments (10)Hi @mzdee same story with mophead.. it had bloomed noticeably only once in the last 5 seasons. this year it managed to create tons of buds but the unexpected April freeze destroyed all. as far as growing in container is concerened, i had amazing success with this double delights hydrangea. cant speak for others as i have not tried to grow in container yet. The pictured hydrangea is in my patio container since i bought it in 2018. i have not taken any special care except for adding thick layer of mulch. i did cover the plant with an inverted bucket stuffed with dry leaves when the late freeze arrive (couldnt save the other as that was simply too huge to fit in a standar home depot bucket being a mop-head in ground). I think you will have greater chance at success if you keep the container on a brick or wooden surface, ensure the sun requirement is met and your hardyness zone is at least one higher than the plant’s lowest tolerable range. you will also need to find a planter as big and large as possible. i planted the one in a resin planter (20”h x 24” dia) that sits in my brick patio in full sun, the plant is only 3’ at maturity and smaller size means it had less root mass compared to the larger verities, and cold hardy to Zone 5 (im in zone 6b). i dont fertilize it except for side dressing with compost and one application of organic fertilizer at the begining of season. This year i also invested in two proven winners reblooming kinds from ‘Let’s dance‘ seriese, because i am tired of the hit or miss (mostly miss) experience with the mop-head. lets see how that goes. PW has not dissappointed me ever in the 8 years of buying the brand, so i’m hopeful of a nice experience. hope you found the info helpful...good luck with your container experiment....See Moreozmelodye
