what the fuzzbucket? we don't have rrd in pdx!
Comments (15)Since I saw your post yesterday, I've been trying to remember whatever I've seen that might be pertinent. Twice I've seen RRD (or at least witches' broom) on R. banksia. Once in the Atlanta Bot Garden) (where other roses in its vicinity had it) and once in South Carolina just northwest of Charleston. In both cases, the brooms were well developed, but had not spread down the canes. We saw the ABG ones over a several month period and they didn't get worse, nor did they spread. This past fall we had RRD way out on a cane or R. x fortuniana in my back yard. It made a witches' broom of epic proportions- the lateral breaks were four feet long and longer and there were more that twelve of them. But it didn't spread down the cane and the bush is healthy this spring. (Because fortuniana is a cross of banksia and laevigata it's useful to know that laevigata gets RRD (again in my garden), but laevigata makes lots of breaks at lateral buds and the witches brooms DO move down cane through the phloem. New cane growth curves because of one side growing faster than the other. I don't see that in your pictures. But I don't grow Banksias and I'm kind of surprised at an early blooming 'once' bloomer putting on that kind of growth in the heat of summer. Can you find some other folks in your area who grow it who can tell you if this sort of seasonal growth happens? Other things to do: measure the internodal distances of these canes and compare with last years. When internodal distances are shortened, then you worry, because that's such an intrinsic part of the way the rose grows. Ann...See MoreBeds and Beds of RRD in DC!!!!!!!
Comments (39)Ugh... A few years ago, I often walked past the Kimpton Rouge Hotel on 16th Street in DC. They had a front bed of KOs all infected with RRD, with giant witches' brooms. I tried to reason with them, begged, emailed with the manager, emailed their corporate HQ -- nothing worked. I was getting the usual run around, "thank you for contacting us, let us know how we can help, blah, blah, blah." The manager said his "landscapers" thought it was fine. It took about two years for all of the shrubs to die but I just stopped walking that way, I was so mad (I still am...). Please keep sharing ideas on how to approach cases like these -- I have a feeling there will be more!...See MoreI Need to Stop Looking up People in the Far Distant Past
Comments (34)I haven't made any effort to keep up with anyone from high school. I don't do Facebook, but my older brother does and his circle of friends in high school overlapped with mine. A couple of years ago he told me that, Matt, my best friend though many years of elementary school and high school had abruptly passed away. I also recall that he told me of another mutual friend from high school who had announced that he was diagnosed with colon cancer, I don't recall hearing any more about him. A third person lived two houses up the street from us from even before we started school, and during the trip to Cincinnati when my father was ill, my brother arranged for us to meet up with that person who coincidentally lived in the very house we used to live in. We visited briefly with her and her mother (who still lived in the same house, two houses away), and her brother. It was interesting to see our old house, and I was surprised how little it had changed. After that I made no effort to maintain any contact with her, but did hear an odd story through my sister about the brother passing away, and our friend having trouble notifying her mother about the death because her mother had filed some sort of restraining order against her....See MoreSOS to StillAnn - Containing the impact of RRD in my yard
Comments (54)Wow that is much more encouraging news than I'd suspected! Thank you so much for chiming in Ann and reassuring me on most of these roses! None of your messages were "dig this rose out immediately" so at least I get to stall for a while! I'm glad to hear some of these bizarre foliage symptoms can have causes other than RRD. We definitely had a sudden burst of extremely hot weather in early June after a cool wet May (like going from 60's to 90's for several weeks nonstop) so that could explain some of the odd growth patterns. The chlorosis isn't something I'd normally be that concerned about so if there's not any pattern of explanation for RRD, I'll let it ride. You are absolutely right that we never get rust around here except maybe in late fall, so I have no idea it could look any different than the "cheetos" dusting I've seen on photos. Again, it's a relief to have that foliage explained by something that around here at least is temporary. For Sweet Vivien, I'll let you know if she ever gets those particular canes longer than 6" and post some pictures. She's a short rose at best and is at present only 18" tall tops, so I can't tell what her canes would look like with 6" on them. For Darlow's Enigma, I could try to tell you what the sexual parts of his blooms look like, but I'm not sure I can identify the sexual parts of most mammals much less plants. I can try taking some more pictures of the suspect growth from a top angle and hopefully that will capture the parts in question. I'll definitely keep my eyes out for rogue RRD sprigs from roots nearby. One of my neighbors had a tiny sprig from the ground that looks like RRD, so I'll go dig that out for her. The tenacious roots of Dr. Huey make it not surprising that other rose growth could be lasting beyond the original bush. Rifls, I'm glad that Garden Delight is doing so well for you! I love that rose bush, and mine is particularly robust being from Palatine. Mine is incredibly hardy and makes a good pair with Firebird Citiscape. JC_7a_MiddleTN I am grateful that you posted with an indication that those hyperthorny canes might be normal for Inspiration!! It might make the equally hyperthorny menace of Cape Diamond less troublesome too since both are canes that don't have a finger's distance of space without lethal thorns on them. If they're potentially OK I'll leave them be until I see more signs of trouble. I'll probably post a few more pictures of roses that worry me, but I'm grateful that the odd signs I've seen so far aren't things to immediately worry about yet. I'll also post some photos of Typhoid Robin from last fall to demonstrate that I can indeed identify RRD when it's obvious :(. Thanks so much for your input! This was a lovely birthday present of good news Cynthia...See MoreRelated Professionals
