Comments (63)Is Brooklyn a convenient location for you? (Sorry, my American geography is not so great..). If it is, the Cranford Rose Garden at the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens might be what you're looking for. They have a wonderful collection which seems to include a high proportion of Antiques and Species/near Species. Sadly, I only know this Garden through photos and descriptions. A lady from there posts here sometimes - is it monarda?? There were some terrific pics on a thread titled 'Spring walk around (very long)' posted by labrea last june, that should whet your appetite!

Comments (5)You don't say what methods you have used with which plants so it is hard to give you ideas on why your experiments were unsuccesful. Japanese Maples are pretty hard to root but your Hydrangeas will root fairly easily from hard wood cuttings taken almost any time. To give yourself a sporting chance take plenty of cuttings. Just cut lengths of stem 6 ins to a foot long (remove any flowers or flower buds). They don't have to be the ends of stems you can cut up a long piece but it needs to have leaf nodes on it. The simplest method of all is to stick them into good soil in your garden and keep them watered but not sopping wet. Forget about them for a few months and then inspect them. You will be surprised how many will have rooted. A slight refinement is to put them in pots outdoors with or without a plastic bag over them. This method works with many shrubs such as forsythia, philadelphus and even roses. The problem with rooting plants in water is that they often don't make the transition to soil well. Better to start with soil or potting compost....See MoreHelp a newb! What can i do for these guys?
Comments (5)Well I'm not a rose expert as far as bugs and diseases go or anything else and hopefully someone with more knowledge will chime in. I would get rid of all the dead and mottled yellow foliage- look at the roots to see if they look healthy- hose any foliage that is left and cut it all back maybe about half -spray with anything for powdery mildew,mealy,spider mites for roses. Get rid of all the old soil, wash and sterilize the pot and repot in a nice loose mix. The canes seem to look nice and green still. Since it is spring it might bounce back. Don't know what zone you are in but here I would keep it in dappled sun and gradually move to full and bring in if temps dropped too low. If new leaves start fertilize lightly with rose fertilizer. Meanwhile keep it far away from other plants and bag or burn the crappy stuff. Hope one of the more expert people chime in because I kind of think it is salvageable....See MoreAustin Dayacap
