Comments (2)If these are already pretty well grown out and established in the pots I'd go for the ground. Just be really careful not to disturb the root balls in the process of transplanting them and mulch/protect them well for winter....See MoreRose de Rescht farm
Comments (3)Thanks for posting, Bellagallica. I truely enjoy the pics. Monarda, I was also looking very closely to the rose but thanks for heads up about pruning hard Bec pic 6 shows but I was not sure and 7 shows many buds. I was wondering if that was how the rose was naturally.....I don't know and I think you are right, prune hard. Jin...See MoreRose de Rescht Is Now Rose de Ruscht (RUST)
Comments (6)This IS the season for rust. I removed RdR from my Newhall garden many years ago because of its proclivity to rust. Many of the Portland, Damask Perpetual, etc. class can more easily rust, so where that's an issue, be forewarned. Rust is a geriatric disease, attacking old foliage. What you have on your plant is very likely the foliage left over from last summer, so it's "geriatric". If you remove the old foliage, very likely new, healthy foliage will replace it and should remain as healthy as you found it to be most of last year. Something I've observed with roses prone to rust is water stress can force them to rust. I would check to see if the pot might need more soil and perhaps repotting into a large pot. Many roses I've had rust issues with improved when I paid better attention to how much water they received to make sure they got enough and making sure they weren't too root bound, which can easily lead to water stress. If you have the energy and time, spraying with the hort oil/soap after removing the rusty leaves should also help to smother the spores and any insect eggs waiting for "spring" growth....See MoreRose de Rescht but larger blooms?
Comments (13)Vaporvac, I'm not a lover of red roses, never have been. I am trying hard to think outside my box, though, and right now I have two reds (sometimes I think...two reds too many), Firefighter and Dame de Coeur. They are nice roses, but they glare at me (I am tempted to glare back, but for my neighbors), unlike the pink, lavender, yellow, white and apricot blooms that dominate my garden. I much prefer light colored rose blooms because of their clean, elegant, and soothing visual effect, and also because of how they glow at dusk, and sparkle at sunrise. Years ago I maintained an OGR only rose garden in which I grew Rose de Rescht, really a pink/mauve rose for me in my garden, and thereby formed my opinion on it. Moses...See Morenikthegreek
