I am going to Rose Study Day AT RU on Fri!
Comments (10)Sally, Yes it's a project of the Asheville Blue Ridge Rose Society. (And DH and I are members though we don't make it to that many meetings.) When you go out Merriman Ave, turn right just before Panera Bread and drive into the Red Cross center (on your right, the south side of the road). The roses are along the fence and line both sides of the eastern parking lot. (Their rose exhbition will be June 7 and 8 out at the Western NC Arboreteum. I'll be speaking at 1 on Saturday and participating in a panel discussion at 3, if I don't get to meet you before then. We usually bring lots of flowers over because mine are a couple of weeks ahead of Asheville's.) Up the street there's another rose garden maintained by the city. I can find it, but I don't know street names....See Morehow to get roses from RU

Comments (6)Dublinbay, I have not repotted the 1 gallon own root roses yet. I was going to let those plants go through the same process of acclimating to the temperature first. I recently received bands and potted them into 1 gallon pots. All have been placed on the covered patio, and at night, I place them in an area on the covered patio where they receive early morning sun, and then they are moved near the house, but still under the covered patio, in an area that is shaded all day;hoping that area is not as hot. I hope that giving the plants about 3.5 hours of morning sun will be sufficient but also not too extreme for them at this point? Thus far the plants that are a little over a week old appear to be growing. Because of the heat, I cannot plant them in the soil until mid-October. I check the soil with my finger for moisture about 3 x per day. I have planted the bands in potting soil; but it does not have fertilizers added like Miracle Gro. I was thinking of adding a very weak fish emulsion once a week during watering to add back some nutrients, but I am not sure at this point. This is my first "real" experience with bands and 1 gallon own root plants so I am really babying my new babies:) I have 15 that I am caring for or as you wrote " giving them love" :) Lynn...See MoreRU Sale: Roses best suited for WA
Comments (6)Hello Lance, Thank you for your recommendations! The Roses Unlimited sale list is quite exhaustive (for a newbie like me). I have a few more questions about the roses: 1. Can you please suggest specific roses (from the RU sale list) that have strong disease resistance and hardiness for our climate. I understand that the term "disease resistance" does not imply that the plant will not susceptible to diseases. Many of our roses battled Blackspot disease in late spring. After a dose of spraying with organic fungicide, they have recovered well. Malvern Hills is the only rose that is not as healthy as others. 2. The new roses will need to be in containers until next spring. Most of the poor things in our "garden" are still in containers but going strong (Shoutout to Ashdown Roses - Thank you)! Are there specific roses that may be better in handling this challenge? 3. Finally (in this post), can you please suggest roses that display continuous bloom? Thank you in advance for your kind help.
