Teasing Georgia...Mine's APRICOT????
Comments (14)Great to know it's not so prone to black spot..thanks so much for the responses!! I haven't seen any yet. I do not know much about canker so I will have to educate myself and watch carefully. I will wait and see about the canes breaking off....I will try to post a picture of the larger bush as it's really full of blooms right now and so far nothing seems to be eating it. It IS an octopus like someone said though....I could use advice on how to train it to the arbor however. Should I start now tying the canes to the right where the arbor is? Seems my Scent From Above since I tied the laterals horizontally hasn't had any blooms on those yet..the main cane is blooming well though. Keep thinking I've done something wrong! The pics are lovely and my roses aren't quite that yellow tint yet but there does seem to be some. In a way I think I will love this rose...yellow seems to be attracting the beetles. So far I've only seen a beetle on the Scent F A and I watch daily. Course they are on the Wisteria....that stuff is a feast to them so I'm thankful for it. It's almost impossible to kill!!! Anyway...thanks so much for your pics...it's so good to know yours are large and thriving and gives me hope!! I also need to know exactly what a "first flush" is. If you have only one bud that opens and there are no others is that considered a first flush? Should you then fertilize that bush after cutting the bud off? Also..if there are many buds I take it you wait until those open before fertilizing? Some have many and others of course don't. I should have fertilized my miniatures last week but I waited as the heat was sooo intense. I cut a few blooms off them that were spent and one off my Iceburg but haven't fertilized as was waiting for this break in the weather. I didn't want to burn anything. Best to fertilize late in the afternoon I take it? After I fertilize...when should I then use epsom salts, fish emulsion, and bone meal along the way? I have to write down these schedules per bush as I have 14!!! Wow...I may have bitten off more than I can chew!! THANKS in advance....everyone here has "saved the day" for me!!! :))))...See MoreTeasing Georgia
Comments (13)How pretty, Mine is new this year too. The bud (yes only one so far) looked just like your's when it started to open. My Tamora and Heritage also start to open like that one. Very pretty! I know it's z5 but hoping it makes the winter, if I baby it. I didn't get a picture of it, it started to open then I left for a few days and the rain did it in and never finished opening. :( Here is a picture of Tamora, Just starting to open. I thought the same thing the first time they started to bloom, I even went to the Austin web site to look for pictures of buds, there are some but they were hard to find.

Comments (6)I'm in zone 5 (so quite a bit colder than you!) but my 5yr old own root Teasing Georgia this spring it is probably 7/8ft tall x 3ft wide. That is after I took off about 2ft of winter dieback. I expect it to be larger by the end of the summer. It is grown on an arbor and has done spectacular! I couldn't be happier with this rose. The flowers are fairly large, not huge but not small either. Once it starts blooming I can post a photo if you like. I got mine bareroot from DA....See MoreSome English roses
Comments (23)Lovely pictures, Carol!! For me, Radio Times gets a bit of blackspot each season, but it doesn't defoliate...just looks a bit ugly. But don't we all occasionally? :) It's a little slow to repeat, but I do generally get three flushes, with the last one occurring very late in the summer and producing small, tightly quartered blooms of great beauty. They look like so different from the other blooms... Something more akin to Jacques Cartier but with a deeper color and fruitier scent. I wish I had photos... They always end up appearing just before a hard frost, so I gather them up and bring them indoors to enjoy. To round out this high praise, I should say, I do dislike the flush that occurs in the heat of summer - the blooms are shapeless and the colors a little too bright for my taste....See MoreSara-Ann Z6B OK
