bad defoliation due to rose slug - how to help stressed rose
Comments (4)Are these new plants? Or established? If they are established plants I would make an educated guess at giving them a nitrogen boost to help them recover their lost foliage quicker. The rose slugs are indeed grubs...but not caterpillars. As such, applications of something like bT would not be effective. Contact insecticides are supposed to work against them, but they work against the good guys, too, including pollinators. I am battling them, but they are not overwhelming. My plan is to get some good host plants going and introduce biological controls like predatory bugs. Hopefully the garden will find an equilibrium....See MoreClimbing Roses lose leaves after 1st bloom
Comments (4)Are you sure you aren't growing Dr. Huey? Sound like it. Is it a deep red rose? Blooms once, then defoliates. If so, probably your original rose died off one winter, so rootstock took over. Dr. Huey is a common rootstock, but most people don't want it as a plant in their garden--for the reasons stated above.

Comments (12)Yes, this can be a very good rose (although I don't care for petals which reflex to points - the so-called classical rose shape). A very stiff thing which is, unsurprisingly, well suited for a pillar. Talking of stiff, the Jasmina which stands, unsupported and unruly, has just burst into an absolutely massive autumn flush which far outstrips the puny summer cycle - the dire chill and rain which set us all back a month had a part to play in the summer failure but it is making up for it now. I will have to hack it to the ground though, as it has become a vicious tangle of chaotic canes, not amenable to tying in or training anywhere. The possibility of the entire edifice coming down in an East Anglian blow is now very high indeed. Trachelospermum is a spindly little thing in our climate (I also grow various solanums which have long, but light branches and have possibilities with a sturdy rose...but probs not for you, Nik. Plumbago is a strictly greenhouse plant. I like to get double value out of my plants but mainly because of diminished space - probably not so pressing now....See MoreFACTORS AFFECTING THE ROOTING OF CUTTINGS OF ONCE-BLOOMING ROSES
Comments (15)Apologies for the terse comments, but last night I was having serious problems with the Orange Screen of Death.It was raining outside, and I am supposed to be able to fix things like that. Otherwise, why do cats live with mere humans? Most of our garden we grew from cuttings. I haven't found gallicas or damasks to be particularly difficult, but we never got the hang of albas. When I was a kid, my grandmother taught me how to root roses in flower beds under glass jars. Roses rooted that way, but often died off the first winter. At that time, it didn't bother me since I had no place to put new roses, and if they died it meant I could reuse that space again. Many decades later, when growing the roses on became the goal, we moved inside to root roses under lights in the basement. It gave us more control over the environment, we didn't have to fight squirrels, didn't have to figure out the proper exposure at a house where the entire east side is driveway, and didn't have to scrounge the right size glass jars. BTW, the last is non-trivial. So June cuttings went inside baggies under lights, rooted usually sometime in early August, went outside for a bit in September, then spent their first winter under lights back in the basement. IME, the hardest thing about growing cuttings is getting them up to size, not getting them to root. So I have little patience with mail order nurseries that sell small rooted cuttings. I can usually do that myself. Our one attempt at hardwood cuttings was trying a different approach to rooting albas. This isn't a winter method, but late to mid-fall. Around here, I believe we stuck the cuttings before Thanksgiving. We ended up with about 30 billion Jacques Cartiers and no albas. There are other propagation techniques that are more often used on other woody plants than roses. Various forms of air layering, and ground layering for example. If you want to try with something easy to build confidence, try multlflora types....See MoreVicissitudezz
