ALL of my roses are blooming at once!
Below is a pic showing the Cl HT Caroline Testout beginning to bloom - normal for this time of year. What is not normal, if you look way up further on the chimney is Belle Portugaise blooming - it is usually done by late Feb. It has never done this before.
I attribute the later blooming of the early blooming once bloomers to the fact that we had a much colder than normal Feb and March and the first half of April.
Also in this same pic on the lower right hand corner, you can see some blooms of banksie lutea - it still has scattered blooms. Of course, on the left side are some Anna Olivier blooms - it has been blooming for a month already. All of the roses in my garden (except a bush of Vielchenblau in the shade - it is covered in buds, but only one has opened so far) are blooming at once! Passers by are coming down my driveway, and even my non-gardening niece and nephew, who came by with their kids, spent 30 minutes wandering around the garden and taking pictures.

Comments (13)Probably fall is not the time to apply granules. I am not an expert on this, but I believe the recommendation is to apply granules at bud-break in spring. The midge pupa overwinter in the soil in cocoons. Only a small percentage survive winter and emerge as winged adults, which fly up to lay eggs on the new shoots. These hatch into tiny maggots which do the damage. There are several generations per season, each larger than the previous. After feeding for a couple of weeks, the maggots drop off to pupate in the soil, at which time they are vulnerable to insecticide in the soil. You can also spray the top growth to catch the active larvae. Recommended chemicals are imidacloprid for the soil and cyfluthrin for the spray. These names appear in the fine-print active ingredients, regardless of brand names. "Merit" is a brand name for imidacloprid....See Moreonce blooming roses
