Two-fold question: Help in Identifying Insect Plus Rose!
Comments (7)I've never actually been certain whether thrips truly prefer pale colored roses, or whether it's simply that their feeding damage is much more obvious on such roses (as it understandably would be), but certainly among rose enthusiasts it's widely accepted that thrips seem to prefer feeding upon the pale roses. If I recall correctly (not certain of that) in commercial flower growing greenhouses when they want to check for the presence of thrips the growers will set out yellow cardboard rectangles coated in a sticky substance. That way they can track over time how many thrips get stuck to the rectangle, and make an estimate of how heavy the greenhouse's thrips infestation is. If the grower is practicing "integrated pest management" that sort of information is important, because the grower will only apply pesticide once the infestation in the greenhouse is heavy enough to economically justify the application....See MorePlease help id two roses
Comments (14)I'm wondering about St. Patrick for your yellow & Mirandy for your red/pink/magenta. These are more modern roses (as opposed to OGRs) so when looking to ID roses it can be helpful to run through possibilities of roses that are/were popularly in commerce first. The form/foliage of yellow look like a match for Peace grown during cold overcast weather before increasing sunshine starts bringing out the pink edges. (Peace is usually the most common yellow based HT you'll find...) Another possibility could be Elina, but don't remember that foliage and your yellow looks more richly colored. (But again local growing conditions can impact color, mature bush size etc.) I grew Mirandy years ago & even though its commonly referred to as a fragrant red rose, mine always showed more pink/magenta. I think it did have that occasional white striped petal, but that is a trait I have seen crop up on several fragrant red and mauve/purple roses I've grown so I wouldn't point to that particular characteristic when looking for your ID. I'll try to link pics to St Patrick on helpmefind--the best resource for searching for roses. Hope that helps! Here is a link that might be useful: St Patrick...See MoreNeed help IDing two roses

Comments (4)Were these bagged bare roots or potted roses? The bagged ones are notorious for being mislabeled and the potted ones at places like Lowes are notorious for being just labeled by color instead of with the true name. Can you get a more color accurate photo of the first one? That would help a lot. The second one might be Queen Elizabeth....See MoreRockridge Rose
