One of my new David Austin roses has RMV. What should I do?
Comments (85)"Propagation: Rosa Damascena is propagated through one year old stem cuttings. It can also be propagated through the divisions of old plant, lateral sprouts with roots and seeds. Stem cuttings are collected at the time of pruning in mid October to end of December; 20 cm long, 0.75-1.50 cm thick cuttings are planted in nursery; 2/3 of the stem length is inserted into soil. IB A @ 200-250 ppm is given to induce rooting. These cuttings are ready after one year for transplanting into main field." http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.2478/V10133-010-0032-4 ---------------------------------------------- " The cultivars and ecotype of Rosa damascena Mill. have been grown by using cutting or two old-suckers for many years" "Stem cuttings are collected at the time of pruning in mid October to end of December; 20 cm long, 0.75-1.50 cm thick cuttings are planted in nursery; 2/3 of the stem length is inserted into soil.

Comments (32)Two years ago I had a rose, "The Pilgrim" in an iris bed that was so overgrown by grass I dug the entire bed up, and found "The Pilgrim" where it had been hiding for about the pat 7-8 years having stopped blooming and engulfed by grasses. I potted it up, and by now it was own root. I gave it to my cousin this weekend, and it was growing nicely in a two gallon pot with several buds that will bloom in the next week or so. I believe I planted it circa 1994 or 1995. I have Graham Thomas and Winchester Cathedral planted circa 1996 or 1997, and these roses have had regular maintenance and care, and grow and bloom very well indeed. In fact Winchester Cathedral sported, and half of the bush has reverted to Mary Rose, so it is one bush that is half pink, and half white. I have "The Prince" I planted circa 2000 or 2001 that is as vigorous, as it was in its second and third years. As for non-David Austin Roses, I have Queen Elizabeth which 3-years ago was losing some of its shine, but I redoubled my efforts with Mills Magic Rose Mix, and cleaning beneath the plant, weeding, and mulching, and it is back to its old self. I think some of the fault is with our care, and some years we are on vacation when it rains, or don't have time to weed, and then things start to slip and won't come back unless we do something to make them come back....See MoreBest David Austin’s?
Comments (64)Since this is a new rose bed that I started last year, do you think I should focus on only purchasing the bigger bushes that will go in the back (I want a full lush David Austin, English garden look) unless I see something I can’t resist, or just buy what I love and place smaller in front and hope I’ve left space accordingly? I hate to have to move them around. Also, regarding companion planting, do I wait till I get most of my roses in place? Although those can be easily moved in winter...See MoreBeginner: Do cuttings from grafted roses (David Austin) do well?
Comments (7)Sebwin, Part of the difference between how well a grafted rose does as compared to an own root rose of the same variety, depends on your growing zone. In colder zones the extra boost of vigor and winter survivability a good rootstock gives the top graft bestows many grafted roses an edge. This is seen very dramatically with miniature roses, which are not usually available commercially as grafted bushes. Almost all miniature roses are sold own root, but when grafted they grow unbelievably vigorously, considerably larger, and with far more abundant flowers than own root minis produce. There are plenty of roses that grow very well own root in northern climes, but my experience has taught me, when grafted, a rose will do better up north than an own root. I have no experience growing roses in warm zones, but I believe the own roots do very well there, and when grafted may turn into monster roses. Moses...See MoreVaporvac Z6-OhioRiverValley
