Comments (9)The University of Illinois Extension says to use 12-12-12 or osmocote. http://urbanext.illinois.edu/roses/water.cfm For species roses, a spring application of general-purpose fertilizer is usually adequate for the season. General-purpose fertilizers such as 10-10-10 or 12-12-12 are used at about one-half to one cup per plant. All other roses benefit from a second application about June 15 or at the end of the spring bloom period. For continuous-flowering or repeat-blooming roses, a third application in mid-July is suggested. No fertilizer should be applied after August 15 so as not to encourage soft, succulent growth that could be easily winter-damaged. Roses can be fall fertilized after the plants have gone dormant. Applying fertilizer at this time will not encourage growth but will be available as the plants start to grow in the spring. Also by using a fertilizer high in potassium winter hardiness tends to be increased. Another fertilizer option is to use a timed or controlled release fertilizer (osmocote fertilizer pictured at right). These are dry, encapsulated fertilizers that release their nutrients slowly over the season, completing their work in 4, 6, or 8 months depending on the formulation. Nutrient release is dependent on the soil moisture and temperature. These materials are generally applied in May, using about 1/2 cup per plant.

Comments (27)Hi Nanadoll, Chicago is on the same parallel as New York and both are on the same parallel as Barcelona Spain. The difference in the zone is the winter low temperature-not the day length or light intensity.Roses like places where its cool all summer-like England. I used to think that roses liked hot spots, and some do, but now I've read that cool is best. In some towns nearby, the roses look great in the summer because the asphalt heat reduces humidity. That is why they have no fungus. The opposite also works- lots of cool morning sun(which dries off the dew) and protection from heat. I have many of my roses in pots that I store in the basement through winter. I can lug them around here and there to capture more sun or cool them off in the hot part of summer or just find their happy spot before planting. I had some roses in a hot spot and they weren't happy-I moved them to a cooler place and they began to grow. I also tried baking soda this summer for black spot and it seemed to work just as well as the disgusting chemicals(which I never spray enough because I hate them getting on my clothes. Some other varieties that worked well for me in part shade were Sheer Bliss,Autumn Sunset,Kordes Perfecta and Sally Holmes. Mirandy is on the shade list but doesn't look too good now-Ill see next year. Sheer bliss grew like a weed, had no black spot most of the summer until the real hot weather and flushed several times.Sally Holmes has great glossy fungus free foliage-but little scent.It is now shooting up at the base of a tree. Ive noticed under trees where it stays dryer, some plants wont fungus as bad too-as long as they get enough angled light....See MoreDavid Austin Roses - Own Root or Grafted?
Comments (33)The roses they were selling in Canton were the leftovers from the huge Tyler Rose Festival in October. The ones I bought from in front of the Tyler store looked great but they were full price....I guess they lowered them to $15 because I saw them in Canton in November and they were full price. Mine still look great. I havent had any virused ones from DA and I have ordered from them for a number of years. I had a few in full all day sun and this summer did the young ones in but Mary Rose, a large DA I got for $2 a few years back from Teas Nursery in Houston [yes, $2! They made a mistake but honored the price as thats what I was told] It is one of the handful of roses that survived in that bed in this horrible summer we had. I have just sent in my spring order with DA. I decided to not get any own roots as I just wasnt sure enough of how they would perform. Maybe those of you who are trying the own roots from DA will let the forum know how they do. Judith...See MoreDavid Austin or similar looking roses for Toledo, Ohio area, 5A

4 years agoIt IS an impressive sight, but I have to agree with Ingrid. It looks pretty much the same as years past, nothing new in terms of design. As a tribute to David Austin, it makes sense, in that it is a reflection of the years past, but not anything innovative. I also can't help thinking that if you have huge heated greenhouses, wouldn't it be relatively easy to produce a display of roses? I mean as compared to say, blooming cherry trees? As a gold medal winner, I'd think that the display should be a combination of innovative design and horticultural prowess. The best of the best, after all. Thanks for sharing, Malorena, it is still thoroughly enjoyable to see. I was at Chelsea a few years back, a dream trip, and Chelsea didn't disappoint. Every display was more jaw-dropping than the last.
Looking at my past photos, it's hard to believe it was 2012.
