To respond to the intent of your question, urine is concentrated and can affect the health of the rose in the long run. I haven't run into this problem myself, but the answer to this and many other types of overfertilization of roses is to flush the rose with water and not add any other fertilizers. You already took a good step to block off the rose from further damage. You can use some of those pet repellent sprays too to make the rose smell less appealing to your dog.

Sympathies and odds are it'll recover though it might lose the canes that are affected for now.

Some time ago, we had a problem with Rose forum members posting pictures of dogs peeing on roses. I, for one, do not want to see this stuff.

I am happy to see that the measures Houzz adopted to prevent these photos from appearing on this forum are effective.

Thank you Houzz.

I had the same issue with my dang dog peeing on poor Ingrid Bergman. why her I have no idea

Some canes turned brown and the leaves turned crispy and fell off.

I had some 3 ft. decorative fence pieces that I placed around it far enough out to keep him from getting close.

And. with the protection Ingrid made a fabulous comeback.

Flush with water ...And try to keep dog from peeing on it...

Simple if you do not want to see a certain pic close your eyes...lol..whine, whine, whine, over stupid stuff!

Yes, Jim, you are right.

Thank you for your helpful responses - minus one. I had no intention of posting my dog actually lifting his leg - only of the plant to show it’s damage. I cut off a few damaged limbs and have been watering it. I will flush it out more tomorrow. We’ve not had much rain lately so it may be that the effects are more potent.

See the brown branch? That’s the one I cut. I do hope it will recover. It is planted in an area that receives harsh afternoon sun, which I’m sure does not help matters.

Maybe a little decorative fence around could keep him away too? My mom had a rose she loved killed by the dog this year . Ugh! Seems like when they get fixated on a plant that’s it . They don’t stop til it dies . I hope your little earth angel recovers !

It was a joke and a reference to the fact that who's will not let people post pictures sometimes. It was not directed at the Opie but at whose. Excuse me because of whose I have to use voice recognition so it sounds like I don't know how to spell or speak.

Translation: "It was a joke and a reference to the fact that Houzz will not let people post pictures sometimes. It was not directed at the OP but at Houzz."

Hope that helps!

(Was it a joke? I hope so, otherwise it was kind of a bizarre comment.)

Thanks again! I am going to flush it several times, block the dog from it, and cross my fingers!

I agree with a little decorative fence. Place it out a ways, so if the dog still pees on it, it wont actually reach the rose. When we had a small city lot we had a dog that loved to pee on plants. We got a large 'cone' like those the city road construction workers use in the streets and trained the dog to pee on that. We put it away from the house aways lol. It sounds gross but you can always spray it off with the hose when out watering plants. After awhile our dog couldnt wait to go pee on his cone lol. Give him a treat and lots of love, everytime he uses the cone.

Yep that is exactly how poor Ingrid Bergman looked but honestly washing it down giving it some time and keeping the fence far enough back that the dog cant get close. y Ingrid Bergman is made a lovely come back and it looks wonderful you would never know that there was any damage so just keep the dog away

If your dog is going in the same place he is smelling his own scent.... what you need to do is keep washing the plant off, as well as keeping the pet away from that area until his scent is completely gone.... the problem is if his urine is hurting the rose it will probably hurt whatever he goes on. There is a product at Drs. Fosters called Dr. Foster Extra Strength Lawn Guard that is a natural ingredient that binds the ammonia together so it isn't as harmful to the plants.

Since your plant is still small you could place it in a better spot, it would,t hurt it.

Thank you for the translation, Comtesse! Yes, it was a reference to the fact that Houzz will not let people post pics at times and they will also censure posts for language etc. Rifis just put those two things together. He/she has an extremely well developed sense of humor that often goes over my head and apprently everyone else's, but when I get it is hilarious. At least I can type on my laptop. Houzz erases everything I type on my phone so VR only and no edits!

Thank you guys! Here is my temporary setup since we’re about to leave for a week. Lol The culprit is a 90lb maremma shepherd that can certainly get around it except he’s lazy and smart. I corrected him last night as he was about to lift his leg and I hope he gets the idea.

Bob so nice to see you here!! I would consider moving it, but I have such limited spaces with good sun that I have nowhere to move it. As it is, I have two more coming (Jude the Obscure), and I may need to dig something up to fit them in. ;)

Laura, are you start grafting and rooting, doing exchanges like you are doing citrus. You sure has help me in the citrus forum. Being one of my small group, yes that made me happy.

I would love to know what I'm looking at Bob?! Those are beautiful plants and a gorgeous Rose. Did you strike that yourself or did you buy it?

Yes Bob! That is a beautiful rose! With your grafting ability, you can have as many roses as you have citrus. I’ve definitely thought of grafting roses too but I don’t have much space and roses grow large. I was on the citrus forum this morning - it feels like home :). I have a couple of citrus grafts that are growing quickly.

I’m leaving for the beach tomorrow and may try to take some pictures of my trees to share. My roses are still small except for a big one I found really cheap at Home Depot - Angel Face. Wow the scent is incredible. I cut some for a small bouquet and can smell the if I just walk by. But hey, I also harvested a mandarin and orange today that my daughter promptly gobbled up.

I have a lot to learn about roses and especially climbers and how to train them. I have three climbers that are small - Eden, Impressionist, and a pink and highly rated one whose name I forget right now but starts with a Z...

Bob, is that rose in a container?

Zephirine Drew Han. That last part was phonetic.

That’s it! Thank you! I’ve still not seen flowers - only got them in the ground a month ago.

Yes, the two plants I have are in containers for now. The other one Was in the ground but deer got them several times this last spring, dug him out and potted what was left, didn’t thought it was going to make it but it’s doing great again, that one I have to propagate for sure, have one cutting started and it’s doing great. Both are strong smelling ones, I mean strong. Both plants were bought Several years ago. Might still have the tags.

That is so pretty! Does it have another name?

Beautiful Bob! That is what I’m looking for in a rose - scent. I love roses that smell good!
