I know you all don't like body bag roses...but.....
Comments (18)I didn't check out the chain stores this year except when someone asked if Midas touch was available. I saw only Granadas at Lowe's some were huge and that rose own root from Chamblee's didnÂt do anything for me although every other rose from this company did well so far; but the weather of last year was awful in every sense so that might contribute to the subzero performance of that rose. Still, I just could not bring myself to buy any of those huge Granadas because I remembered all those roses I had to discard due to RMV. I think I have one bagged rose purchased 10 years ago that has become a stellar performer; two that are OK and I kept two cl. Peace with RMV because DH loves that rose. The others were discarded. I agree with Ann, and with my various ailments plus DH's growing resentments of digging up, discarding and replacing roses, I rather buy a multiflora grafted rose or an own root if the source is good enough than experiment with bagged roses. I do get excited if I see some interesting varieties but then memories of roses from 11, 10 or 9 years ago come alive and I walk away. Trospero is right - the rose itself is usually the least amount one spends on the roses: fertilizers, fungicides, labor (yes, your own) etc. add up. Considering how greedy Paul Neyron is, I somehow doubt that it would do well in a pot. It needs very fertile soil, a lot of water and fertilizer and all that given, it does rebloom even in summer heat for me. Paul Neyron is among those rare HPs that like heat. I love that rose and I hope you got a very good specimen....See MoreThe Body Count....
Comments (48)Well, I'll get to find out this year if fat, woody canes above a graft can produce new green stuff, because I have 4 grafted roses that have zero green. I did cover them with leaves (heavily), but that didn't cut it. This year we had bitter cold for us but only a spell or two of snow that came late. Over a foot! I wish it'd come sooner :( The ones that really worry me are the more unusual (or pretty rare) ownroots. But since they do have roots, they'll all sprout up again, right? Oh, they'd better! Those were still young from Vintage or RU, but they all looked great and big and thick enough going into winter. I protected those better and they still lost everything up top. None of my really established roses had a bit of problem, even the teas. It was the grafts (I don't bury) or the smaller ones that really took a beating. This year I'm taking insurance cuttings and rooting all my favorites, just in case! Oh, yeah, my main water pipe froze solid underground for nearly a week this winter, too. No bursting, though :) May that luck hold out, lol....See MoreHeirloom Body Bag
Comments (28)LOL, I deserved that Harry. Heirloom responds very well to severe pruning. There is usually a couple feet of green cane on her in spring. I always cut her back to a foot tall. Greenhaven, blackspot is not a problem here on healthy plants. We only see it on new or stressed bushes. Powdery mildew is a problem and Heirloom can get a severe case of it. I haven't used fungicide in 4 years but Heirloom would get some pm even when I used the stuff. I wash the underside of foliage twice a week with a hard, fine water spray. She stays clean for us now. Others will have to help you about blackspot. Shame? OK, I was vewy, vewy bad. I see now I should only have posted pics showing a bit of Heirloom. Is that better?...See MoreOSH body bags are not bags
Comments (5)I live in the East Bay and there are three OSH stores that I shop at; two near where I live and one where I work. The closest location to me is in Moraga and was opened the most recently. I would consider it a poor location, but I guess they did their market research to locate there. independently. OSH stores are a lot smaller than Loews or Loews supposedly bought them and say they will be run Home Depot. There customer service Is better....See MoreVaporvac Z6-OhioRiverValley
