What do you do with the roses you get rid of?
Comments (14)For the most part I prune them, dig them up leaving as much of a "root ball" as I can and "package" them up with a note, if I know the variety, some sure start planting fertilizer and I put them on my curb with a FREE sign. I've always had takers. My best taker turned out to be a friend who knew a family that lost their mother and they were planting a memorial garden for her. Since then, I always give them first chance before I put them out on the curb. I've done this with some calla lilies that I put out with the caveat at how invasive they can become so I didn't have to feel bad if they took over. They knew what they were getting. I've had some monster roses from the previous owner that in order to get them out I had to cut down to the ground and dig out but that is the price I had to pay to get roses in the ground that I picked....See MoreHow do you get the identity of a rose
Comments (3)Hi, Dave. I give an hour talk on how to do exactly what you need, so this is a really short explanation. 1) If the owner is willing to allow you to bring someone with you, call up your local rose society and ask for the help of a consulting rosarian. That person may recognize the rose easily. 2) Take pictures of the bloom, the mother plant, the house and the neighborhood. Take picture of the foliage and the canes with their prickles. If it blooms in clusters, take a shot of the whole cluster. Try to get as much specific information about the rose from the owner: when she moved in (the year) and how she knows the rose had been there long before. Try to get a time frame. Post good digital picture online in this forum and on HelpMeFnd.com and ask for help with the identity. 3) Take cuttings. The best time is either early summer after bloom is finished. Select small stems about the thickness of a lamp cord that have already flowered. Remove the blooms before rooting. 4) Try to grow more than one plant: one for your garden, one for knowledgeable rosarians. When your plant is thriving but not too big and in bloom, carry the pot to any good local rose garden or rose nursery to try to match it to existing plants. 5) After you know an approximate time frame for this rose, we can look at what roses match its approximate planting date (which excludes tens of thousands of subsequent roses) and try to fine what was being sold around that time.

Comments (23)This is an interesting thread. I planted about 500 seeds this fall in the pasture fenceline and along ditches where there are easements and i didn't want to plant nice, paid-for roses. I figured if they grow at all and look better and maybe occupy space where a weed can't grow, I'd be happy. I just hope they don't turn out too freakish looking, as i am too lazy to pull many roses up, and they'll be there until the next people move in and kill them,lol. OTOH, if there is a potential AARS winner, the world will never know, so that might be kind of sad. I figured the seeds would be a lot easier than cuttings. It did cross my mind that if there are 5,000 cultivars commercially available, and i can only really get excited about maybe 500, and have about 275 already, then my odds weren't too good of getting anything that unusual,lol. I'm not sure though how i can deal with a lot of freaky, disfigured, actually ugly roses, i never thought of that. Certainly is food for thought....See More
