Rose Rosette vs Roundup - 1 yr later ? what to do
Comments (20)Michaelg, my weed and feed question was a follow up to your 40 years of Round-Up use statement. I cannot remember when a significant number of gardeners started using Round-Up nor when a significant number of homeowners started using Weed and Feed type products. I was hopeing that since you knew about Round-Up use you also knew about Weed and Feed use (time wise). It seems that most people have at most a few cases a year. Why did you lose so many roses? Have you ever posted an in detail explanation of what you observed, when, and what steps you took, when? I know that you stated that you used Round-Up once on the roses. Did you use Round-up on anything else? Did you observe or ask the neighbors, whether they were using Round-Up? Did you use a magnifying glass and observe the mites? Also, how did you rule things such as a herbicide contaminated mulch batch. The last may sound far fetched but I have posted news articles about it happening and I did have bad mulch happen to me one season (I had posted it here when it happened. I immediately removed the mulch and watered heavily.) Back to your statement: "So I think it is wise to assume that fat, thorny overgrowth is RRD." H.Kuska comment. I still would like to see pictures of what you mean. Earlier I posed that Round-Up could result in "Particulary, please notice they include: "Strange looking, thickened growth, often dark red or purple in color"." It would appear that "thorny" is the only property that could not be caused by Round-Up in your model. On my web page I state the following: "I am hesitant to include the "excessive growth of thorns" rule as it may only apply to exclude damage from certain types of herbicides and not others with different modes of action. Also. often healthy young growth can have closely spaced needle like thorns which are not present in older canes. The opposite (no thorns, no RRD) is also NOT a dependable diagnostic that the cause is not RRV. Ann Peck (see E-book link at the bottom of this article) points out: "Hyper thorniness is not a dependable indication of RRD, it does alert rosarians to be vigilant. It appears on some HTs, but sick OGRs and roses related to 'R. multiflora' may have thorns no denser than ususal. Further confusing diagnoses, many classes of old garden roses are extremely thorny and no one could look at a sick rugosa, damask, or spinossissima and declare it�s hyper thorniness to be aberrant. Likewise basal breaks on some healthy HTs appear thornier closer to the bud union, but become less thorny with increasing healthy growth. This year, I have also seen a characteristic of some roses from cold hardy breeding programs to have denser thorns near the base; these roses have a built in rodent deterrent that I had not noticed until a question from New Brunswick about the possibility of RRD in that part of Canada.""...See Moremystery pink rose still no ID 5 years later...
Comments (7)Out of the ones you are considering for possible IDs, I grow Radiance, Mrs. Wakefield-Christie Miller, Lady Alice Stanley, and La France. I don't think your rose is any of these ... I think it's the gold tinge to the bottom of the petals of your rose is a good clue. Neither Mrs. WC Miller or Lady Alice have this ... and their petal reverses are distinctly darker than the fronts. Your photos do show a rose with similarities to La France, but that tinge of gold is getting me again. I can't give you an answer right now, but we may be able to get closer to solving your mystery when my roses start to bloom. You're in Maryland, just a short drive from here ... when summer comes, let's arrange a visit if you'd like to do some comparisons in person. Connie...See MorePrune apple tree to grow laterally
Comments (2)I don't believe the branches would root. They would be up side down. A picture would help, but if I understand your description, I would cut the horizontal central leader leaving one sprout to shape into the new tree. You could leave multiple leaders, but the root could not support one tree just a bit ago. I suspect two leaders would make such a tre very lopsided. It is common for dwarf rootstocks to tip over. With an established root base the new shoot will really be vigorous. Be sure it is from above the graft so you get the correct cultivar and not just poor rootstock apples. I'd also plant an additional tree, assuming the tree described will not be around forever.

Comments (6)Nope ... because the hard pruning would wreck the tree's structure, and on top of the move to outdoors and transplanting the growth would have a severe setback. Or they would just die on you. If you want BIG TREES NOW after you build, spend the money in 24 or 36-inch boxed ones and have them transplanted in by professionals. Planting a nicely rooted 15-gallon jacaranda and taking good care of it after planting would work best for the least amount of money. Minimal transplant shock....See Morejerijen
