David Austin Eden Rose -Hot, Humid Central FL?
Comments (9)Sorry I don't know about Eden, but I can tell you that Teasing Georgia does well for me in full Florida sun. It took 3 years to become established, and is now gorgeous. It gets some black spot but quickly recovers, and the blooms are big, frequent and sturdy. Gertrude Jekyll is also doing well even though it's in too much shade. "Gertie" has such a delicious fragrance that I have to keep her. Both TG and "Gertie" are grafted on Fortuniana. I'm not buying any more grafted roses, ever, so when my own-root Austins have been around for awhile, I'll post & let you know how they are doing. Was your Glamis Castle own-root? Mine doesn't look very healthy right now, and it's not responding well to nutritional supplements as are my other roses. If you like the way Austins look, you will probably appreciate OGR Mrs. B.R.Cant. Wonderful color, formally arranged petals, very vigorous grower down here. happy roses!

Comments (45)Okay, before I continue, Roseguy you MUST post some pics of your rose garden here. 1000 ROSES!?!?!?!?! Wow, and all in Florida. Please share. Rachel, based on what I know about the soil in Central Florida and what I know about the weather pattern up there, I would suggest you plan out what you want in detail and begin section by section. Never get rid of a rose. Let that thing die on its own before you toss it. I've had roses with dieback coming up and down the stem and seen it make it with some TLC, so never give up. Shoot, I have a Crescendo that I got bareroot from Breck's with massive crown gall that I know will eventually succumb but I can't get myself to give up completely! Here's what I'd do (for what's it's worth, lol): 1.) Plan out your yard. Use MS Publisher or get a cheap poster board and plot out where you want all your roses to go. Make sure to take into account the rose's habit as well as the color scheme that you're going for. With all that space you have, you can afford to space out your roses using the three foot rule. Also, make sure to place your roses in the sunniest spots of your land, no use putting them next to root greedy trees when they will already have a hard time establishing a good root system. 2.) Create beds for your roses. I have installed my beds using Castle Rock pavers. I purchase them a little every weekend and now I have great big beds that look good. Once the pavers are in place dig out the existing soil down one to two feet. The task is arduous, but if done in sections it will seem doable. Call C&C Peat or The Bushel Stop and have them deliver several yards of their potting soil to fill in your beds. 3.) Plant your roses one section at a time. Remember to cut them back a bit and to place the weaker/smaller bushes to the outer edges of your beds to give them plenty of room and sun to grow. 4.) Apply mulch and possibly ground cover to your beds. 5.) Get into the habit of mixing in fertilizer onto your roses. I like to create a tea using alfalfa pellets, fish emulsion, and seaweed extract. Occasionally, apply a water soluble fertilizer like miracle grow in cooler weather. Remember, during the June to August your job is to maintain your rose's existing leaves and not to grow it further, so fertilize during the cooler months. 6.) Develop a spray program that works for you. You have purchased quite an arsenal, but there's no point using something that is not needed. For Florida gardeners, the go-to chemicals are Banner Maxx/Honor Guard, Mancozeb, and Conserve SC. Cleary, Subdue Maxx, and Alliette are other great chemicals that can be applied between applications of the aforementioned spray program so your pests don't develop an immunity to any of the medicines. Spray every seven to fourteen days as needed. Spraying too frequently may actually hurt your plants. 7.) Come here for help. Years ago I found this site (then under a different incarnation that has undergone two major changes over the years) and I found the answers to questions I didn't even know to ask. Know that you are among friends that share you passion for roses. 8.) Understand that the past five months have been atypical. When the nursery that produces the roses I buy tell me that they have experienced the same problems that I have had due to difficult weather conditions, I relax at the thought that little ole me, with my limited resources, am not alone in the problems. With any luck, the recent weather pattern will usher new healthy growth and turn the tide that has brought so much hardship to our rose collections. Good luck! -Adrian....See MoreEden in humid hot blackspot area
Comments (55)@Carla English , There are many ways to treat/prevent BS. Are you in south with humidity all growing season or North East-NY or NJ or other state w/ some humidity only oart of growing season? Makes a difference how to treat it best oer your location. How old is Pretty n Pink rose? Climbers bloom more in 3rd year if in âfull sunâ6-10 hrs,â Edens can have hundreds of blooms 3rd year!!! First year maybe few blooms, second year maybe 20-30 blooms. Rebloom more on 3rd year. I have 2 Edens. One in 10+ hrs sun-hundreds blooms 3rd year. 2nd Eden in less sun-got BSâĶ. May move to sunnier spot. They are my favorite blooms of all my rosesâĶâĶJune they put on the biggest display blooming all monthâĶ then few blooms off/on all summer. So soectacular June-I wouldnt miss it for the world! In NY Fingerlakes area, I have humidity/tons rain,, end of summer mainly Aug-Sept & if I remove lower leaves near ground about 6â up stem, it sonetimes avoids getting BS started. Also, I plant roses far apart from touching other roses or plants so air can circulate-jeep leaves dry, so BS wont get started. Keep them prumed if touch any other plants. Water on ground roots, not leaves of roses. Try keep leaves dry. Plant roses in sunniest spots if property 6hrs and more sunlight. Shady roses can get BS. Spray if BS starts regularly. It can stunt or stop BS altogether. You will loose less leaves/rose stays healthier. American Tose Society suggests most effect sprays on leaves.. Make sure you plant roses in soil that drains well. If soil is soggy wet-dig up soil & replace with areating healthy soil that drains well. Clay really retains water-soaking rose toots-causing BS. Improve clay soil by adding Espoma or organic soils/compost. If one rose gets BS it can spread to other roses anywhereâĶ Nip it first signsâĶ. try little of all above ideas and may orevent it spreading. Sonetimes it not the rose but the way youâre caring for it. Hope these ideas help with your Eden Pretty n.Pink rose Kordes roses & I have a list of roses that do well in humidity if you need ideas. MY EDEN, 2022, 3rd year, beginning of June blooms. 2022, 2nd year favorite blooms:...See MoreOutsidePlaying
