ARS Illinois/Indiana fall convention and rose show 9/18
Comments (0)If anyone is interested in attending a rose show, there'll be one in Park Forest, Ill on Sept 18. The discounted registration fee has been extended to Sept. 8. Many top exhibitors from Indiana and Illinois will be showing their award winning roses. Meet a few of your Rose Forum friends including me. The Park Forest Art Fair will be held that day at the same location. Come see lots of roses and visit the art fair.

Comments (10)I don't have a feel for what Iowa winters are like, so I'll simply relate my experiences. Here, in an area with very unstable winters with a fair amount of all known forms of precipitation, putting anything around a rose for 'winter protection' is a bad idea. You are playing the odds that we will get significant cold without snow (a rare occurance) versus the odds that there will be a significant warm spell with a lot of moisture (something that happens at least once every winter). Wet winter protection kills. In a former life, on the very, very eastern edge of what my DH calls The Flat, winters were cold, but dry. The Alberta Clippers had dropped all their moisture hundreds of miles before they ever got to us, and we were south of the Erie snowbelt. There winter protection did nothing, as far as I could tell. If I protected them, the roses died back. If I didn't protect them, the roses died back. The winter protection wasn't an obvious hindrance, like it is here, but it also wasn't worth the effort. That has been the general consensus here, also. There have been a fair number of people in the Midwest who routinely winterized roses, but then had a winter when for various reasons, they couldn't. To their surprise, the roses did just the same as they always had. So if you want larger roses in the spring, plant hardier types. That's really all you can do. If you have dry falls, you can try cutting back on the watering in fall. A common problem with marginally hardy modern roses is that they are much quicker to go dormant from drought than from cold. So here, where fall is what passes for our rainy season, it can be very, very hard to get modern roses to shut down....See MoreColorado August roses aka the ones the beetles haven't eaten
Comments (40)Amiga Mia (8/18) and Parade Day (5/19) are looking delightful. Iceberg (6/17) is doing it's usual fantastic blooming. Livin Easy (6/20) has been a good surprise to always bloom so much through the summer. Dainty Bess (8/18) keeps blooming even though it's blooms don't last long due to the beetles. Lady in Red (4/19) and Above All (6/20) blooms age well. Winnipeg Parks (7/19) is one of my most continuous bloomers. Candy Land (5/20) is also one of my most continuous bloomers. It is amazing how far the rose garden has come in 5 years. I'm delighted with how it has turned out....See Moremmmm12COzone5
