A Sport in My Garden
Comments (59)Theoreticaly, you could be right. However, some viruses may induce mutations. Phyllody can be viral or other phytoplasmic infection. Most mutations are degenerative. Not all, but most. Climbing mutations often are degenerative in bloom production compared to their original bush forms. Frequently, they are once flowering and require selection to sort out those which repeat. Cl. Iceberg is an excellent example. When first released, there were several strains of the climbing form, many of which didn't repeat and some which didn't flower much at all. Of course people wanted the more continuous, heavier flowering version and that's what has become the standard in commerce.

Comments (15)Thanks John for the info! :-) You're an angel!! I found this online: http://www.cleveland.com/insideout/index.ssf/2013/05/private_rose_garden_attracts_v.html http://www.combinedroselist.com/freedom-gardens.html They aren't too far from me within 4 hrs driving. I will buy Peter's book "Right Rose, Right Place" tonight. :-) ........I think I have this book for some reason, I have collected a lot of rose books this year, but haven't had chance to read them....... Update: I found the book on my bookshelf! :-)...See MoreTeasing Georgia, a beautiful healthy rose in my garden
Comments (71)I have two teasing Georgia’s - one on either side of my long driveway. of course I planted them too close and they will probably start to spill over onto it in a couple of weeks. Is Teasing Georgia a good candidate for pegging? The canes seem pliable enough for me to fold them in and away from the driveway but I don’t know if there are any unintended consequences...See MoreHas anyone else started a "cut rose" garden? What are your must-haves?
Comments (64)Librarian, yes it is very dry here. I also thought roses would never ball here but last year I lost a bunch of Mme. Ernest Calvat's spring blooms to balling, and it's not exactly a generous rose as it is so I was pretty bummed. My garden only has overhead watering, I guess MEC must have been super susceptible to it because even with always getting wet from overhead, my roses have never had a balling issue before....See More

5 months agolast modified: 5 months agoSheila if you felt so inclined, maybe send a suggestion that an easy and quick way to label a photo photo for someone not very tech savvy is to just select "edit" and then use the little "T" to add a quick text box to the photo. If done soon after taking the photos, it would really help avoid the confusion of which rose is which in a jumble of photos, and avoid the potential loss of information that way concerning rare roses. It seems a shame to go through the trouble of preserving and propagating a rare rose just to be unsure of accurate photos of it...
On an Android it looks like this:
