Comments (20)Mori and Kate, RRD has been in the Kansas City area for over thirty years. The paper in my web book Bibliography by Dr. Fred Crowe is, I think, available somewhere on line. He did a very good into as the disease was new to him and almost everyone else back then. Crowe, F.J., 1982, A recent Outbreak of Witchesâ Broom of Rose in Eastern Kansas and Western Missouri, Phytopathology 72(7): 976-977. (Abst.) Crowe, F.J., 1983, Witchesâ Broom of Rose: A New Outbreak in Several Central States, Plant Disease, 67(5):544-546 The picture Issa posted has the perfect shot of normal KO blooms after the petals have dropped : look at the five sepals on the two blooms on the right (one in the uppermost right corner.) Now look in where the blooms aren't dropping their petals neatly. Just above where the two black pots are touching each other there are sepals that are symptomatic of RRD on KO. Their sepals aren't like the ones at right, but have a (for lack of a better adjective) leafy edges, lots of stuff instead of the smoother edges you see at right. I've seen a lot more 'leafy sepals' appearing on roses that we saw last fall with RRD; the sepals excessive and aberrant growth is really bad. After KOs have been sick for several years, the symptoms change gradually and the leaves thin and more witches brooms appear and the blooms come in almost cone-like densities. The colors of individual witches brooms go from magenta to chlorotic green depending on where on the rose they emerge. If the symptoms weren't so ugly, they'd be interesting....See Moreopen to the design trade only...closed to the public
Comments (13)Mine was not a yard of fabric. I am recovering two sofa's - something like 40+ yards of fabric. I know exactly what I want. It seems that the designers want to add a percentage (cost plus) simply for placing the order. I am not looking for a designer to stand behind the product, or do ANY leg work. Simply place the order and have it shipped directly to me. But I also enjoy seeing the really beautiful, top notch fabrics. The discount houses have your basics, and once in awhile, something special will turn up there, but missing any coordinating fabrics, or if they have it, it will be in another color wave. Or they will get a second with a different dye lot. And I want to see the fabric, in real life, and not on a computer screen. It seems in this economy, they would take orders from those willing to buy from them. Or even charge a small fee to shop there, (and for samples) so they feel if you are in their shop, you intend to buy. And perhaps offer a "slightly" better discount to the designers, but still give those interested access to all of the special fabrics and decorative items designers have access to....See MoreRRV, roundup, other?!
Comments (23)I started a longish post when my computer went blip! Here is the short version. Write a letter to the local newspaper's editor--be very polite, very informative, passionate, and fairly short. I always get immediate response when I do that--but of course I live in a smaller town that is sometimes nearly starved for local news. : ) Do something like: We have a problem, right here in Riverside City, and it is spelled RRV. What is that? The Rose Mosaic Virus that will uglify and destroy your beautiful Knock Out roses in one season. Don't believe me? Go to the corner of _____ and ______--in fact, take the road all the way back to Costco (that will get their attention) and see for yourself all the ugly distorted Knock Outs that have probably been declining due to RMV for the past couple years. RMV (rose mosaic virus) is highly contagious and has probably infected many roses within several miles of that highly infected section. There is no cure for RMV (rose mosaic virus)--the entire plant that is infected must be completely destroyed, roots and all, and put into a tightly sealed garbage bag. Are other roses also at risk? YES! Though for some reason, Knock Outs seem to be most susceptible. Please, everyone--tell your city/county officials who care for that section of the roads to destroy all those plants before the virus spreads to every rose in the city! And tell any business that harbors the RMV-infected roses on their property that you will not tolerate such horticultural negligence from any business you frequent. The more people speak up and object, the more likely we are to get this rose scourge uprooted and destroyed--thus saving the roses in our yards and gardens throughout the city. Respectfully yours, I'm serious. Fine tune that a bit to fit your gardening region, and go to it! If the newspaper people don't know you, it wouldn't hurt to add a one or two sentence "biography" that indicates you are a stable person and definitely a resident of the area in question. Hope that helps. : ) Kate...See MoreHeirloom Gardens No Longer Open to Public. Sales Cottage Torn Down.
Comments (30)Seems the gardens were renovated by the Hannas since they took over Heirloom. A post by Noseometer last June with photos shows how lovely they looked then. http://forums2.gardenweb.com/discussions/3974860/visit-to-heirloom-roses?n=6 Wonder if the "20% more blooms" claim might be in comparison to RMV virused plants? Heirloom is one of few suppliers that make the effort to offer virus indexed/virus free roses. That's important to me. Three sets of roses from Heirloom arrived here in May from sales, all well grown with roots throughout the gallon pots. (Bands from that sale landed mid-March, have outgrown the gallon pots into which they were transplanted & are overdue for bumping up into larger pots.) The first two came in full leaf - my strong preference. The last, shipped out two days after the middle set, had their leaves stripped off at Heirloom & pushed out replacements in transit just like yours, Lilyfinch. Parked in bright shade on the front porch to keep an eye on them, they greened up quickly & put out new growth. Same has been true for others previously shipped in the hot months. All the UPS Ground shipments from Heirloom take 7-8 days to get here - longer than I'd like, too. Yet the roses don't seem bothered by it, even in the high heat of last August or the cold of March. While some nurseries stop shipping for the Summer season, Heirloom keeps going for those of us who don't choose to wait. Pros & cons - yet all their roses have done exceptionally well for me.
