Is it OK to cut a rose back and leave no leaves on the canes?
Comments (7)Thanks everyone. I really didn't want to move them for lack of room but I really like them and want to keep them. In the spring they are fine because the crape myrtles aren't very big but now they are huge and nothing in that bed gets the sun it got in the spring. I think I will cut them back since they are shaded so much now so I can tidy up the bed and then move them this fall. Thanks everyone for all your help. Now I guess this gives me an excuse to buy some new plants next spring to fill that spot, for shade this time around. lol!!! Thanks, Judy...See MoreVariagated Hosta putting out solid green leaves now

Comments (5)The media they use in the linked OHW article will hold WAY too much water, and probably result in rotted cuttings. A better media is one that is half peat and half perlite. Falling leaves isn't too much of a concern. Roses that root very easily will usually keep their leaves, because the roots form quickly and can supply water so the leaves don't drop. Most cuttings, however, will drop their leaves. This is NOT a sure sign of failure ... just make sure to pick up the leaves as they drop so they don't become a host for fungal diseases. Are you deciding that your cuttings have failed because the leaves drop? As long as the stem of the cutting is green at the soil line, the cutting is alive and has a chance to root ... whether it has leaves or not. I have a photo tutorial on my web site that can show you step-by-step the method that I teach. (I propagate on a much larger scale now, so I have mist in my greenhouse doing the job for me.) This method has worked really well for quite a few of the posters here. I hope it helps you. Connie Here is a link that might be useful: Click on How To...See MoreHelp, some roses are leaving out!!
Comments (6)My zone 6 (Ks) alternates between warmer weather and freezing weather which usually warms up again in a few days (last winter was the exception--stayed COLD for a long time). So my roses have been enduring multiple freeze-thaw cycles for a number of years. Yes, if I check, I can often find the tips trying to form new red tiny little buds--I guess they just get frozen off with the next revolution of the freeze-thaw cycle. My solution: since I can't change the weather, I don't go out and check for new growth until spring approaches--or otherwise I'd have a nervous breakdown! Come spring, I will probably have to trim my hybrid teas way back--hopefully only to about 12 inches or so, but sometimes nearly to the ground before I discover good white healthy pith in the centers of the canes. I don't worry too much about that, however, since hybrid teas usually seem to like rather severe prunings. They pop up good after that (usually). I worry a bit more about my shrubs, old and new, that don't like severe spring prunings. Fortunately, a lot of them are hardy to Zone 5, so they are safe in my region (usually), but some of them may be fated for permanent shrimp-sized status due to the cold weather setting them back every year. Speaking of weather, it just started snowing here. First real snow this winter. Kind of a "I'm dreaming of a white Xmas" kind of snow. Other than that, the temps aren't bad at all, though chilly of course. Kate...See Moreflower2sew
