Are they dead aka did I kill last year's roses?
Comments (7)I can't see your pictures although I have appropriate browsers. To see whether a rose is alive, remove any blackened or shriveled cane sections and prune down, looking for green inner bark in the cross section. Green bark indicates life. Then if the center pith is brown, keep pruning down until it is white. Sometimes you have to go all the way to the ground or the graft. The plant with exposed roots may have frozen out. Roots are more tender than canes. Also the graft or bud union, if any, should not be exposed to even a zone 8a winter. Here's where you may have gone wrong. --Shrinking soil may not have ben properly settled to begin with (saturate with large amounts of water as you backfill). Or it may have been all organic matter, which burns away in time. Use mineral soil with some organic matter added; don't set your plants in shrinking muck. --Set the graft slightly below grade level and be sure it is covered when winter sets in. --Potted roses need some winter protection against sustained temperatures below 20. Keep the rootball soil warmer than 20. For example, pile leaves around the pot....See MoreFound rose from Raleigh Cemetery~ could this be Memorial rose? Th
Comments (10)I think you've got a variety of Rosa multiflora. The scent is wonderful. Check Blooms in clusters. Check Apple green foliage. Check More leaves per compound leaf than almost any other rose. Check Deeply fringed stipules at the base of the leaf. Check. Double check, if the anthers turn brown before the petals start to fade. There is a variation on multiflora out there that is much shorter and well behaved. It's a natural variation. I had it in the garden and got rig of it, thinking I could get some that was down by the ferry landing. Only the Fisheries and Wildlife folks bulldozed it to increase a parking area. (Roses ARE wildlife, too.) If the next growth it puts out (almost before the blooms are over) is really vigorous, you have the barn eater multiflora which needs to be sited carefully in home yards. (Great photos, and it's good to see you posting.) Ann...See MoreI found such a rose...
Comments (11)Melissa, those of us with our own collection of 'senior moments' salute you. I think I should list the fragrant hy-teas in my garden, perhaps in a separate post but for here and now: Careless Love New Zealand Love's Promise Sheila's Perfume Peter Mayle Alec's Red Tiffany Jardins de Bagatelle Margaret Merrill Sutter's Gold Double Delight Lady Wenlock Legendary George Dickens Distant Drums Paul Shirville Spiced Coffee Blue Girl Irene Churucca Samaritan Elizabeth Harkness Girona Cameo Perfume Lemon Spice Blue River Souv. de President Carnot Ernest H. Morse Chateau de Clos Vougeot Dame Edith Helen Purple Beauty Fragrant Plum Gruss en Coberg Mrs. Charles Bell Red Radiance Oklahoma Crimson Glory Francis Dubreuil Intrigue Verschuren Charles de Gaulle Blue River Mrs. Oakley Fisher Papa Meilland Valencia There were other that were equally fragrant but did not survive my organic farming/no spray policy or like Mrs. Lovell Swisher is very beautiful but has a strong fragrance at 6 in the morning for five minutes on a foggy day so I did not list her. Maureen, last Spring was her loveliest and some of the hybrid perpetuals were in there element which is a very lovely one when they are on. la...See MoreHeirloom/Antique Roses and Rose Cuttings for Trade
Comments (21)elle, I have many of the roses you listed, but one I've always wanted is Kronprincessin Viktoria. Between my rose addiction and major construction that happened in my yard last year, I still have over 50 roses in pots that need to get into the ground. I hope to have most of them done by the end of this year. WHEW! I'll let you know when I have enough growth to take cuttings....See MoreCat
