Therese Bugnet thorny?
Comments (8)I'm laughing, Barbara, cuz I was just going to write that the new canes are thorny and then it all levels out to a mildly thorny rose. YMMV, as Jeri says. It sure is a beauty of a rose all year long. Whether you plant straight into the garden or not depends on how well-developed the root system is. I wish I could make it simpler, but it's true. If RU grew those roses for a year before you received them, they'll be fine and I'd put them right in the ground while it's cooler. If they've just recently grown up and been shipped early, it could be tough for them to survive and you might want to harden them off for awhile. Whatever you decide to do, they'll both be beautiful roses. Share pictures later!...See MoreImpressed with Therese Bugnet rebloom
Comments (14)Mine's 15 years old and has traveled off its rootstock. I never got more than a couple more blooms after the spring bloom until last year. Started using fish emulsion. I have to say I don't like fish emulsion. Also I poured the water to it. Madame Hardy is next to it and has a reputation as a really stingy bloom producer. This year it is covered with blossoms. I tell you what, that fish emulsion is really disgusting stuff. I got it because all the fertilizer I could find around here had cranked up their percentages until they were just generic Miracle Grow. I think Miracle Grow is just like feeding your toddler Mountain Dew. Along with the Fish emulsion I used a product called Alaska Morbloom. Both products came from this company and had a percentage together of 5-11-11. A lot of the professional rose food has a lower percentage, and I'm guessing is better for the plant, long term....See Morewhat's wrong with Therese Bugnet?
Comments (3)The twisted new growth has powdery mildew disease, which you should look up. You can control it by hosing down the foliage occasionally at a time when it will dry quickly and applying an organic fungicide such as oil, sulfur, or Cornell mixture. See the FAQ on the Organic Roses Forum. The large brown areas appear to be some type of spray burn. Have you applied anything to the foliage? The round brown spots could be spot anthracnose disease, to which Therese is susceptible. It spreads in cool weather with rain, but you may not need to do anything about it. TB is a tough rose....See MoreTherese Bugnet and her little sister Marie
Comments (9)Countryrose, those are some splendid photos. I have both "sisters" growing near one another. Therese is quite prone to attack by rose stem girdler and so she does not get a chance to reach her full potential but is constantly trying to grow new canes to replace the ones I have to prune away; she reaches about 4 ft. maximum. In spite of Therese' lovely reddish canes, my heart goes to Marie. The purity of her white petals is heartbreaking - and those red accented buds! Ahhhh, so beautiful. She is extremely diminutive here, being only about 2' tall. I have to get down on hands and knees to appreciate Marie's beauty and fragrance, growing there at the foot of her sister. If there would be any resistance to deer, BTW, it might be that she's so small they would overlook her in favor of more upright browsing - like Therese! ;-)...See MoreMischievous Magpie (CO 5b)
