io'm still agonizing over where to put 4 6" Dr. Hueys that
cropped up out of an old bed. I put stakes so they can be carefully mowed
around whilst i find the perfect spot for them!
Been there, done that. The good Doctor is no longer with us. In fact, he was
the first rose I shovel pruned.
He did have pretty blooms for a few weeks, then defoliated from blackspot.
Also the first rose in my garden to ever suffer from powdery mildew. I never
felt a bit of guilt about putting his reamins in the garbage can.
mine are well-nigh indestructible- the only downside is the one short blooming-
no BS or mildew- few bugs, drought tolerant, etc., etc, and... rootstock for
every rose ever planted in my garden- these 'helper' roses just crop up any old place.
still, i can't bear to kill them- i'll start a Huey hideaway somewhere...
