My sympathies to you. I hadn't lost a rose yet (not counting a mini I got on
sale for .50c - it was going to die anyway but thought I had to try to give
it a chance), but now it looks like my Granada bare root is going to die!

Ahhh, crap! E tu? You just got yours! That sucks. I have two ownroots that
are very young, have only produced tiny stunted flowers due to heat and
my losing my spray routine. They are bald of leaves, and I have not seen
new growth in two weeks, though they are still green. I just know no other
Granada is going to make blooms like the one I lost. Wahhhh!

It
was leafing out nicely and then it just started wilting. The canes have gone
black and even the shots from the graft are dieing. On one hand, I guess I
can say that at least it is only 1 from 60 but why that one! Why not another
that I wasn't so looking forward to ...

Yes, that is awful. My bareroots bit it due to waterlogging, I think. But
it was the same for me, except the canes went brown and dry looking. In
the middle of all this water. Some form of canker no doubt. Or maybe they
don't get enough oxygen when they get too much water? I don't know.



I also thought Jadis might not make it. Her canes were a weird combination
of lime green and grey and didn't look so healthy. Yesterday I noticed some
nice new shots just starting to leaf out - it looks like Jadis might make it
after all.

Post pics, friend! What season is it there now, just about spring?
