Jacobs Coat Rose
I bought a Jacobs Coat rose a few years ago and the first year it was
beautiful with a wide range of hues. I completely abandoned my garden and weeding for a couple of years,and finally cleaned up the area, fed and mulched the rose (the only rose there, btw) So this year it was absolutely covered with blooms. Problem is, all the blooms were the same blood red color - no variation in the blooms as they matured at all. Any ideas as to what happened here? |

oups.com... I bought a Jacobs Coat rose a few years ago and the first year it was beautiful with a wide range of hues. I completely abandoned my garden and weeding for a couple of years,and finally cleaned up the area, fed and mulched the rose (the only rose there, btw) So this year it was absolutely covered with blooms. Problem is, all the blooms were the same blood red color - no variation in the blooms as they matured at all. Any ideas as to what happened here? By the description, I think you mean Josephs Coat. Do a search on the name at www.helpmefind.com and see if the Josephs Coat photos fit what you remember of your rose. Now the bad news: It sounds like your rose reverted to the rootstock, such as Dr. Huey. I.e., the scion, or desirable part of the bush (Josephs Coat) died and was replaced by the part below the bud union, the rootstock. It's a common problem that you'll find discussed in various garden forums. Gail near San Antonio TX Zone 8 |
