Ragged Roses
"Tom Line" wrote in message
... Most of my roses look ragged from bloom burn and just lots of oppressive and humid heat. Is there anything I can do, fertilizer wise, etc to help 'em out. I just sprayed with Malathalon to kill the Jap beatles and it worked pretty good. It helps to know where you are, what kind of roses you have, any other information you can share like feeding and watering schedule, etc. A good source of information about roses is the American Rose Society: www.ars.org You can access the Articles without having to be a member.

Ragged Roses
I'm in Cincinnati. I have some Don Juan climbers, and an assortment of
different tea roses. I have one schrub rose however that's going like crazy. Maybe I could clone it. Wouldn't I have to graft it too? Are all good roses grafted?

"Tea" roses are a category of old garden rose. Some old garden roses cannot take spraying like the modern roses can. I don't spray, so I don't have experience with effects of spraying. However, I tend to agree with Joe that your roses like ours (in TX) are probably suffering from the heat and humidity. If possible, give them extra water. I learned that lesson the hard way. Watering deeply once per week is nice advice except when temps are well over 90 with no clouds! Lately I've been watering well every three days. Re reproducing roses: You can do a hardwood cutting. I've done that, so has Joe. The American Rose Society website has articles on rose propogation. A basic rose book, like Ortho's All About Roses, will have the information with pictures. Not all roses are grafted. All old garden roses, all miniatures, and even some modern roses are grown on their own roots. Gail near San Antonio TX Zone 8 USA |
