problem with my roses-need help
It is a pain in the ass.
But if you can get a clean bloom and without blackspot, it really is very nice looking. Nice fragrance too. But you're right, if this year is as bad as last, she's toast. JimS.

So far, I've managed to keep the blackspot to a minimum, but I figure it's only a matter of time. No blooms yet, so I don't know if they'll be brown yet, but they were last year. JimS.

fragrance. Sorry ... It's on my lost to figure out. |

problem with my roses-need help
My neighbor's is absolutely glorious this year and I'm extremely jealous
and planning on getting one for myself!! The only thing strange is that now she's two rose buses in one due to an injudicious pruning session by an amateur gardner last Fall.

Interesting. There are only two roses amongst my 100 plus roses which exhibit this phenomenon of getting damaged by the rain also; one is Blue Ribbon and the other is Sheer Bliss. Just two ... I wonder ... I wonder if it is a function of certain kind of petal weight and colour combination. All the roses the three of us have mentioned so far - SdlM, Blue Girl, Blue Ribbon and Sheer Bliss are heavily fragrant as well as lightish pink to mauve roses, aren't they. Petal weight has definitely been a suspect in my mind with Blue Girl. She has such thin delicate petals. As far as anything else goes disease-wise, I've had a bit of problem with black spot which was easily remedied by spraying. Both of mine are more or less isolated (though the two are not far apart) so they get plenty of air flow. No sign of thrips or anything else - just these tannish edges on the outer petals that looks suspiciously like water damage. I've only had one other rose on a different bush show the same type of damage and this was a bloom that was pressed up against the house where dampness got trapped between those couple of petals and the house. That bloom was in a cluster and it was the only one that did that and those petals on that bloom were the only ones that showed that damage. Susan shsimko at duke dot edu |

Blue Girl is a kordes rose. And I will always have considerable respect for his roses. Seems there are many lines for this rose. Most of them weak. If you get the vigorous line, cool, if not it sucks. But there are so many roses that you don't have to worry about this way!
