Question about pruning roses
As a corollary everyone gives HM's a Zone 6 rating thinking the musk rose sets the limit. But most actually have very little musk blood in them. I'd say the whole HM cold rating is screwed up. Try to follow peoples 'real world' experience. -- Theo in Zone 5 Kansas City "Theo Asir" wrote in message news:71b7afb3d5c2f679f33543e348d8a2c3@TeraNews... Yeah, some northern roser used to wax poetic about Moonlight in the night garden. Smells good. How the hell did he keep it alive, you wonder. HM's aren't terribly hardy, Regina tells me. She lied. I've seen them grown all over Iowa in Zone 4. I grow several myself. Buff Beauty, Cornelia, Prosperity Darlow's Enigma, Baby's blanket, Belinda. No kill at all. All came through just fine on their own roots. I have a friend in Nebraska who grows BB own root It dies to the ground every year then comes back to a 4' bush by fall. -- Theo in Zone 5 Kansas City |
