Moss rose, anyone have one in their yard?
Sorry if this duplicates, I can't find the previous post I made the other
night and my usenet provider is flaky at times. In any event, I was looking through a rose bush that had a couple photos of moss roses, it didnt give me any real information just some great looking pictures and that the scent of the blooms is mixed with the scent of pine of the moss and that it's heavenly. So, does anyone have these in their yards? If so are they hardy and disease resistant? I live in Zone 08a Thanks, |

So, does anyone have these in their yards? If so are they hardy and disease resistant? I live in Zone 08a I have several moss roses including "Salet" and several "found" moss roses. They are all hardy and fairly disease resistant. Please keep in mind that they bloom only in late spring and early summer. The piney/peppery scent from the moss is particularly strong in "Salet." They are easy roses. Give them plenty of sun, water and a good balanced rose fertilizer, and they will produce loads of bloom. J. Del Col |

Moss rose, anyone have one in their yard?
I had Salet meveral years ago in Zone 5. Beautiful rose. But it was subject to downy mildew and finally sucumbed in one of our cold dry winters. Downy?? I've never seen that here. This is the first year I've seen some powdery and it was only on The Fairy. I'm very curious. Where in Zone 5 did you grow it. Was it grafted? I do grow salet and it is a nice 4' shrub for me and an absolute bloom machine. I planted it as a tiny own root last september and it did just fine w/ our -18f winter. -- Theo in Zone 5 Kansas City |
