Rain and Roses
Well, after the deulge we have received this year, I'm thinking that the
Blue Girls and possibly one of my mystery roses are going to SP'ed next year. Blue Girls will most likely make room for some english roses and the mystery rose for Barbra Streisand. No growth is the reason for the mystery rose to make the SP list and just plain ugly growth, poor performance and poor disease resistance for the Blue Girls. Besides that, if I don't SP something, I have no room for any other roses. *grin* Don't get me wrong, I couldn't SP a nice specimen but the lack of space tdoes translate as it does for many others that the roses I do have need to "put out or get out". So far, I am quite pleased with the Double Delights I put in this year. They are both doing really well despite the rain though one did experience some destruction of buds due to all the rain. They are both blooming again now with no signs of the problems they experienced during one of our monsoons. The Granada is also doing marvelously. I am amazed by it. I suspect that it may have to do with the fact that it is by itself, no other roses anywhere close, nestled up to the corner of the house where it gets some protection but also lots of light and air flow.
