first rose wounds of the year
I have 150 or so roses, a little of everything, some own root "babies", etc.
I'm putting in a few more austin roses this year-I love their "take over the rose bed" habit. They are not much of a cut flower, but I've got other roses for that. Double Delight is my favorite rose-it is hateful to grow, not an easy rose at all, but I love it. outtaheretogotowork ed "Shiva" wrote in message news:aHlwYXRpYQ==.9b9494a3be3153bfa9066d9def8f2751 @1077552287.nulluser.com... ed wrote: it was about 60 degrees in Winston Salem NC USA today...I got out and piddled, cutting out deadwood, looking and dreaming, planning and dreaming...such is the hope of a rose lover...and I got sliced a little bit, sweet wounds to look at later this week when it gets cold again...no apologies here for looking forward to fighting aphids and looking for that first bloom.... Ed you are such a softie! I am looking forward to doing the same soon if I can get caught up at work. What do you have and what are you thinking of getting this year? Tell all!

Double delight has got to be just about the most popular rose around here. My neighbhor has a matching pair across her drive way. Right now they are enclosed in some styrofoam thingy with hay and mulch protecting them. She gets about 2 roses per month from each plant and seems to invest as much energy on those two as I do on my 130. Nice scent but when my Felicia starts blooming I can smell it from her driveway While her DD's do not carry to mine. She always has an horrible boty problem every year too. -- Theo in KC Z5 "ed" wrote in message . com...

And it's a *pretty* smell too - musky *and* sweet at the same time. It reminds me of my favorite perfumes. I *love* the look of those clusters as well... BTW, I had bragged on my Belami planting last year and I had talked about not taking the first blooms. I'm beginning to wonder if I made a mistake as the mild winter really took its toll on those three plants. LOTS of canker (or discoloration, whatever). I went out and had to prune several of the main canes all the way down to the graft. I'm hoping to get some good basal growth, but I think I'm going back to my original thought about taking first blooms upon planting. |
