Welcome to the group.
I grow Henrey Kelsy and William Baffin in that group. Baffin grows HUGE and is almost indestructible. Likes water regularly, as do all roses. Kelsey is more creeper so you have to train and support the flexible canes. I also grow Stanwell perp. in a sort of I can't get anything else to grow that spot kinda way. I don't grow too many rugosas. They grow too slowly for my taste. You are right they don't take to sprays. They are mostly disease free but some of the hybrids do get diseases. As far as fertilizers I think the recommendation for a long time on this group has been to use time release pellet fertlizers like osmocote. The other recommendation is to go to fish emulsion. If you can get over the stinkiness (which just lasts a day) I highly recommend it. I only have to feed 2-3 times a year. -- Theo in KC Z5 "Sharon Capps" wrote in message ... Hello, my name is Sharon and I live in MN zone 4 is what they say. I am new to roses and have purchased a few roses from Veseys and I am awaiting their arrival. I bought Therese Bugnet, F. J. Grootendoorst, Topaz Jewel and Kaleidoscope which are Rugosas and I also bought Stanwell Perpetual. I bought two climbing rose, Henry Kelsey and William Baffin. I understand that they are all easy to grow. Is this the truth or just a marketing ploy? I also read that Rugosas do not like to be sprayed with insecticides or liquid fertilizer. Can a person put a liquid mixed fertilizer around the base after watering or should you water it in? Thanks for any help and I sure do love this group. I have been reading for about a month now.
