We Have Buds!
Major buddage here in Raleigh, NC. Don Juan has hundreds,
and almost seems to have grown over the winter! All the roses I pruned more than usual are coming out a nice shape with lots of good growth in the right places, so I am thinking I should have been pruning more freely all along. The leaders in blackspot a Lagerfeld, Gold Medal, Margaret Merrill and Full Sail. All roses worth having for me anyway. I've kept up with the every-ten-days spraying quite well this year, and hope to continue to. The Austins are going big guns, growing as climbers along a chain link with Penelope, Paul Neyron, and New Dawn. However--New Dawn creeps! But it is only in its second year. Apologies to those whose posts to me I missed due to my traveling and the lousy retention of my newreaders. Julie, I saw some from you just before I had to leave the country the last time, but now see them no more. Soon as I get caught up I will visit Google land and see if I can get them there. I think it will be a good year for roses!! |

We Have Buds!
Lavender Lassie won this years contest
(as she does every year) when she opened about 20 blooms over last weekend. She now has over a hundred open and has been joined by Lady Hillingdon tea and Hermosa among others. I have not seen an outbreak of Aphids yet this year which is surprising. Theo "Shiva" wrote in message news:aHlwYXRpYQ==.61f7e22c76d4b24ea6e20ba696e2e6ff @1082600576.nulluser.com.. ..
