I D Tag Wires
HI All,
New here. Prunung roses is a great time to ponder the mysteries of the universe. Today's question is: Why is it that nearly always the cane that the name tag is on will be the one that dries up, dies and has to be cut off. The wire is always quite loose; no damage visible to the cane at all. Could it be a metal reaction? Or maybe some kind of electrical something created by the loop of wire. I have about 40 roses and this has happened on nearly all of them. Any ideas?? Thanks, Burt |

Hi Burt,
On most modern rose bushes all stems have a finite life span 2 to 4 years on average. The rose name tag is invariably attached to the first and therefore the oldest stem which is destined to die first. That's the theory but I have not carried out any tests on this, maybe I will do so as like you I believe there may be more to it.

Thanks Martin,
I'll keep looking. Maybe we can figure it out. Burt Martin wrote: Hi Burt, On most modern rose bushes all stems have a finite life span 2 to 4 years on average.

I like this theory - it suggests that maybe it's not my fault when canes die... |
