Deformed rose
A customer has just brought these in, asking us if we know what is
wrong! It's supposed to be Madame Isaac Pereire. Apparently every flower, bar one, is like this. All they have done is feed it last September with a ready-prepared solution so no incorrect mixing or dilution is involved. They say neither they nor their only neighbour have used any sprays or weed killers. If anyone recognises these symptoms and can put a name to them, we'd be very grateful. I've promised them that someone will have an answer for them! http://www.flickr.com/photos/93694401@N03/9117326632/ -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon www.helpforheroes.org.uk |

Given the spring we had, cold is certainly an entirely possible suggestion and I only wonder why we didn't all get that problem! I must check where they live and see if it's likely to be much colder than we had here. A late frost is certainly a suggested cause. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon www.helpforheroes.org.uk |

We seldom see it when the season gets well under way which is late this year. Rod |

Rod One article I read suggested that one cut off the affected blooms and that second growth probably wouldn't be affected. But of course Mde.

My garden is probably too shady for them, so I put it down to that. General opinion from various sources on here, Twitter, Facebook, mostly put it down to the cold spring. I'll have to check where these people live because it hasn't been a problem with our roses at all. But it may be that they got a cold, or colder, blast at just the wrong time. Roses like a cold spell to induce dormancy but not when they're developing the buds, apparently! If the marred growth is cut off, it's said that they'll come back with a pefect second growth. But as Mde P only flowers once, they've had it for this year. I'm going to suggest that they cover their plant in horti fleece if the spring of next year promises to be as cold at just the wrong time. Such a shame because it's a glorious rose and the scent is out of this world. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon www.helpforheroes.org.uk |
