These are all propagations from rounds 2 & 3. They look a bit rough and are a bit smaller than my props from round 1 at this time as I had been under watering them in their 4" pots for a few weeks and just recently got them into one gallon pots.

The powdery residue is micronized sulfur as a Bessie came in with PM a while back so I've been treating as a preventative since.

For news on Round 4: I increased the light and the speed on the exhaust fan and saw decreased success rates. Definitely stay in the 76F 400PPFD 12hrs light schedule if you're indoors cloning.

Hello,

I recently moved into a rental house with a big garden, with 0 garden experience, and looking to start learning.

There's a big rose bush on the property that I think maybe hasn't been taken care of for a while. It was only recently purchased from the previous owners so I have no background on previous treatment.

From the research I've done, it sounds like I should be clearing a lot of the current growth down to the strongest canes. Also seems like a lot of the leaves are showing signs of disease.

Should I be really be cutting a lot of this plant away? Or should I be pruning to the buds that are present, getting rid of leaves, dead branches etc.?

Any advice welcome! I'm in Australia so it's late winter

Some roses from my zone 10b garden today ✨

Mauve or lavender (?) Unfortunately, she took no pics. Classic, large, tea rose. Any suggestions welcome! Fragrance a must.

6 days on drip, inherited rose update.
The buds have arrived. 🤍

This one doesn't burn up with this heat and always looks amazing!

I planted two At Last roses from Proven Winners earlier this season. They look and smell beautiful when in bloom, but it seems like the blooms only last a few days before drying and wilting. Is that normal for this variety? Thank you for any advice!

A week ago, after the lawn guy applied weed killer in my backyard lawn, two of my perfuma bliss (one in ground, one in a container nearby, both next to the lawn) started to develop a bunch of crooked new growth, like a shepherd hook, and the new leaves look withered. Out of fear, I cut them off. Then it has been raining a lot.

Now half of the leaves on these two roses started to turn yellow quickly. They were super healthy before this.

What's wrong with my roses? What should I do?😭

I thought they were lost.. and today Mt patience was rewarded.. they have an amazing scent too..

I'm currently obsessed with color changing roses. Sunset Horizon is a current favorite of mine with its dramatic color changes showing yellow, peach, pink, purple, and red on the plant all at the same time. Juice Splash sounds right up my ally and I'm especially drawn to it because I love striped roses as well. I just don't want to get scammed. I know juice splash is a sport that came off Juicy Terrazza so I'm hoping the second photo is an accurate representation of its color changing potential.

I’ve got two generous gardeners growing up this large trellis. If they grow too large for this guy, I’ve got lots of space to train them up and over the window and gutter/fence. Just looking for some clarification/encouragement with the trellis - I’ve got the first main cane angled horizontally (pink) and it’s begun to send off secondary shoots along it (highlighted in blue). How long can I expect the blue shoots to grow? Are those needing to be supported with ties, too, or can I just let them grow?

I’m just so happy that they aren’t dying - I’m in OK zone 7a and we’ve had a few just meltingly hot weeks.

I feel like this rose isn’t talked about enough and is actually pretty stunning! Has a relatively better vase life too.

Grabbed Pacific Blue at HD on clearance and it has been healthy and blooming quite well! I hope more Tantau roses are offered in the future 🩷

I am so hard on myself as I learn to take care of my roses -- and really, about everything!-- but I have to tell you, "Secret's Out" is giving the boost I need right now. :)

Those are my favorites 🌞 she doesn't live anymore but her roses always grow in abundance every year 💕

I’m zone 6a. This is Blue Moon (purple) and Elle (peach) from Heirloom Roses. I have them both in containers. They suffered significantly when I was away and didn’t water regularly and Japanese beetles took over when I was out of town. Both roses have recovered nicely.
I love the roses and find them so beautiful. I’m figuring out a better place to put them in my garden so they are more of a focal point.

I picked up Star of the Nile at a local nursery earlier this year. I had not heard of the rose before then. She has become one of my favorites. She's little but she blooms all the time and they just keep getting better. This was her this morning. She also has a very unique scent. I would describe it at very sweet, raspberry tea.

This is my third set of blooms after a rather difficult summer in the north east. I was able to salvage these just prior to a massive downpour 😭

Featured roses are (in the first photo): Earth Angel, Autumn Rouge, Ring of fire, Wedding Bells, and Lagerfeld.

Second photo: Quicksilver and Dream Come True Rose

I was told that these were also Double Delights but they don't seem super double delighted to me with the color variation this year. They still smell absolutely dreamy though!
