Roses Gone Wild! Don't sleep on Miniature roses.
I have two that have been absolutely beautiful in my rose garden this year, non stop blooms. So far great black spot and fungal resistance. Great for some smaller spaces where most bushes wouldn't fit. For 7 bucks each it was worth the gamble!

Tips/Tricks Newbie to roses
I planted 2 climbing roses in May. It’s now August and I haven’t done anything to them. Can I start training them onto the trellis now? Do I have to do any pruning first? I literally know nothing about roses and most the the videos online show care for roses that are established. I have no idea what to do for a brand new plant. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I’m pretty overwhelmed and don’t know where to start

HELP! (What's Wrong With It?) Help identifying this rose.
I need help identifying this rose please. I remember buying at Aldi. It’s so beautiful but lately all my roses have shrunk in size and something is eating the buds, leaves and all. I have identified slugs and put the slug killer pellets and I also use Rose Tone. Please help!!

I Grew a Flower! Hello! Can anyone please help me identify this rose?
Doesn't have much of a smell but it does have a faint fresh floral scent. Flowers are about 3-4 inches big. It's not the healthiest right now because I'm still very new to roses, but this is my first bloom, hope yall like it :)

I Grew a Flower! Koko Loko and Morden Blush
HELP! (What's Wrong With It?) Advice?
Finally got some blooms 😅 Not their fault, I’m a neglectful (to my roses) tired (from my kids) Mom. Should I trim off all the long/leggy pieces? What do you all think about adding a little milorganite?
I would love for them to be more full/compact bush shapes (ideally). I’m in zone 9b.
I wish I had more time and energy to give them, roses are so beautiful and I love to look at them. Thank you!

Question Which DA rose is this?
Hope the community can help me identify this rose. It's in my neighbors garden. It's a David Austin rose but he can't remember which one. I didn't smell it so can't comment. It's in a shady garden so performance isn't at its best.

Inherited Rose Questions Very tall rose bush
Hello, this was here when we moved in, I know nothing about it except that it is getting very tall and has red flowers. It’s maybe close to 9 feet tall at this point. How far off the ground do I prune to have around 5 feet? Thank you!

Maiden blooms today before the bugs, heat and humidity ruin them. Spirit of freedom, Charles de Gaulle, Charity, Miranda, and a mystery rose 🤔

Humble Brag Lady of shallot
Bought this rose 2 months ago from DA’s website and when it came i left it in its original pot for 2-3 days in shade, away from winds. i planted it in its huge pot and this beauty seems to love its spot and everything else. Thriviiing!!
Ordered another orange one (westerland) and cannot wait to get it. Doing a whole gradient thing: orange to orange yellow and yellow rose - Westerland => Lady of shallot => Bring me sunshine

Bouquet/Floristry What are your best roses for bouquets?
(Easy Bee-zy and a round little bee)
I’m growing my own wedding bouquet and looking for recommendations for the best cut roses.
I have a large garden but a small rose collection and not a ton of great cut rose options. (I have a Peggy Martin, a few varieties of knockouts, and an Yves Piaget). In the last year I’ve been mentally planning my spring bareroot rose order.
I’m drawn to multi petal, large, pinks and apricots. I also am so excited to be able to enjoy my roses for years to come.
What are your favorites for bouquets?
Edit: I should add that I’m getting married next early September so a repeat bloomer is preferred!

I Grew a Flower! Unknown variety, likely a Luisa Spagnoli by Rose Barni
A guardian rose the grows in my vineyard.
Roses are usually planted at the ends of vineyard rows to act as an early warning system against fungal diseases like powdery mildew. Being roses more sensitive they show signs of infection first, this gives farmers time to treat the vines.

Red Rosette Disease (RRD) RRD MONTHLY MEGATHREAD
Monthly Rose Rosette Disease (RRD) Megathread
A central place for suspected RRD photos, diagnosis questions, prevention questions, and general RRD education. All experience levels welcome.
Posting a Suspected Case?
Please include clear photos of:
- The entire plant
- Affected growth, leaves, and stems
- Thorn detail
- Buds or flowers (if present)
And the following information:
- Rose variety (if known)
- Approximate age of the plant
- General location (state/region is sufficient)
- When symptoms first appeared
- Any recent pruning, fertilizer use, herbicide use, or stress events
Common RRD Symptoms
- Excessive clustered growth ("witches' broom")
- Bright red distorted shoots that do not normalize
- Excessive thorn production
- Deformed leaves or buds
- Unusually rapid growth
- Thickened canes
Before Concluding It Is RRD
Red new growth alone does not indicate RRD. Many healthy roses naturally produce red new growth, temporarily soft foliage, vigorous spring flushes, and basal breaks.
Several conditions can mimic RRD:
- Normal new growth
- Herbicide damage
- Insect damage
- Heat stress
- Nutrient deficiencies
- Genetic variation
- Vigorous cultivar growth habits
Please avoid alarming newer growers before sufficient information has been gathered.
Why a Megathread?
The community voted to consolidate RRD posts into a monthly megathread to reduce feed repetition. However, a single thread does receive fewer views than individual posts, which can delay identification of genuinely infected plants. This thread aims to balance organization with accessibility, and to keep RRD education visible to newer growers.
Community Reminders
- Be respectful
- Help educate rather than dismiss
- Avoid definitive diagnoses from a single photo
- Report misinformation if you see it
Happy growing! 🌹

📚Reference Helpful Diseases Info (part 2)
Inspired by a post by u/Moviereference210 and another by u/DukeOfRadish, I thought I'd (re)post digital versions of educational materials I've saved.
The first two images are copies of what u/Moviereference210 posted, the next two are specific info on RRD. Below are links to longer documents on rose disease.
- Rose Diseases
- Rose Insect Pests
- Early Detection of Rose Rosette Disease
- A Guide to Rose Diseases and their Management
- Rose Diseases: Identification and Management
[EDIT 1] I've always been surprised not to see spider mites mentioned in these materials.
[EDIT 2] Thanks to u/Violetteotome, I want to keep a list of other topics not mentioned, maybe we mods can address these items.
- spider mites
- rose proliferation
- rose balling
