Question About Overwintering Bands
Published (2009-11-23 00:32:00)
In your zone, as long as the temps stay above 32 degrees, they'll be fine and need no heater. I'd pot them into one gallon pots if they aren't already. Leave them out or place in the greenhouse, your choice.

Flies in cuttings
Published (2009-11-22 20:31:00)
You probably have what are known as "fungus gnats". They're attracted to potting soil because of its relatively high percentage of organic matter. As that matter is moistened and decomposes the gnats' larvae (maggots) eat the fungi doing the decomposing. Except when they're present in very high numbers they're generally of no consequence to the plants growing in the same medium.

fungicide with no insecticide?
Published (2009-11-22 19:11:00)
I do not worry about late autumn blackspot. I look at blackspot appearing at this time of the year in cooler climates as part of nature's way of shutting down the roses for the winter.

my compost pile
Published (2009-11-23 01:46:00)
just a question, how do you keep rats out of the compost pile? And once we have that solved, is there any danger of roaches ((shudder))? Rats seem to like to nest in them here as well. Rat traps baited with peanut butter work. :( I'm thinking of changing from wire fencing for my compost to garbage barrels (with lids) with holes drilled in the bottom--or with the bottom cut out and replaced with hardware cloth. Also barrels will keep the...

I also saw someone say that pet hair -- the kind you pull out of your dog's brush -- works well for that specific purpose. It was such a unique response, I remembered it even though I had no use for it. But I do my cuttings outside, so don't notice the fungus gnats if they are there. Kathy

pillaring James Galway
Published (2009-11-23 12:33:00)
Thanks, Ann! I wasn't sure about cutting him down. Didn't know if I would ruin his shape and was afraid to do that without someone giving me permission. :) I wanted something tall by the corners, and there's room to get bigger around, but the canes bending down is the big problem. Guess I'll start whacking! Thanks for the advice - I was just a little nervous about cutting him down to size. :)

Dana, I bought back a plant of Pink Clouds from California this week. I won't know until next spring about the hardiness of PC. There actually are two quesitons: hardiness of the rootstock character of the scion-does the rootstock let it go dormant early enough in winter for it to matter And in Zone 5, there would be a third question: does your normal winter protection suffice to ...

Patience, grasshopper. It will break down. It won't happen over night, or even over winter (since microbial action slows to nearly nothing in cold temperatures), but it WILL happen. You don't have to turn a pile. Turning and mixing speeds up the process somewhat, but you can get compost without lifting a finger if you have patience. Forget about it until next fall, when there will ...

let James do what James wants to do. Grow him as a large and beautiful vase shaped shrub with abundant blooms. There used to be a lot more roses to choose from-for pillaring. Roses with the lax canes that go back to the wichurana in their heritage often are more bendable (but there are also Wich. hybrids that have such strong canes (American Pillar) that they can put up a thirty foot cane...

Hi Lavender, I grow Scepter'd Isle as a tree rose. I store it over the winter in my unheated garage, wrapping the trunk graft in bubble wrap. It has made it through two winters now, but I am in zone 5. It is a lovely rose and a generous bloomer.

The fungicide in Ortho's Funginex is triforine, and Ortho still sells it but under the name, "Rose Pride". The two rose fungicides most mentioned on this forum and probably the two most effective for blackspot are propiconazole (BannerMax) and tebuconazole (various Bayer products). Here is a link that might be useful: Rose Pride

Fragrant Cloud can get to 6' x 2' here. In my area (east central NJ), like all of the other hybrid teas, it is not disease resistant, and must be on a regular fungicide treatment.

Who is selling 'Golden Zest'? Spectacular fragrance on that one. I would love to have it. 'The McCartney Rose' (assuming you mean the pink HT) has strong fragrance, big strong grower, excellent bloom production, long cutting stems, not enough petals for my warm dry climate. Slight tendency to mildew, better than average rust resistance. Tends to bloom in clusters more than single stem ...

Has to be Sombreuil (Colonial White?) in our climate. Awesome rose, fragrant, vigorous, and scoffs at the heat. I just tried to post a picture, but apparently I've forgotten how!

Really big. I keep mine trimmed back quite a bit but it would still 8-12' tall if I stood it up against a trellis. I let mine grow against a fence. I get very little dieback with only oak leaves as protection at the base. The canes are exposed to the elements. Quadra looks like it would get really big also. It too grows along a fence. I get no die back from it and now that it's mature, it ...
