I cannot upload a reply to this comment. The form goes blank, when I push the continue button
I believe it's because I wanted to include 3 URL's. HMF accepts one URL per message, I found out.

A message loaded with multiple urls is usually spam. We have an enhancement planned to drop these restrictions for premium members as, to date, we're not aware of any spammers signing up to be premium members. Thanks for the reminder.

Thanks for your reaction and the future possibillity to send more URL's in one message.
I noticed before sometimes the form went blank, but didn't make the link with too many URL's.
But today I found out, so I was able to give the info I wanted in several replies. One has to be inventive with the provided possibillities.

I live in Metro-Detroit, I grow "Gemini" HT very well. I think the hardiness listed is dubious. My rose is even grafted and it continues to perform well.

This is what HMF is looking for: actual experience. Again, the question is whether you winter protect. Is Detroit Zone 5 or Zone 6?

Hi
Yes, with a rose cone with the top cut off of it. It is near my Lagerfeld. Same scenario, though. It is 5-6' from a north facing wall. Often canes sticking out from the rose cone are still alive.

As to the zone question: TECHNICALLY my area is zone 5. I'm close to the Detroit river, and the closer you are to the city, the more zone 6 you are... but I can't grow zone 6 crape myrtle even in a rose cone, so I'm guessing zone 5b. Most hybrid teas survive with a little help around here, that is, if they are grafted ones.

My Gemini, which I purchased last fall year in a five-gallon pot, flourished without disease until Spring pruning. I had two nearby roses that were attacked by spider mites. All adjacent roses received the same general pruning, the same chemical treatments, and the same pressure water spray (to remove the spider mites that were surviving the chemicals). The heavily infested plants recovered, but the seemingly untouched Gemini died off. Pruning was light, but the dieback seemingly started with each pruned cane. I recently replaced Gemini. The rose I purchased, which was the only one left at the nursury, iis blooming but the areas that appear to have been pruned previously are mostly dead. My take, and perhaps others can weigh in, is that Gemini responds horribly even to mild pruning. Anyone else experienced this?

What zone are you in? We only have a foot of live cane on Gemini in spring (planted in 2001). I mound it with 6 inches of mulch (lawn clippings) and it gets lots of snow piled on it. Spring growth is early and very vigorous. I haven't noticed additional cane dieback after pruning. I pressure wash it with water twice a week but don't have to spray chemicals.

Can't say that I have encountered the same pruning problem you have experienced. Gemini prunes well for me and in my SoCal garden needs to be pruned occasionally for shaping. For what it's worth, Gemini is one of the most prolific bloomers in the garden even after pruning. Best of luck! It's a great rose.................SoCal Miguel

Beautiful form and color on Gemini and puts out lots of blooms. Winter hardy in Zone 5 Michigan.
