I have started to notice on a couple of new roses that I have planted that  when  the roses get about 3 - 4 weeks old after they have leafed out nicely the leaves dry up turn black and the rose appears to have died.  They all have been warrantied by J and P but i'm not sure if i'm just getting a bad one every now and then or if i'm doing something wrong.


Has anyone else had this problem? 


The roses that have had this problem are Sisters at Heart, Solstace, Tuscan Sun Gemini.


 


Thanks

It seems popular thinking has been that if you plant disease prone varieties, they'll "spread" disease through your garden. My own "theology", based upon twenty-plus years of messing with roses is that disease spores are ever present. They blow on the wind and hitch rides on you and any other human or animal which visits your garden. If you visit another nursery or garden and brush through plants which have disease on them, you'll carry home spores with which to inoculate your garden. Each rose will catch whichever disease when the conditions for that disease are right and the state of the particular rose is proper for it to "get sick". Personally, I avoid disease prone plants of any kind, even if I adore their foliage or flowers. Why increase the risk of a diseased, therefore less pleasant appearing plant in your garden? Each of us has to make our decisions about how much disease is acceptable in our gardens, and what we're willing to do about it. Super Star (Tropicana) and it's sports and quite a few of their offspring are very susceptible to mildew. It's a genetic trait for them to contract the fungus and when everything is right, they'll clutch the spores and proudly display their mildewy leaves. If mildew isn't a problem where you garden, you may not experience it. If that is a probable risk where you are, you may wish to rethink your choice of that rose. Believe me, when the other roses in your garden are clean and one or a few aren't, the affected ones stick out like sore thumbs!


It IS possible a rose can be loaded with disease and the others around it remain clean, for a variety of reasons. But, the diseased plant will never please  you as much as you hoped simply because it will never look healthy, particularly in comparison to those which ARE healthy.

I live in Montana and have several roses on the south side of my house.  The rose I have in my flower bed (to the SE of my house) is doing well but the others show no signs of new growth.  Should I be worried yet?

I live in E. WA, and only a few of my roses are growing well. The rest are still waking up, and when you look you can see the new growth under the mulch.


Can you see any green on the canes at all?  If there is green there is hope. Mound them with some kind of compost or mulch and keep them watered. Cut out all of the dead wood if you haven't all ready.


It's really too early to count them out completely. If you aren't seeing any growth by mid-June, then they probably didn't make it through the Winter.  If you have to remove them  take care to get as much of the roots as you can. The rootstock can start to grow years after you've removed the rose.


Best of Luck

Hello,

As for rooting roses and other shrubs, etc. I have a box (like a child's sand box) set-up in a shady spot. In the box, I have a mixture of 75% sand and 25% potting soil.
When I take my cuttings, I make sharp, clean cuts and immediately place them in water. When I have gathered all the cuttings I want, I head to my "rooting box". I then remove the cutting from the water and dip it in "Root Tone". Shake of the excess and poke a hole in the sand with a stick. Place the cutting in the hole and push the sand mixture tight around the buried stem. I then keep them moist. Sometimes if it is hot and dry, I will put a piece of plastic over the cuttings do they stay damp.
Now for the good part. All of the above should be done on the first quarter of the moon. I know it sound odd, but my 90-year-old grandmother gave me that tip and it does work.

I forgot to tell you. Do not let them to get dry. I water mind everyday.

Happy gardening.
Hoyt
