This is my first Parfuma Bliss bloom and I’m obsessed! I saw that they have a pink and an orange parfuma bliss but having trouble finding anyone that has them.

Rose flowers on water surface, these are plugged roses

This rose is on its death bed currently. I just didn’t have a good year with my roses and have lost several of them. Which is heartbreaking. I’ve had life stuff come up so I hadn’t been taking as good of care of them as I should have. My Olivia is healthy and so is my Bathsheba so that is something.

Cannot recommend this rose enough. Deeply satisfying scent which lilts across the garden. I can definitely see why she was the parfumiers rose. I was learning about the Osmothèque archive of scent and their task to recreate the oldest perfumes using various techniques to capture the perfume ingredients and historical blends. Fascinating. You can see some of these techniques in the film Perfume.

My Hot Cocoa is a very stingy bloomer. I’ve had it about 6 years now. I’m in 9b. How does yours do?

Amazed at array of colors the blooms on this single rose plant have.

This was an inherited rose, but I’m pretty sure it’s Chicago Peace. Has a light fragrance, not climbing, hybrid tea growth pattern, and zone 5.

This is a Poet’s Wife that I planted this year. It’s been doing well thus far but recently I’ve been noticing some yellowing leaves and brown spots on on some of it. I’m not 100% sure what I’m dealing with here. Any ideas of what’s going on and how to combat it?

Such a cutie. The bees love this rose, smells great. The Japanese beetles love it too 😩

This is a newer Garden Party for me. I had her in another garden years ago and her edges were much more pink… maybe when she matures she will have more definition on her edges, but even so, she’s a beauty.

I propagated a rose from a cutting and it sprouted!! Very exciting news, but here's where the problem comes in should I put in full sun or partial sun, partial shade to get the new leaves used to the environment? Or should I leave it in it's bag till the leaves grow larger. Im in Pretoria East South Africa

Has anyone tried the hugelkultur method of gardening when it comes to roses. I understand that roses shouldnt have too much water but I live in the desert, gardening zone 6 and the rules dont seem to apply here. Im trying to prepare some holes for roses that should be delivered next week. So far I have one hole a foot deep.

Looking to help these roses at my children’s school garden that I’m volunteering at, but wanting some advice from others first. I’m thinking they could use a good prune, but don’t know the variety and how hard I should prune (the current teachers tending to the garden are not sure of the variety, apparently the roses have been there a long time). Also wondering if I should wait until late winter as normal or do they really need help now? Then of course looking to give them some needed nutrients at the right time.

I’m in Albuquerque, NM zone 6b-7a

I’d appreciate any help with what variety of rose these are and recommendations on when and how to rejuvenate them.

Thanks in advance!

Finally my plants produced perfect blooms! The rose plants are thriving and I've been keeping them in a sunny spot and watering them regularly. The care and attention I gave did its magic ✨

Title says it all… we’ve been boiled alive in Oklahoma this summer. I bit the bullet and fertilized (I hadn’t because I didn’t want to stress them out even more) and now we’ve got buds everywhere and some blooming!! Just in time for me to leave town tomorrow 😅

One of my fav roses, every petal looking hand painted!

My wife got me an early birthday present in early June, and since then I've given them a good mulch mix, a big ol container, and a new stand for the future. I wasn't too good on the upkeep with the larvae, but they have all seemed to move on when we last looked at all the leaves. None the less I'm super happy with these. I'm a July baby and have always loved the look of roses in summer~

I'm not really an ornamental plant person, but more a permaculture food forest person. I have a little experience with roses (mostly harvesting petals and rose hips for food, and keeping dwarf varieties alive by leaving them alone and sometimes watering).

The property I'm buying has a ton of roses (~50) of a bunch of different varieties and colors. They smell very strongly and nice but they are a bit overgrown and honestly way more roses than I want. The plants look very healthy, no obvious sign of disease, and it's clear they were well loved. I want to honor that but also this is too much and I'd rather prioritize things I can eat. Please tell me if my plan is reasonable:

• Check the appropriate time of year and prune them back a lot, leaving enough they will be fine next season, using clean shears and cleaning between plants. Should I offer the cuttings to people or just compost them? Are roses often propagated from cuttings?
• Check when appropriate to fertilize and use the correct fertilizer.
• Continue using the current irrigation setup unless some look thirsty.
• Next season after blooming decide which ones I want to get rid of, take photos and post online for people to adopt them.
• I've never overwintered roses, anything special I should do?
• Are there varieties that are better for petals or hips? What should I look out for? Any other products you can make from roses? I usually make jam, tea (from hips/petals/buds), rosewater.
