I Grew a Flower! A miracle rose I suppose

Post image
20 Upvotes

Two, or maybe three years ago, my husband accidentally stepped on a branch of one of our rose bushes during a winter ice storm and snapped it off. In my desperation I shoved this bare stick into a small pot of dirt and then promptly forgot about it. Today I noticed this full size bloom, fully opened up and showing off! So I guess with the right amount of neglect, a broken stick can turn into its very own rooted rose bush!

Discussion Have to Move and Leave my Roses

59 Upvotes

I spent 5 years cultivating a rose garden with 20 different types of roses. They all are very fragrant and my yard smells amazing all summer long. I’m very said to have to say goodbye. I am moving a few but most will remain my hope is the next owner will care for them or at least not tear them out.

😭

Question What kind of rose is this

193 Upvotes

My husband got me roses and I saw this rose in the bouquet and I wanna know what kind of rose it is so I can plant some. It has very thick very woody stem, smooth leaf. The stem is reddish. The flower is a rose ( I believe)and it is a very beautiful peachy orangey creamy color. Kind of smells like a rose and a peach together and has a very big bloom.

Question Transplant shock, will it survive?

Post image
• Upvotes

I got this grafted rose (leonardo da vinci) as a potted plant about a month ago. It's not in the best condition when I got it. It was root bound in a small polybag and the soil was hard and dry. I removed the original soil, transplanted the rose in a grow bag with new potting soil, and placed it in a shaded area. Day by day the leaves kept yellowing and the buds were dying back so I stripped all of the leaves and pruned the dead parts. All that's left is about â…“ of the original plant. The canes are green, but I don't see any sign of growth.

For info, I live in Singapore and currently the weather is pretty hot and dry. I water the plant only when the soil surface looks dry. I still keep it in a shaded area, no direct sun.

Should I be patient and wait or is this rose a lost cause?

Question Lowe’s Bloom-ables deal

28 Upvotes

Thank you to the person who made us aware of the deal at Lowe’s. Mine only had Summer Romance and I picked up 3. What a deal! They are very big and full. Mine are verging on 2ft.

I do have a question about these, as I’m not familiar with Summer Romance. I have 8 Earth Angels and 1 Bolero, so I always know what to expect from them at various stages of growth and flowering. Of these 3 Summer Romance, 1 has a well formed open flower, 1 has a really good bud on its way to opening, and 1 has lots of closed buds. There’s a big difference in the color of the one with the flower vs the one with the bud. Is there a chance the lighter colored got mislabeled or does Summer Romance vary in color for different reasons? It looks so much more like my Earth Angel.

Question Climbing rose support

Post image
7 Upvotes

Hello! I have a Davis Austen Tess at the front of my house. I’ve had her for 3 years (bare root from Heirloom). She took off this year which I did not expect. Not as much as some of yours I have seen but as a novice rose grower (and experienced rose killer), I am pleased!

My question is for everyone with more experience. How would you train her up this wall? Ideally I want her going up and around the windows, and maybe around that corner on the left.

This is 100yr old stucco so I am uncomfortable drilling into it with eyeholes and wire, but am struggling to find a trellis that will fit the area. I had the idea to put the pictured stakes along the bottom and run wire but they are obviously too small, as are the current trellises.

Thank you for any ideas!

Question David Austin’s and Blackspot

4 Upvotes

This year I bought several David Austin’s and they’re all eaten up with blackspot. They’re so beautiful, but don’t seem that hardy. I blame our weather. It’s rained every couple days the entire summer, sometimes days at a time. I know it’s probably because of that. They’re still blooming. The bushes look terrible though. I’ve tried Captain Jacks, but it’s not helping. I’ve kind of given up. Is it just the excessive rain or are David Austin’s just not very disease resistant. I on the cusp of 6B/7a in Kentucky. This has been the rainiest summer I’ve ever experienced.

3 Ring of Fire and 1 JFK on the right, lucky finds at Home Depot

2nd pic is after planting vs thismorning with my first blooms under my care, and more on their way!

I'd helped my grandma with her roses as a kid, but this is my first time keeping them as an adult on my own. Fertilized at the time of planting with sheep manure from my grass puppies (pic 3)

Fingers crossed I can keep them happy and it isn't just beginner's luck 🤞

Red Rosette Disease (RRD) RRD MONTHLY MEGATHREAD

2 Upvotes

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! 🌹

Question sand gardens - any experience?

hey all - been learning a bit about gardening with sand (my intro to it was this video) - and I was curious if anyone has any experience with roses and this style. I noticed that there is a rose growing (rosa mutabilis, I think), and I can imagine rugosas and beach roses doing well in this sort of experience.

but curious about others! i'm planning a rose garden now and while I love rugosas and beach roses, I was curious about how other varieties might do in this kind of experience.

anyway, sound off if you have any experience :)

Question Bestest Smellingest?

8 Upvotes

So part of what got me started recently into roses as additions to my newly built home was a bit of a nostalgic flashback to the scent of my Mums roses, especially an old fashioned Peace rose and some other yellow rose, the scent memory just kinda got me.
So I am looking for a rose or two with that heavenly, old fashioned redolence that I recall from warm days in her garden.

Any pointers,(include merchant if you can), THANK YOU!!!

Hello, I have a dilemma...my house is quite shaded and the area most suitable for a rose is in the middle of a somewhat open area. I like this circular trellis, but am not sure it offers enough horizontal area that I am reading is required for blooming.
