Love this, issues with roses happen to everyone. Where did you get your arbor? I can only find flimsy ones.

Just saw your video and like your approach about DA roses. I have a lot of DA roses, and I find some are better suited in my humid 9A zone than others. I also have James Galway, which started out very promising but struggling at the moment. He was planted at a place where a former climber was, and I was wondering if he is suffering from Rose Replant Disease. Have you heard of this. Have you planted another rose plant at the same spot where a former rose plant was dug up and found the new plant struggling to grow? They call this Rose Replant Disease.

I’m not familiar with rose plant disease and will have to look into it now that you mention it. I did have a rose several years ago that had rose rosette and did not replant with another rose in that spot for fear that it would return.

@@heatherhereshegrows You shouldn't worry about planting another Rose bush where a former rose bush was removed because of RRD. RRD is caused by a virus carried by mites. So you should spray with organic pesticides like Spinosad during the growing season when mites are present and reproducing. I have an organic garden and found out about Spinosad this growing season and is a God send. I’m battling with thrips at the moment, and they were literally sucking the life out of my plants. Two treatments with Spinosad later, they bounced back and bloomed like crazy.

Where did you get the Sweet Fragrance rose?

Woldhuis Farms/Sunrise Greenhouse in Grant Park, IL. About an hour south of Chicago. Very worth the ride!
