Notice I said "bushes" not roses; as the ugly stuff was on the foliage—not the blossoms. I had love- ly blossoms which won many ribbons in our Gar- den Club Flower Show the first of May. The long winter and unusually long spring with all the rain brought black spot, mildew and rust. The only roses not affected by all that disease were my Hybrid Musks and Rugosa. After that first bloom I slaughtered my rose bushes; stripping them down to bare stems and cleaning all the debris from under them. They looked so naked—just bare stems. That was just for a couple of weeks, then the new growth start- ed coming. Now they are all filled out again and Sexy Rexy, Sheer Magic, Miss Behavin’, Gemini, Ronald Reagan and Rio Samba do their thing. These are still small have new buds/blooms. In this second flush of growth leaves and flowers were smaller than usual, but plentiful. I’ve had a couple of fatalities; I lost two miniature roses due to the double stresses of disease and heat. Disease control, food, and water are critical. Stripping the leaves was a fearless move. Roses—any plant for that matter—need their leaves, in whatever form they come, for the photo- synthesis process. This very complex process is required for plant growth. I was amazed at the recovery power of my roses. In spite of all the dis- ease, I started a new rose garden this year. Rather than move existing roses into this new area I ended up getting more roses! In March I put in four test roses I bought from Jack- son & Perkins. It has been fun record- ing their progress. They are doing very well. At one time #4, which I call Lauren’s Rose—after my younger granddaughter), had 27 buds/blooms on it. I’d call that a prolific rose! I also received six new roses as a Mother’s Day gift from my youngest son Marty & his family. What fun to watch but Rio Samba is already pumping out blossoms. My friend Shonna Huf- nagel won a blue ribbon with her vivid vivacious (It just spoke to me.) Rio Samba and I had to have one. Don’t let disease and heat stop you from planti- ng and caring!
