@Giddy123 ...oh lovely red rose... might be 'Dublin Bay'... please show again when in full bloom, should be nice..
@jamesharcourt .. I do love the way your front door is framed there... very nice roses, but just to point out in the 2nd picture with the pink rose, I believe you have a sucker growing, that you might want to seek out and remove...
@Marlorena the sucker you speak of is on a rose I bought potted from David Austin last July - and I understood that only their bare root roses were grafted.
So I don't think it is a rootstock sucker as it is grown on it's own rootstock (from a cutting) according to the DA website ...
@Omori ..oh wonderful.. nice to see Mayflower... and your lilac is gorgeous... I also like your high fence in the background.. I heard Wild Edric has a good scent... I should like to have this rose..
@newbie77 ...what a fine arrangement in your teapot like vase... I did not know Olivia was fragrant,, so this is good information... charming photo of two lovely roses..
I have 3 young roses (March-planted bare-roots) with crispy or browned leaf edges. They got soluble Miracle Gro 5 days ago (the 24-8-16 fertilizer, the recommended amount is per 4.5l, I do the same amount in 8l can so it's a little bit over half-strength and use for 3-4 roses). Is it still too much nitrogen for very young roses? All autumn-planted roses are fine.
Edited to add: These are all potted (with manure and compost in the mix) so could be the combination of manure, slow-release fertiliser in the MPC and the liquid fertiliser together is too much.
@jamesharcourt James... here is the photo copied, and I've arrowed to where I'm suspicious about the foliage... perhaps you could take a look at your plant and see what you think.. I may be mistaken.. ...as to DA roses, all their roses are grafted, whether potted or bare root, so all of them have the potential to throw up a wild rose sucker... own root roses such as you referred to, are not offered in this country commercially..
So it’s getting really windy on my balcony.. wind is howling at 19mph and at this height it’s probably more than that.. I braved the wind to stake my ladies of shallot and Emma Hamilton as both of them have thrown out very long canes that’s might break in the wind.. I also decided to sow my tomato seeds whilst I was out there..and now I can’t even feel my nose and cheek from the cold wind.. oh and incidentally I spotted a fire at a nearby construction site while on my balcony and reported it and I even got to see the fireman in action putting it out.. what a day!
@celcius_kkw, If you are planning to grow tomatoes in a container, plan some way to anchor/stabilize pot. I have grown sungold and gardener delight in pots outdoors and used bamboo canes for support. Once toms were tall they used to fall over in wind.
..fierce winds in May can be so destructive, besides drying out already parched ground further... hold on to your hat up there Adrian..
@edhelka ..yes that would seem excessive to me... that formula is best for potted roses, starting off with low dosages... for new in ground bare roots, presumably you would have fed them with usual surface fertilizer mixed in, either initially or when active growth started? .. that would be sufficient until the roses are better established as it's generally slow release...
...potted roses run out of nutrients quickly, hence the liquid feeding at gradual increments with that ratio... interspersing with Tomorite for extra potassium, but for in ground roses, I would be cautious about adding to what we've already put down there, apart from adding a compost mulch, I wouldn't feed again until early June..
..so I suspect the crispy edges are fertilizer burn, but it's not serious and will outgrow it..

I am happy to find Olivia to be fragrant. That was the only rose which i bought even though not described as particularly fragrant.
So I don't think it is a rootstock sucker as it is grown on it's own rootstock (from a cutting) according to the DA website ...
Do you think it should be removed still?
Wild Edric unfurling, smells heavenly:
