Hi all, hope you are all managing to keep warm in the snow. I've had covid pretty badly and am just returning to the forum, enjoying catching up on posts
I haven't been able to do much in the garden while ill and went out today to catch up with my roses. Is this dieback anything to worry about? The stems were pruned prior to the plant arriving after I bought it last summer, so they're not new cuts. I just can't remember whether the brown part has spread down the stem. Any advice much appreciated.
@BlueBirder can you show us a bit more of that stem.. I would normally look to cut off a bit more than the brown/ yellow part to a node.. now if this is a very short stem you might not find a node to cut down to.. I have still pruned short and got away with it.. or the rose simply produces a new healthy basal... we have a few experienced rosarians here... will see what they have to say about it... If you are expecting freezing temps then I would come back after the climate has settled and take it off..
I only have two yellows. I inherited one, it sat in a bed for three years but never looked happy so I moved it. Then in one year it did this. The other is the replacement, a Celebration rose. I love the changing colour of this as the blooms age.
Lovely yellow roses... so many interesting selections @cooldoc I never know what you're going to come up with next..
@Tack I bet that was a shock.. someone who obviously has a large garden to fill. Did you get the correct plants for yourself?
@Lizzie27 Glad you had a nice time at the event.. a touch disingenuous about blackspot from that speaker.. I had to laugh..but I understand they spray their show gardens, which is understandable..
As for @BlueBirder rose there.. well, I would just snip off those brown dead ends best I could.. the one with the unhealthy looking spot I might actually prune that stem back to a healthy bud.. otherwise I'm not seeing much that would bother me..
..this is for @Nollie Nollie, we spoke about 'Marie Nabonnand' earlier.. and I reported no issues with -8c.. well I might have to amend that, as I've noticed today a touch of dieback on canes that were facing north.. the rest of the plant is fine though.. so against your wall is probably the best bet.. I've not had any issue before this winter, but it's the first real cold one for some time.. I suspect -10/-12 could cause more dieback on this rose..
I pruned these out as I didn't like the look of them..rather woody inside.. ..rest of the plant is fine though.
..'Vanessa Bell' is just gorgeous at its best @Athelas lovely pics.. I did find it needed generous feeding to bring out the best, as with most of those types, but worth it..
.. my garden is looking so colourful and exotic right now.. ..it's really a June garden.. so all is not lost..

It must be possible to develop a rose that, like a Pieris or Photinia, has an interesting, enduring, leaf colour. Perhaps it has already been done.
