Fighting Black Spot On Blaze Climbing Rose - Tutorial Documentary 2011 Part 1

Nice Video. Very matter of fact and even laughed at the airplane flying by, very nice. Let us know how the hot summer is doing on the roses after a wet spring 2011. My knockouts are getting yellow leaves at the moment. Not happy!

@jensymon Thanks. Well mine are just about done I think.. The spray program did little to stop the spread this time. Conditions were just TOO bad. I pruned both of them until all blackspot was gone, then the brand new canes got reinfected. Now there are only about 20 leaves on both of them :( I'm also mad that they have hybridized with my Knockouts and their blooms are pink instead of red. My Knockouts are COMPLETELY undamaged. Wow, I wish THEY came in Blue and Red!

i got a rosebush sitting around still that lost all it's leaves from winter, can i still grow it out again?

[Starbuckin]

@GMSamuelRhine Most Roses loose their leaves in winter... If it was growing well last summer and you left it in the ground, it should come back.

@Starbuckin alright thanks. it was growing great, i had the roses blooming like crazy
