Hall of Shame Roses

Out of curiosity OklahomaDelight where was 'Our Vanilla' purchased from ?

Bruce, Mrs G Hart is still with me, but is struggling

David, I'm of the opinion I'm not stupid, but was referring to others comments from so called experts.

Anyway, the site needs a bit of a razz up but as mentioned I will try to be helpful.

Bruce...do you have some thoughts on this subject?.....

Neptune, I would like to leave that behind me having seen two of the so called experts leave the Forum looking like the cartoon character having scored a duck, leaving the cricket ground trailing a bat.

How are those rose trophy's and ribbons piling up at your place?
What are you showing for best results and how many times a week do you have to spray?

Speaking of spraying I have a Mrs B R Cant at the back just off the path, 6 feet from the back door. I was once a potted rose I grafted for someone who didn't call back.
Well it got loose from the pot, is now 8' tall and extends about 10' along the railing. It has become a home for Blue Wrens we watch daily when having breakfast. I have never seen an Aphid on this bush so leaves and blooms are perfect. No need for sprays here.

Razzing up the site is difficult as I'm not a real rose person now having closed the nursery and invited a couple of people to help by digging them up. Only have about 100 left and someone is coming back this winter to take the rest excluding my favourites. A lot have died this summer as water is so expensive here in Sydney. That's the reason I closed the nursery knowing 2000 roses take a lot of water.

Have given you a few questions to answer so go to it.

Bruce I can guess one of your "so called experts" who is the the other, The one I am thinking lives close to the Victorian border.

David, a gentleman never tells.

My youngest is a litigation Lawyer and never seems to run out of clients, so had better leave it at that.
