You have roses blooming already??? You lucky Frog!!!! Beautiful. I love roses. I really have to stay on top of them controlling the blackspot, which was really bad last year. Had to spray them alot!!! I had to replace a rose bush this year, approx 35 years old and a Peace rose I assume. It was here when we moved in. The past 2 years it has been going downhill. I called J&P to order a new rose and ended up buying 5!!! So far they look great, leafing out nicely. I do have a beautiful Rio Samba that I have pics of taken last year.
Froggy, Thank you for the rose pics Wow you have roses already! Yikes all of mine are really full and there are buds but nothing blooming yet. Probably another month to go. rose pics from last year for you, Happy day
Sharon, I love your Rio Samba! Beautiful color I've never seen one, thanks.
My Peace died this year too. I've had it for years. Moved it from my last house. It never was hardy. I think the new Peace roses are more disease resistant.
her's Glowing Peace from last year. I managed to kill it this year. RIP
