CWHITT,

Thank you for sharing your experience with Radient Perfume (RP). It looks beautiful based on a Google search. That same search showed that some other growers have experienced fewer than the expected number of blooms with RP, so perhaps you have a particularly successful approach to growing it. Would you be willing to share your secrets of success? I am new at growing roses other than Knockout roses, so I am expecting some challenges, but prefer not to use pesticides. Thank you.

@csandt - I do spread my coffee grounds, banana peels, and egg shells around the base of my roses. The banana peels I try to cover with a little soil though, so the pests wont attack. I seem to get plenty of roses.
