Thanks Steve! I love the new roses ... this year I have had so much luck with them... but I have so much black spot on some roses like Variegata di Bologna that I am amazed! never had it until this year... it was such a great rose... I am surprised... but it's life ... our very hot & humid summers have that problem...
Toni, I never got roses on ebay... I am going to look at it...
Few things I noticed this year: very few aphids - specially the black horrible looking ones... they went to the Black eyed Susans that are planted next to the roses! really amazing!
My healthier roses are the ones that have thyme and chives planted next to them...
maybe I am finally learning!
