I didn't know that heat could destroy tender new growth. I have now found this out the hard way as I've lost.. 6? roses (all brand new, all bareroot, all barely had new little bitty leaves on it) when the temps soared to nearly 100 degrees this past weekend. I lost at least 2 red-gold (cheap bodybag roses), Angel Face, a no-tag, Expressions, and possibly City of London I'm going to be very upset if CoL is a gonner.. it was a weak rose w/2 very thin canes (about 1/4" thick) from Pickering (last of the season). If it is, I'll just have to replace it next year.
