Terri ...
I kept track of which roses bloomed when in the spring by taking photos. I dis-bud my whole garden to keep the rose curculios from breeding in the garden. The dang bugs have to find my garden and that gives me about four weeks for a first flush. Not all of the roses have dropped their sepals before the first curculio finds my garden and I have to dis-bud all of the roses.
I wanted to find out which ones were later bloomers so that I could just dis-bud them early and didn't have to deal with them during the three days it takes me to dis-bud all of the roses. It will give me a head start and make the whole task easier.
The only thing I have blooming, or I should say "growing" in my garden right now is weeds ...
We haven't had our below freezing night temps, so they are growing like mad instead of being frozen and dead.
Smiles,
Lyn
