zuzu said:Thank you, Jasmin. I'm gradually getting better. The morning attacks are the worst.

I've never been able to grow Angel Face, so I understand what you mean. I tried it grafted and own-root, but it lasted only a year or two before giving up the ghost. I love the bloom, so I also tried growing the climbing version and even a standard, thinking the addition of the "tree" graft would help. Nope. It won't grow here. A couple of my neighbors have had the same problems with it, so it just refuses to grow in our neighborhood.

Maybe it's those oak leaves. We have a lot of scrub oaks (Quercus garryana) in our neighborhood, and their leaves can have allelopathic effects.


It didn't last here either.
