RE: No blooms!! -Reply -Reply

Hi Mia,

I was going to suggest to you to check out the
roses that were bred in South Carolina, US -- bred
somewhere maybe similar to your climate, hot, dry,
humid.  But for the life of me I can't think of the rose
classification name.  I'm at work, catalogueless!!! 
Someone out there can help me out (ahem, like
maybe you Carleen ;-) ).  They're mentioned in
Heirloom's catalogue, only about 7-8 roses in the
class, but one of them may be something like
Champlain's Pink Cluster?  Sorry, I've been out of
the garden mode a few months and into the
cooking mode.  Only so much room in the head.

For mine is just a little old-fashioned garden where
the flowers come together to praise the Lord and
teach all who look upon them to do likewise.

Rose do well here as long as they get plenty of sun
and water.Where I live
in Brisbane, which is a northern state,It is a little
more difficult than in
somewhere like Melbourne Where I am originally
from.Its much warmer here and
more humid.I have trouble with blackspot and I have
powdery mildew only on
my Mal Maison.But it is quite severe.I will try the
spray from Carleen.
It never freezes here!!!I think our climate is like
Florida.The
aforementioned Mal Maison has tons of blooms on
it.I wish I had a scanner,
so I could show you all!!
Bye for now
Mia
