Re: rose/crab apple rust and Japanese Beetles

I'm resending this as I keep forgetting to change the subject and more 
members might have their interest piqued if we get some topics going:

Hi, Mary...

So far, the Jap. beetles don't seemed to undermine the health of my roses but 
I suppose it's possible that they could carry some pathogen that could do so 
and perhaps that also might affect other plants/trees, etc. I haven't heard 
that crab tree rust affects roses but you may want to check our archives as I 
do recall that being discussed. I'd give you that address but I can't put my 
hands on the info...go to mallorn.com and you should find it there under the 
rose-list.

Some crabs are prone to rust and it always aggravates me to see nurseries 
still merrily selling those varieties. I don't have that particular problem 
but I do have a terrible suckering problem, which may be a graft scion 
problem and not a specific species. Since we're off topic here, I'd best put 
a lid on this discussion. ;-P

Wish someone else would jump in...I asked a couple of weeks ago if anyone had 
had particularly good luck or bad luck with particular roses or kinds of 
roses, but no one answered. We may have this list all to ourselves, Mary. 
Hmmm. Wonder how we can smoke some members out? :->
