r/Roses

This rose has been here since I moved in, someone else planted it. Not sure the variety. I’m pretty sure it’s some kind of tea rose. Suspecting Chicago Peace but not entirely sure!

It's been great all summer, but really coming out with a show before winter comes in Colorado! Flowers are huge and glorious! Even with drought restrictions and hardly any care it's been a stud all hot summer long

Would love to know more guesses about what this beautiful rose could be. So far I thought maybe Rio Samba (from Google reserve images) or a peace rose of some kind because I saw an earlier discussion of them.
Details: It blooms with a very fragrant flower! Begins bright yellow and fades to pink over time. And it blooms in zone 7a from May to November - kind of amazing!
Looking to find out what it is so I can get more, and to see what other roses might complement it nicely. Thanks team!!

NOTE: I have not snipped, trimmed, or done any of that. She asked me to only pull the weeds**

Long story short, my neighbors rose beds have been extremely overgrown. She asked me to help pull her weeds up as her and her husband are both very elderly and her hubby is currently in the hospital. So I said absolutely! I spent all week confident that I’d do this with ease. Did research ALL WEEK lol. Now that I’ve started. I fear I’ve messed it up? ALSO, there are like, dead, broken off weeds even just all over the bushes… do I pull the broken strays of weeds off?

I did research to make sure I knew the difference between weeds and the actual rose stems or whatever but when I’m up close and personal, I think I may have pulled some of the wrong things up? Lordddd I’m so stressed, can someone tell me if it looks like I’m doing it right? I’ve paused in the middle of it because I started to worry myself too much lol. But here is a before photo and a mid-work photo.

This is my very first time doing this, but I am not a softie so please don’t sugar coat, be upfront with me 😅.

Hi all!

Got my first rose bush this year, and I’ve been super happy with her growth. :) Since that pic was taken, she’s grown another couple feet and definitely needs to be cut back a LOT.

Everything I was reading says that spring is the best time to prune, buuut my rose bush is in a container. If I bring her inside, I’ll definitely need to prune before I do that. Does anyone have tips on if I should overwinter her inside in the container, prune now and bring before the frost, or something else? I know knock outs are super hardy but I want to set her up best for next season :)

Info:
Zone 8a
Tall container resting on soil
Orange glow knock out rose
First frost will be mid November, so roughly a month away

Zone 9a. We had a rough summer and I lost a lot of foliage due to the heat and humidity. Everyone is bouncing back now and flourishing 😍
Rose is “State of Grace”

She would spend time with me daily while I tended to the roses and other plants in my garden but mostly the section with the roses. She passed suddenly in July and I couldn’t bring myself to garden without her. 2 weeks after that, I was supposed to get married and 3 weeks after that, my fiance left me.

I’m finally coming up for air and am so appreciative of how hardy roses are. I finally went to the roses to give them love but find myself still so emotional. I had just planted a rose bush in June for my ex

Gardening with my cat was one of my favorite activities but I’ve been so depressed that I’m slowly getting back into my hobbies. Unfortunately no cat this time though. I got a new one the day my fiance left bc I couldn’t bear the thought of a silent and empty house. Unfortunately she will never garden with me as I’ll never let another cat outside

ETA: the first picture is from our new place where she helped me create a rose garden just as she had done at our last house in the following pics :)

Today’s bloom from my Blue Moon hybrid tea rose. The rain made her petals glow and I had to share her beauty ✨💫😊✨💫

I can’t get over how healthy the foliage is on the Powerpuff Pink rose! While my other roses have had their share of aphids and black spot here in 7b, this one has had zero issues! I think I’ve flicked 1 singular aphid off of this plant. Smells great too. 🌹🌹

Wiitness the morning light gently waking up the layers of this stunning Double Delight, a masterpiece of cream and crimson blooming where every petal tells a story of elegance in my beautiful garden.

I was starting to think that my Olivia Rose would never recover. Zone 8b DFW. Last week I started to see a few small blooms but they all had brown edges (what causes that?) Now, I finally have what I think is just a perfect rose. Just when you think you want to give up on a rose, they give you this.

I’m back with more questions about my inherited rose garden. We moved in last year and the roses and beds had already been tended to which thankfully set me up for a good autumn through spring period.

I’ve got 3 Questions - see below

I think I took pretty good care of all the roses this year. I dead headed religiously and cut back when needed. But after the UK heatwave and September rains the garden is going a bit mental and the roses are still putting out and / or loosing their last set of 3rd blooms.

I know I’m not meant to deadhead heavily (just trim the dead buds off and that’s it) and I’ve been told to leave the buds that will turn into hips.

Question 1: Picture 1 are the spent blooms from the rose bush in picture 2 - I see a bit of red in the centre so I’m not sure if they’ll turn into hips. Do I cut the spent blooms or leave to turn into hips?

Question 2: Picture 3 is a general representation of what most of my other 19 rose bushes look like (including the one in pics 4-6) at the moment - a bit scraggly. I’ve heard I should wait to prune in the winter, so have refrained. Should I leave these as is until then or do a small tidy up?

Question 3: Pictures 4-6 - I’m pretty sure the spent blooms turn into hips on this so I’ve left them (can anyone confirm?) but the rest of the bush is a bit out of control. Should I cut back a bit or am I best to leave it until the big prune in the winter? Theres actually 2 bushes in there if you look closely, but the larger one has completely overtaken the smaller one and I’m not really sure if the small one is going to survive. Its leaves are yellowing and it’s not grown much since the 2nd set of blooms finished. I’m not sure what to do about that one.

If you’ve managed to get to the bottom of this I just wanted to say thank you to everyone in this sub who has been so incredibly helpful during my first year as a new hope owner with a slightly overwhelming garden including a large established rose garden. I’m looking forward to learning more and can’t wait until next spring!

The roses 🌹 are back for another lovely season.

😍
