Darks, what do you do about black spot? My yard is the pits, but we haven't been here, so shouldn't complain. Got several Jackson Perkins roses and they all look bad. Have some wonderful David Austin roses and they look rough. I've got to see to it they get sprayed more often, or something.

WOW, are those your footprints? Looks as if you went out to take the picture and returned inside. It's beautiful and I love the foot prints. How cool is that, wow.

Yes, it has to.
It was a Father's Day gift from my step-daughter, and one of the few things I have left.
But it's survived worse scrapes before.
Like one of the local drugged up kids stepping on it.

You'd better Gran, they say it's killing me. One of the things, anyway. It's a real battle with me, I promise. I think if I could be busy doing something, I wouldn't think of it so much. That's exactly why Bess is watching me. I just had dinner, had it here with you guys, lol, and now she knows I am phening. :) She's right.

I'm glad you aren't sick anymore. I remember how rotten you would feel and still have all that work to do. Your kitchen was just beautiful, year before last. I look forward to seeing the photos this year. Your Summer home photos rock, too.

If they still made it, Ortho Seven rose dust.
But it's no longer made.
So you'll have to get Rose Pride spray, and use that first thing in the morning every morning before full sunlight hits it, or before the morning dew burns off/immediately after the dew is gone.
Rose dust can still be found, but not Ortho's rose dust.
(J&P's always dealt better with Ortho's stuff.)

In the old books, the remedy is to cut off the affected parts.
Not an option usually.
There's rotenone rose dust available at Home Depot, but you can't use it near duck ponds or fish bearing streams.
rotenone will work on the rose, but it will kill fish like mad.
My rose was supposed to be a Blue Girl.
(Originally a J&P patent rose, but J&P don't grow them anymore.)
Unfortunately, it is an odd pink lavendar for some reason.
My J&P Blue Girl from when I was growing up was an honest blue.
But that is probably due to the composition of the soil from my old front yard.
Some insecticidal soaps will also be good against black spot, but offhand I don't remember which ones.

I try to.
But my anger level at Rick, the guy who dug where the rose had been planted, is in the extreme to high range.
He's the guy who forced the potting of the rose.

If I could just get that Al to let me buy some nice Christmas stuff.. He says we haven't got a barn there, and there's little storage space for a collector like me.. sigh..

Night sweety.. You take care.. See you tomorrow..

That's okay.
There's more info elsewhere, and better than mine, but it's not online.
(!!!grrr!!!)
There's an antique book about roses, don't remember the title offhand - I just grab it by sight, and flip through it to what I need.
Currently packed away. *Grrr again*
But it's got ALOT of info that modern books lack, that can still apply even to hardy patent roses that survive almost everything.
Something to do, get some miracle grow for roses, and mix some into a gallon jug of water.
Use the gopher claw to break up the dirt and then water the rose.
Kinda late in the year to do that too often right now.
But it's something I have to worry about right now.
Have a frost going tonight.
*fingers crossed*
God, please let this be okay.
