his subtle way of thumbing his nose at the inanity found there. I would hope
so, anyway.
Take a look at the thread from the guy who wants folks to figure up for him

Folks who find it difficult to figure out what 1/3 means, should not
be anywhere near poisonous chemicals. <g>
When it comes to noticing the general low level of brain activity in
the world, I just can't be very surprised anymore. I was watching the
Jay Leno 'Jaywalking' segment one night not too long ago, and nobody
that he asked could name a country that bordered the United States.
Don't forget that the old TV show 'Gomer Pyle' was rated number one

was a shining role model for many. <g>

If you ever want to know about Rose Rosette, you should have come to us for
the information about this disease first instead of wasting your time at
Garden Web.

As another off topic reinforcement to this example my
husband works in Maine, at a high school, and we live
in Canada--about 15 minutes from his work. One time
he was giving a speech to a group of students from
another school further down south in Maine, about
a 2 hour drive from the border, with his own students in
attendance. One kid from the other school, upon finding
out Rob was from Canada, asked if he was related to
this guy the kid knew from Canada.
My hubby assumed the guy must have had the same last
name or something.
Nope, totally different last name. Rob said, " Oh yeah,
we are all related in Canada." without batting an eye.
Some of his kids smirked, but this kid (17 years old)
actually believed him! Yeah and we all live in igloos,
hang out with Bob and Doug McKenzie and everyone
speaks french, without exception.
Duh.
Laura -- still baffled why it is so difficult for many
Americans to learn a teenie, tiny, eensie, weensie, bit
of non-US history/and or politics. I mean, I was forced
to learn some US history, European, etc...

I went to your site, and the photos there of plants with Rose Rosette
are very unclear, they just look like wilted plants, and they do not
show the extreme thorniness that the photo in the Gardenweb post showed,
so the question remains.

***Excuse me, but the Garden Web is not a place I go to for information.
HOWEVER, someone posted, right here on RGR, a most vivid photo of rose rosette
disease. It looked *exactly* like what I had on a couple of my roses last fall,
so I wanted to check it out. I read the thread and found it interesting, which
is more than I can say for information on rose rosette disease on RGR. So, what
can you tell me about this disease? If it shows up again on these two roses,
must I destroy the roses?

It was July. After Father's Day, that's when it would have been. Father's

definitely wasn't early. everybody has early leaves, even the moldiest
swampies. Blanc double bloomed today, Hansa probably tomorrow. Foetida
has the first splatters all over. Planted 5 roses today. One hole.

First things first, I wear solid color socks, when I wear shoes. Generally
my feet go nakid as I like to wear sandals.
I'll try to get better pictures for my website later this spring when I
visit the sites north of Reno where I found Rose Rosette last year. The GW
site picture is great as it shows great detail on the thorns, short
internodal spaces of the stems/leaves, and the red coloration of the
stems/thorns. My pictures just show the witches broom appearance of the rose
stems. Unfortunately the Canada thistles nearby were shedding their seeds
and that's the what stuff you see on the picture.
You might want to have some of the stems that show the thorniness looked at
as the presence of the blister mites is the key factor in diagnosing rose
rosette. They are very tiny but you can see them around the rose tips.
Chances are that your roses are very healthy and there is nothing to worry
about ...........my recommendation. However, if they are infected, there is
no cure and you just have to dig them up and use them for firewood or toss
them in the trash can. Insecticidal soap or horticultural oil works great on
blister mites.

GW years ago in L.A. on a Hoover Climber. Every year in the
spring when it got new basal breaks one or two of them would
get the thorns and some times the cane instead of being
round was oval and way wider then thick. Very odd looking
foliage also. Would prune back to where it was round or
clear to the bud union. The rest of the year all growth was
normal. That climber was near 18 years old when we left L.A.
and still growing strong. Have seen that kind o growth on
several roses in present garden but none as often at on that
climber. Those canes also grew very fast and if not cut off
usually started dying in a month or two. Too much nitrogen
may even cause this in the spring and I did feed the
climbers double to triple the amount given to non climbers.

!! I've been threatening to take its pic all day.
Fimbriata, right across from it, bloomed today. So we'll be assaulted with
fragrance every time we go out to the barn. It's criminal. This is most
definitely starting out to be the best year on record.
Buds everywhere, no late frost blackness anywhere. No crispy frieds anywhere.
It's never happened before, since I started doing this thing here.
Today I planted an entire virgin garden and finished up planting the old one.
Took a whole bunch of tomatoes, chiles, tomatillos and phlox from the greenhouse
and put them in the ground. Then I laid down the anti-dog devices, went into
the house and hit the button.
So now it's time for a good cup of Starbucks and a little break.
I picked up my token AARS rose--Gemini, and also picked out a bustingly
healthy looking Pink Peace, a rose I am positive will not let me down.
>Zone 9, not even a real frost this year.
I figure your climate must be similar, barring the regular freezes we have.
Profound, huh?
When that doesn't happen, we just like you. heh.
There are things about rose
>timing and dormancy that I need to know more about. So are your apple
>trees just about at the end of the bloom cycle too?
si. Granny Smith is the last blaster, it's loaded now. The pear tree's always
my fave.
The quince is amazingly still lit up bright red--it has to be the longest
blooming of any of these units, started about a month ago. Really sparkles.
Don't remember seeing any plum explosion--the plum tree is still
a 'baby' though. There are some plum trees up by NM Tech that just knock me
over. Had to have some of that here. The potentilla's awake now. That's
always been one of the most fascinating for me. I meant to get some geum this
year but spaced it. Had it for awhile, was most delightful. :)/~

That's another great thing about having a nice thick golf green
lawn to walk on between the roses. Of course this doesn't altogether stop

Lagerpeter never looked like this. But then it's not supposed to. :)
That's actually a Stainless Steel creeping into the pic there. Some kind of

and getting big in the process.

Radio collar stuff? My best dog devices are the pruned canes laid on the
ground where I don't want them to run. Stopped them from running down
the little rosies until I laid the mulch on top of them by mistake. Then
the dogs ran down the little rosies. Today when I exhumed the rootstock
(the scion was wiped out by one ball-mad dog), I found that the canes
had swollen bud eyes and one end was trying to root. So I stuck it back
under the mulch.

Me too. I snagged my first HT last week -- a drugstore store special in
a 5 gal. pot -- Peace, from Weeks. Its a keeper. I wanted to post a nice
picture for Bill with the measuring tape showing the blooms 5.5 inches
across, but my camera doesn't do yellow with pink edges very well.

I thought I had a dead one--a rather small unit-- but ended up replanting it
with Pink Peace. I'll probably dig this one up and put it in a pot. I
planted Charlotte Anne in the ground two years ago, then dug it up and repotted
it. Grew it til it got decent sized, now it has a great home up against the
greenhouse.

However, I have had dealings with White Rabbit and the consequence includes
some fine roses.
More to the point, however, Alice has provided this rgr with some great
services including the
VRS t-shirt, and the expediting and shipment of the latest BCD book and the
individualized book plates
which were a source of great pleasure and helped to bring the rgr people
closer together. It may be
that the circumstances of association do not permit those kind of actions in
the foreseeable future, but
the services should not be forgotten because of poor institutional
memory....

***Yuck! I can't stand wool socks, itch, itch, itch. However, I admit to
wearing them when skiing or something like that. But.....I always make sure I
have cotton socks on underneath the wool ones. I don't know how you stand it.

***Uh, no, I think it's been at least 10 years or so. Do you really think this
is necessary? Tetanus is soil borne, isn't it? The thorns that end up in my
feet aren't from the dirt - they come from fresh prunings that I've dropped here
and there in the grass.

***Okay, if those crazy looking canes come back, I'll cut off one and take it to

I have multiflora seedlings growing here......I'm afraid they might make me

It could get in through the wound, even though it's small and I don't think Bactine
will cut it. The shot is a very good idea, the alternative is not pretty.

Five years is recommended if you're around horse stuff.

Yeah! Listen to meeeee! Now about that brother of yours, if he's not an older
brother (middle-aged or so), does he like older women <grin, leer>

sandal-hatin's husband's chagrin. El doctore told me tetanus shot every 10
years for stuff you get jabbed with in the house; every 5 years for stuff you
get jabbed with outside--including stuff that's around horse manure.

I originated the thread in response to a spate of inquiries
about rosarian ages, occupations, locations and sleeping habits.
As I said in a followup, sometimes you have to
fish really deep when trolling, but occasionally they
just jump right in the boat, even on RGR.

As far as facts about tetanus go, they never laid a glove on me.

attacks wasn't really worth much in that thread, was it? Or, a subsequent
few posts. Seems the forum is "moderated" only when one of Spike's holy
cows is bar-b-q'd. Pretty deceptive on GW's part. At least here, you

Lord only knows what he was thinking at any time, but being one who prefers
cats, there have been a lot of funerals I've been to that I would have
preferred the company of a dog.
