Mine is looking a little less wonderful because I've been neglecting it this year. Next year that entire bed will be moved forward and my life will be much easier. There will be access from the back and my roses will be directly exposed to rain. Maybe then I'll be looking at some blackspot, but I haven't had that problem yet. I hope I don't: I'm bad at regular upkeep...Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04600030574995481267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28009634.post-16671911038285139642008-07-31T10:38:00.000-04:002008-07-31T10:38:00.000-04:00Great image.

I love roses and have 11 different roses in the front garden, but I've come to realise that desease resistant is a label that should not be applied to roses. In Devon it does not matter what the rose is, it will get black spot or rust or mildew or even a combination :D <BR/>Anyone would think I have shares in systemic fungicides. Does anyone have this problem?<BR/>I'm currently updating my website, which shows various plants in the front and rear courtyard garden.<BR/>Visit <A HREF="http://www.anje.co.uk/garden.html" REL="nofollow" TITLE="Anje Yelf's website"> Anje Yelf's website</A>.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28009634.post-1150331416489456872006-06-14T20:30:00.000-04:002006-06-14T20:30:00.000-04:00Thanks so much for the clarification!

It's happened to me more than once that the name on the label and the plant I actually got were two different things. Or maybe it's a question of climate. Someday, when I know everything, I'll explain it all... ;o)Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04600030574995481267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28009634.post-1150283988797472542006-06-14T07:19:00.000-04:002006-06-14T07:19:00.000-04:00Sigrun probably WAS growing the rose we English sp...Sigrun probably WAS growing the rose we English speakers know as the floribunda 'Iceberg'. Hybridized by Kordes in Germany (1958), the official name is Schneewittchen. Unfortunately, there's a much older rose (a polyantha) that carries the same name. I've often wondered why Iceberg has such universal acclaim.

Do try the Iceberg instead of Schneewittchen. I think you'll find it much easier. You can try spraying with a baking soda solution instead, if you prefer. Do it weekly and after rains before you start having problems.
