» Carol Wallace - Balling of buds
I guess some roses that are extremely susceptible tot his will ball even if we have a lot of rain? Not that this has been a problem this year - but my 'Abraham Darby' rose has always been susceptible to balling - mostly during its first flush of spring bloom, which usually follows a lot of rain. It didn't ball much at all this year - but then rain wasn't a "problem." ;-)-- posted by Carol Wallace
» Mark_Whitelaw - No more!
Carol,I shovel pruned, replanted into a container, and donated for sale to my local rose society the last rose in my garden susceptible to balling. Never again! {g}

» WilliamG - Several of my roses will "ball" on occasion ...
Hello Mark,I have a couple that will ball up on me but not enough to worry with. The Cramoisi has done that as well as the Belinda's Dream. I either clip the blooms or leave them on the bush.
I have lost a couple of my miniatures in pots where the leaves have turned dirty brown and limp then dropped off completely. The canes on a couple of them are still green so I have hope of a resurgence. It didn't look like any of the described maladies in your articles. The roses affected were all in pots and this has happened through this recent heat wave.

» Mark_Whitelaw - Texas roses
William,I think this year was a very bad year for all roses here in Texas. Between the wet spring, terribly dry summer and extremely hot August, most of the roses in my yard look very, very tired and ready for fall.
