  • Posted by lovesblooms (Maryland - Zone 7a) on Feb 2, 2015 8:54 PM concerning plant:
    I bought a grafted rose, so it was already a nice size when it got here. I planted in a new bed of clay amended with leaf compost, watered and fed regularly for the first few months of spring, then left it alone, except...

    ... when it got black spot. It spotted a little bit and I sprayed it with my home made mix and it went away, but then it came back and just kept coming back even though I tried to spray, until it had lost a lot of its new leaves and I gave up and it was just sticks. It gave us two huge, gorgeous, fragrant magenta blooms before it was "pruned" rather drastically by deer and never recovered enough to produce more.
