    I like to keep an eye on the soils moisture with a moisture meter. Probe down into the soils in three locations around each rosebush. Water as need during the warmest part of the day so that the water will get down well to the root system and be taken up by the roots well. If you have along of windy days, check the soils moisture often as that really sucks the moisture up out of the soils. Here is a winter care article link for you as well: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/roses/roses-winter-care.htm

    Hi Cloie. Rose Rosette Disease is caused by a virus that is spread by a little mite, at least that is the latest theory. What I recommend is tilling up the soils where they were planted. Rake it well with a hard toothed rake and remove all pieces of root matter. Then till again and do the same. Spray the soils and area around the rose bed with a good miticide. You could even till the soils one more time and rake well. Let sit for two to three weeks after spraying with the miticide. Then decide if you want to replant with disease resistant rosebushes of other plants. I personally would replant with some nice shrub roses or floribunda roses.

    Search for "Mr Lincoln Rose plants' on a search engine such as Google.
    Also check Ebay, they can be a good source for plants.

    Inquire are your local garden centers and greenhouse. They may be able to special order you plants or help you locate a source.

    Hello and thanks for your question. It sounds like you have a nasty case of Spider Mites on your roses. One of the tell-tale signs is that webbing you mention. They live by sucking the juices out of the leaves. Get enough of them and they will destroy the foliage. Here is a link to an article I wrote about getting them under control: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/roses/rose-spider-mites.htm Please do let me know how things go.

    When my bareroot rosebushes arrive from the place I ordered them from, I soak them overnight in a 5 gallon bucket that I have also placed a Moo-Poo tea bag in. This gives the root system a little organic nutrition while the roots bring moisture back into them. I do not fertilize the newly planted rosebushes until they have leafed out and have set buds that will be growing to turn into bloom smiles. Then I feed them with half the recommended amount on the bag or container for the first feeding, as feeding them too heavily will discourage the roots from growing out and seeking food and other nutrients. The Moo Poo tea that I have soaked them in over night is used to help water them in after planting them at a point when the planting hole is about half full of soils. I have a big watering can that I fill with water with some Super Thrive in it that I used to water them in a bit once completely done planting them. These two things provide them with a bunch of nutrients that go a long way in helping with transplant shock and getting them to break dormancy and get to growing. The moo poo tea bags can be purchased either from this link I wil provide or can now be purchased through Amazon.com. Link: > http://www.manuretea.com/category/manure-tea/

    It sounds like you have some hardy cut roses there. I will attach a link to an article I wrote on rooting cuttings for you. Link: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/roses/roses-from-cuttings.htm Since having written the article I have also found a rooting gel compound called Olivia's Cloning Gel to be an excellent product for getting the cuttings to take root.
