August 29, 2019Q.Why are there white spots and holes on my rose leaves?
Basically, my workplace decided to put me (the receptionist) in charge of watering and taking care of the roses and other plants out front. While I enjoy this, it's a totally new experience for me. We just moved into our newly built and landscaped business about three weeks ago. Unfortunately I began to see these white spots and holes develop. I know this would typically be attributed to rose slugs, but I haven't seen any when inspecting the undersides of the leaves. Is there another explanation for this? I also noted that it is only the plants on the front of the building that are affected. These are in the shade all morning and part of the afternoon while the unaffected plants are in full sun most of the day. Thank you for your time on this!

Certified ExpertA.Not sure what part you are referring to as the stool, but yes, dead or damaged stems can be cut back after replanting the shrub.

September 2, 2019Q.Weed trees among old rose bush and bushes
Hi! We just bought a 1950 home a year ago. There has been deferred gardening for about eight years. I have a vintage rose bush growing in the back yard but it is has a least four weed trees growing through the middle of it. Is there anyway that I can save the rose but get rid of the trees? The same thing is happening in an old bush. Thank you for any advise you can give me. The trunks of these trees are deep and some bigger than an inch around...

Certified ExpertA.I would carefully cut the weed trees out bit by bit and cut them off level with the ground. If you can without touching the rose bush, paint weed killer onto the cut. I wouldn't try to dig the roots up because you will disturb the rose's roots. If the weed trees keep trying to grow back just keep cutting them level to the ground and eventually they should stop.

September 5, 2019A.I would let them do their thing and bloom. You could add some super thrive to the water you water them with to help them deal with any shock or stress though. It is a fine vitamin tonic type product that is available at most garden centers and wal-mart.

I planted these in July. I had some new soil so I waited about 2 weeks. I mixed my old and new soil together then I planted these. All of a sudden they look like they're dying. I watered them because we have had so much heat and humidity. Can you help ? I may have sent duplicate pictures Let me know cause if I didn't send the right ones, I will. Thanks Kathi Kaegi kkaegi@centurytel.net

Certified ExpertA.Anything you plant in midsummer needs to be kept well watered since it's usually the hotest time of the year. I didn't get the photos, so not sure what is going on.
Here is a fact sheet about OSO Easy roses, so you can see the care required.
