Two weeks ago I trimmed back all stems that appeared affected by the black spot, and the blooms I just got are small, pale yellow with streaks of pink! Could the stem with these blooms be a reversion to the graft host if this was a grafted rose, as I presume it was??? Will I ever get true blooms again?? Quote \| Reply \| Report

One possible reason could be the dominate rose taking over. It could also be, the lateness of the season. I don't know what the weather has been like there, but ours has been unusually cool, with short periods of high temps, Little or no rain, except for the past 2 or 3 weeks. All in all a real bad growing season, an especially bad one for roses.... Quote \| Reply \| Report
