Graham Thomas looking bad

19 years ago

The bloom on my Graham Thomas is absolutely one of my favorite roses. I'm growing "him" for the first time: planted last spring and now been with me a year. His canes are about 6 ft long and gangly, and I had planned to grow him around a pillar. But he's dropped all his leaves and looks, well, really bare and bad. He's in a raised bed along with other roses who are all doing just fine, so I can't figure out what's wrong. (The other roses in the bed are Mutabilis, Perle d'Or, Belinda's Dream, Souvenir de St. Anne and Caldwell Pink.) All I can figure is that he REALLY doesn't like the south Louisiana heat and especially the high humidity. We've had a lot of rain the past month or two, but the raised beds usually make that a non-issue. Is GT happier in cooler, drier climes? Ideas? Thanks!
