Very pretty! Those blooms are something else!

Aren't roses great...

Very nice!

Beautiful. I have that rose, too, and love it. However, when I read your title, I thought your neighbor had moved!

TF-well that would be just as great as getting rid of the thrips.

Question---do they make a pesticide for a 5'9 old, bald, nosey, whiner?

Wish I did have a PEST-icide that worked for horrible 'neighbors'.

Beautiful. Well done! :)

Very, VERY pretty! Thanks for sharing them with us, they're great! What did you do to get rid of the thrips, by the way?

Thanks for sharing these, happy gardening!

Grant I have had some really bad expences with thrips specially on my light colored roses, this one in particular.
This year at the start of the season I started using Bayer advanced 2 in 1 w/systemic granuals. I know from the past that systemic works on thrips but it is pretty nasty stuff and you have to time it just right w/spraying. I still have a few here and there but as you can see the roses opened up and are just real nice. Plus this stuff has fert in it too. I also started using it on my privets, thrips like them as well. FYI cant use this stuff on anything you eat. That includes fruit trees.
