The same here seil, thank you for taking a look.

Sorry to see that Patty. I know it hurts after a long winter seeing your spring blooms got damaged. What about BioNeem spray? The weather is still cool enough to spray BioNeem. BioNeem works for both thrips and midge, but you have to spray it every 10 days. That's considered as organic treatment.

Same here Patty & Seil...Getting pounded by thrips and to much rain this season...

I'm going to try using Spinosad and release Beneficial Nematodes into the soil for thrips...Blue cups just not enough this year...

Hi Patty, here's that (1 gallon) own root Fiji rose I planted from HR last year in July...It just refuses to grow much and refuses to set a bud so I can see a bloom so I know its Fiji...lol... Stubborn...lol

Boy, I would not be happy. If the year warranty is not up yet I 'd call heirloom. The only thing I can think of is there is a root problem. My Lady of Shallot did that in its second year when I finally dug it up the roots had not grown. They were black and cruddy. Nothing I could do but throw it away.

Patty, very "thrippy" here in Kentucky. Most of my blooms/buds are going in the garbage. A couple of days ago, I could see them outside in swarms, at least that is what I think. My blue cups probably need to be resprayed. I have seen the dark spots on some of my buds, too. A few buds look like a caterpillar has eaten on it and some leaves have the markings of sawfly larvae. Powdery mildew is a problem on some of my roses...it never ends. Good luck!
