earth angels buds cut em?

3 years ago

So I have 6 earth angel bushes that I’m going to be putting in the ground soon. I think they’re probably 2-3 year old bushes from the nursery. It seems like the buds are opening too soon before the flower is ready. Should I cut these off or is this normal for the bushes?

I grow this rose and I don’t see anything unusual here. I loved at some bud pics on Help me Find roses and this looks pretty normal for the rose. Earth Angel has SO MANY petals to unfurl that it just looks different from your spiraling open HT bud.

editing to add a pic that shows buds and blooms in various stages of opening.

I would let them alone. They may open nicely. After a reasonable amount of time waiting and if they have not progressed, then dead head then. Earth Angel has a very cupped bloom and it looks goofy when opening. Any wet weather, and balling up can happen, but I don't think that's happening with yours. Mx Chino, you are the Rosarian that has a magnificent planting of Moonlight In Paris, no? How are they doing? Better every day I bet.
