How come I got a yellow rose on a red rose bush?

I've had this rose bush for several years, and it's always produced red roses.

How come I got a yellow rose on a red rose bush?
sometimes roses do this. if you don't want the yellow and red prune the yellow branch off to remove.





this is called a 'sport' and sometimes you can propogate if it is excellent and start a new rose variety. this is what happened to 'Iceberg' roses. a white Iceberg rose suddenly had a branch with a pink flower and a new variety was created. Now sold all over the world.
Reply:i have no idea, but your question made me laugh and reminded me of the "we're painting the roses red" song from disney's alice in wonderland. maybe it has something to do with pollination?
Reply:Could a shoot have come up from the rootstock? Roses are usually grafted onto a sturdy rootstock of a different variety.
Reply:Genetic mutation or it has gotten pollen from another rose nearby from a bee.
Reply:Cross pollenation.
Reply:it got pollen from a yellow rose bush

How long does it take for rose Bushes to grow?

My mom and I just bought Climbing Rose and Tea Rose bushes, how long will it take to grow?

How long does it take for rose Bushes to grow?
Climbers grow rapidly and can reach 8' in one season. As for the tea rose you will see growth by the end of the season but it will take around 3 seasons to reach mature height. However, even though tea roses grow slower, you will be able to enjoy the blooms before they reach mature height. One way to encourage good growth and lots of blooms is to prepare you site well. Dig a hole that is about 24"X24". Throw out bottom soil and save the top soil. Put a layer of manure in the bottom of the hole and layer some top soil mixed with some peat and bone meal. Make sure the top of the container soil is a little above ground level and water at lease every other day for the next two weeks and then once a week after that. Be sure to water early in the morning and only at the root ball because roses hate water and can suffer from mildew or mold if the leaves don't get a chance to dry. This is especially true for the tea rose because they are most susceptible to disease. Good luck with your roses.





Another important thing to remember is to loosen the roots after removing from the container. If the roots are growing in a circle around the root ball then pull them apart so they will grow into the soil and not continue around the root ball.
Reply:im not sure but i think its 3-6 weeks
Reply:they usually don't start doing much untill their roots start to get established! could be a day or two or as long as a month! give it time and u will be rewarded greatly!

What is wrong with my rose plant, it seems to be dying? Is there anything to be done?

About three weeks ago my rose bush (it came with my home when I purchased it two years ago, so it is at least 3 years old; it is about 2 ft in diameter and 3 ft high) budded and bloomed beautifully. Almost immediately, the front half's leaves turned yellow with brown spots, the blooms fell off, the leaves then fell, and the branches turned dark brown. The back half seemed unphased, but this week, it too started the same disintergration. No other plants around the rose seem impacted and I want to keep it that way. I water regularly and it gets great sun. This did not happen last year and nothing has changed regarding light or soil. I hope answers include remedies--that is I hope there is a remedy (the more natural the better) and that you kind folk inform me of what to do to save this great plant. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What is wrong with my rose plant, it seems to be dying? Is there anything to be done?
It sounds like the dreaded Black Spot to me. It is a fungal disease and is spread from leaf to leaf and plant to plant by splashing water. The first thing is to stop the spread by cleaning all the leaves and debris from around the plant and to pick all the infected leaves off. There are several anti fungals on the market to help fight the disease. Immunox is one I hear is good. I use Bayer Advanced care and am getting good results. Bayer Advanced is a systemic application the goes through the plant to stop the disease. I have heard the milk mixed 7:1 with water helps kill the fungus, but it works best if you start early in the spring before the plants show damage. Also companion planting with Parsley planted around the roses help (plus it looks pretty). In the spring, give the bush a hard pruning and start out treating it for Black Spot as soon as new growth appears. Be sure to cut out any dead or diseased branches. Always be careful when watering your bushes to avoid wetting the leaves and always water in the early morning . Black Spot can kill the bush if it gets hit hard for a couple years in a row. Good luck
Reply:Sounds like a bit too much water.
Reply:Madam M's suggestion to take a sample of the damage to the Plant Clinic at the local Extension Service is the better solution. Also check to see if there is a Rose Society near you. If there is, they too will be able to offer expert advice.
Reply:from experience ,every time a rose blooms ,and you finished enjoying ,clip the tip of the rose (the old rose) and keep doing this all yr around ,i counted this yr i had a bush with 25 roses one time ,i had people asking me ,how i managed such bush .


I got it from Martha Stewart.


it works .

Reply:Mine the braches die then next year they grow back and die again. I don't know what it's problem is. Sometimes if you spray bug repellent i gets on the leaves and kills the plant.
Reply:It is the middle of winter, they die back at this time of year.


You haven't mentioned any pruning so wait until the last frosts and then prune.


Always chop off the dead buds through out the year as that encourages new blooms.


I do it weekly and whilst I have snow and frosts I can already see where the growth will begin.





If you are truly concerned, take some cuttings both good and bad into a garden nursery and consult them.
Reply:Roses in general are really tough. Maybe you are watering it too much. Cut back on the water -- unless you live in a desert, you may not need to water it artificially at all.





My roses like a little calcium, too, so I put seashells at the foot of the roses, and the rainwater carries the calcium down.





You can take pictures/leaf samples to your county extension agent, and get really good advice. The county extension number should be in the phone book.





Blooming really seems to stress roses out, though. If you give it a little time, it should bounce back.

QUESTION FOR ROSE LOVERS; Can roses be planted in a container and transplanted in the fall?

I have a bare root rose that is being transplanted from another home to mine. The ground is too wet to plant and I'm afraid that if I wait it will damage the root. If I plant it in a large container will it be safe to replant in the fall?

Yes!
Reply:I can't imagine how the ground being wet could be a bad thing..unless ur thinking it will wash away?





But yes...you can put it into a nice pot with good soil and amendments and it will be fine as long as it gets good care and sunshine. Roses are really very hardy plants after all.
Reply:yes no problem-with ground being wet thats a plus can plant now

Try your local ethnic grocery stores.
Reply:any good arab or greek market should have rose water, many indian markets too. do you mean chamagne vinegar? or champagne verjus (unfermented juice)
Reply:For rose water go to any Arabic or Persian grocery store. Just remember, if you are using it in food (I have heard of some people washing their face with it) use a little at a time to taste, because too much can taste gross. As for champagne extract try a specialty food store like Cost Plus or any other that has imported foods.

How can I get the smell of Rose Water out of my Refrigerator?

Almost 2 years ago, I put Rose Water in an ice tray and put it in my freezer, because I had heard of a beauty secret where you take the rose ice cubes and rub your face with them to shrink the pores.





Well anyhow, my refrigerator has smelled like strong Rose Water ever since. Everything I put in there comes out smelling like roses, and even tasting that way. It smells like cheap perfume or something.





I've washed it, used baking soda. I don't know how to get rid of the smell!

How can I get the smell of Rose Water out of my Refrigerator?
Empty the fridge and wash it down with bleach/water mix....The smell has absorbed into the plastic. refil the fridge. Should take about 20 minutes and your food should be still good. frozen goods should go in a cooler
Reply:Lime
Reply:Normally, an open small box of baking soda left in your fridge or freezer sucks out the smell. Also, remove and clean the source of the smell. Covering food before putting it in the fridge keeps the smell from contaminating other food.

Can you grow a rose bush from a rose hip?

The rose bush that the rose hip is on is a red rose bush and was transplaneted to my yard at the begining of the month. The rose hip is almost ripe.

Can you grow a rose bush from a rose hip?
You can't grow a Bush out of a rose. Try out of a Cactus.
Reply:Yes.To harvest the seeds from a rose plant, cut the hips from the plant, wash them and cut them in half with a knife. The round to oval , slightly pointed white seeds can be easily removed. There may be 1-50 seeds per hip. Next, wash the seeds in a kitchen strainer. Although rose seeds can be sown as soon as they are harvested, germination is usually more successful if they are placed in the refrigerator in an airtight container between layers of moist sphagnum peat moss for 6-8 weeks before sowing. This process, known as stratification, simulates the cold of a natural winter, priming the seeds to sprout. After the cold treatment, use tweezers to remove the seeds from the peat moss. Before sowing, you may wish to test them for viability, or the ability to germinate. To do this, place them in a container of water. Those that are not viable will float to the top and can be discarded. Seedlings often succumb to a disease known as damping off, caused by one or more fungi that are present in most garden soils. Seedlings that have succumbed to damping off suddenly wilt and fall over. There is no cure for this so, prevention is the only remedy. Use a sterilized, soilless sowing mixture. Sow the seeds in a wide, shallow container filled with about 4" of the medium at a depth of about a 1/4". Rose seeds germinate best under greenhouse conditions. If you do not have a greenhouse, cover the seed flats with clear plastic or glass to keep the medium moist and the humidity high until the seeds germinate. If condensation forms on the plastic or glass, remove it for a few minutes to dry slightly and to prevent disease. Rose seeds germinate beat at temperatures between 50 and 55 deg. F. but will germinate at temps as high as 60 deg. Place the flats in bright light but not full sun for as many hours as possible, or keep them 6-10" below fluorescent lights that are kept on continuously until the seeds germinate. Germination time can take from 3 weeks to 4 months or longer. When you see short stems with 2 seed leaves called cotyledons, remove the plastic or glass and move the containers into as many hours of full sun as you can provide. Or place under fluorescent lights. Check them every day to see if the medium is dry and if they need water. Avoid watering in any way that will dislodge or uproot the seedlings. A very fine mist or spray is ideal. Once your seedlings are growing, ensure steady growth by adding soluble fertilizer such as 20-20-20 or 15-30-15 to the water once a week at 1/4 the recommended strength. When seedlings have produced 3 sets of compound leaves, they're ready to transplant into individual pots. First moisten the medium in the original container then fill 2" peat pots with moistened growing medium and make a hole the depth of the roots at the center of the pot. Gently lift out the tiny plants, disturbing the roots as little as possible. Holding the seedling by the leaves (never by the stem) gently place into new pot and firm the medium around it. Continue to provide light water and fertilizer. When a plant is about 4" tall transfer entire soil ball to a 4" pot and fill the extra space with potting medium. The first flowers will appear by the time the seedling is 4-5" tall, about 6-8 weeks after germination. Don't be disappointed if the flowers aren't very exiting as the do not represent the blooms of a mature plant.
Reply:Rose Seed Propagation


By Albert Ford


(adapted from the November – December 1999 MRS Newsletter)


On the threshold of fall, your roses are doing some interesting things. They are in the process of


converting spent flowers into seeds, for one thing. If after the middle of September, you ceased


deadheading, you have increased the probability of the rose bush producing viable seeds from which an


entirely new rose might germinate--if you do a few simple things.


1. Collect Mature Hips : Regardless of time of year, if a rose bloom remains on the bush after the


flower has faded and degeneration of the petals begins to take place, the rose bush will begin to form a seed


pod (rose hip). Sometimes the entire spent flower will turn brown. Such a hip will not produce viable seeds


and should be ignored and pruned away in your late fall pruning. On the other hand, more often than not,


the calyx tube (enlarged part just below the sepals) of the spent flower will begin to swell and gradually


change color from green to red or orange. Some hips remain green and do not change color. After the hip


has changed color, it is mature and can be harvested. I generally wait until after the first heavy frost, at


which time, I pick the green as well as the red and orange hips. The hips from a specific rose bush should


be placed in a container on which the variety’s name is written.


2. Shelling the Hips : Any time after harvesting the hips, they can be opened and the seeds


removed. Opening the hip can be done with a knife. Don’t worry about cutting through a seed, they are


very hard. Drop the seeds into a glass of water to which a teaspoon of Clorox has been added. Those that


drop to the bottom of the glass (sinkers) have a much greater probability of germinating than those that


float on the surface (floaters).


3. Stratification: Subjecting seeds to the cold of refrigeration (35ºF, not freezing) is referred to as


“stratification.” I place my rose seed in separate containers with a little moist peat moss. (I use empty


35mm film canisters). Mark each container with the name of the rose variety that produced the seed. Place


containers in refrigerator for 45 to 60 days.


4. Planting the Seeds : The seeds are planted in a tray (about an inch or more in depth). They are


placed 1/4 inch below the surface of the growing medium, covered and kept moist. I use Pro-Mix as a


growing medium and place the seed trays under grow-lights. The secret is to keep the medium moist, but


not wet. Set timer to have lights on for 16 hours, off for 8.


5. Seedling Treatment: A seedling may appear in as little as two weeks, but it generally takes


longer. The first two leaves that appear are cotyledons; the third leaf to appear is a true rose leaf. After two


or more rose leaves are visible, I carefully transplant the seedling into a three inch plastic pot, keep it under


grow-lights and give it a few drops of a weak solution of Miracle Gro (1/2 teaspoon to a quart of water). A


flower may arrear in as little as three weeks. Keep track of the variety; if it is a good rose, you may want to


give it a name and get it patented. Good luck!

Reply:Yes, of course you can, but it won't work well.





As you probably know, most roses you buy at a garden center are not "own root" roses. This means that the rose you see growing out of the ground probably has a different type of rose grafted onto the root. My wife knows the reason this is done, but the short answer is because most roses aren't very hardy. The roots are from very hardy roses called rugosas. Another problems is that you have no real idea of what the rose will look like when it blooms. If the rose was a hybrid tea, then your rose will look nothing like it. So it is a gamble on what you get.





Growing roses from hips is a long, tricky process that results in a weak rose plant, and probably one you wouldn't want to look at very long anyway.





Sorry, by my answer is no.
