Rose Gardening? in tropical coastal areas

Rose gardening advice? I received a catalog in the mail yesterday and really am thinking of trying my hand by planting at least one rose bush next season and was wondering if there was any advice for a person just learning about roses and how to care for them? How to prepare the dirt and when to give rose food and how often? The one that I was looking at to buy is called a Hybrid Tea and has a coral-pink tone to its petals and grows to 5 feet tall and prefers full sun, which I have a lot of. I live in Zone 5.

Gardening question - help with iceberg rose please? Hi, I bought a white iceberg rose about 4 months ago and it was going great. About a month ago the leaves and flowers turned yellow and fell off, now it is just sticks. The sticks are green so it is alive, but other people in our street have roses that are flowering now (I live in Western Australia, it is the start of winter here). Does anyone have any suggestions on what I am doing wrong? I water the rose once every two days and it gets sunlight during the day. Thank you!

What is this stuff growing on the mulch of my rose garden? There is a substance growing on top of the mulch in my rose garden. It first looks like light mustard or, sorry to be gross, light yellow spots of vomit. they range in size from 6 inch diameter to 12+ inch diameter. At first we thought that an animal may have been sick but the spots keep popping up. They start out looking like a dried liquid and the next day they expand and look like a puffy light yellow foam about half an inch tall. The sun will beat down on them for a day and they dry up and deflate. The whole process only takes a few days. The garden is in full sun in zone 6. Any ideas will be appreciated! Thanks a bunch!!! :)

My dream is to grow an incredibly beautiful rose garden. I started this year but I want to be very selective? with my plants. I bought 3 David Austin "Mary Rose" plants.

Can I add a few new plants each year until the garden is developed or do you think it should be established at one time?

I'm new to roses and gardening in general....Any tips for pruning? I live in an apartment, so I am limited to patio gardening. I have minature roses in an 8 inch pot, and a 'Victory' rose (med. sized, also in 8 inch pot) both in Miracle Grow potting soil, in full sun watered daily or as needed. The mini's are doing great, I've had them for weeks now and they look even better than they did when I bought them, no questions there. The med sized, 'Victory' roses, I have only had for a few days now, they were budding when i bought them and now fully bloomed for the most part. I live in southern california, so frost pruning is not necessary (during the colder months I intend to leave them outside during the day for full sun, and bring them inside at night) My questions are, when should I prune? And how exactly should it be done? Also any other tips you think I might need to know. (Please understand that I am new to gardening in general so if you could explain in detailed lay-man's terms it would be greatly appreciated.) Thanks

Why Was Bush Kissing An Arab In The White House Rose Garden? He was holding his hand too? Does that make some of you manly right wing men uncomfortable, or would you (had you been there) reached up and planted one of the Arab's cheek too? I think they should have considered getting a room, the White House Rose Garden should not be used for flirting. Hey Booman: If it was Obama kissing of an Arab in a white robe in the Rose Garden, can you honestly say you would be giving him the same pass? I don't think so.

Stuff to do in portland oregon near rose garden? we're going to a blazers game on the 10th...and looking for some stuff to do around the rose garden area..any suggestions?

I found black spot of the bottom leaves of a new David Austin rose I planted in the Spring. I need some advice I hate to use chemicals on my lawn, I keep things very organic. I'll tell you what I've done so far and if you could please give me additional advice I would be most greatful!!! I trimmed off any spotted leaves from the stem of the plant. I've checked the stem for any sign of disease and there does not appear to be any. I've cleaned the soil of any fallen leaves. This plant is new, planted rootstock this Spring. The area I planted in had never had roses before. This was the first addition to a rose garden I was just beginning, starting with a rose named Mary Rose which happens to be my recently deceased mom so I really want to keep the plant. PLEASE give me your best advice. No, I'm not watering too much. If I'm guilty of anything it would be watering too little. The summer has been extremely dry and I know I should water them more. Could that be the problem???
