I have some questions on japanese beetle eradication/usage, if I may.
As I'm considering growing old garden roses
Well, as long as the topic of roses has come up. . . I have a rose bush my uncle gave me. He got it at a local nursery, where it was labeled as coming from Jacksons and Perkins. It was a "scentsation", which has red & white striped blossoms with a pleasant scent. The first year I planted it we had an unusually cold winter, and I thought it died. It has slowly come back, and I can't tell whether it has grown back from above or below the graft. This year it has bloomed - a red blossom, with about the same form as "scentsation". I don't notice much scent, but was disappointed with the scent of the plant before it died back, too.
The blossom certainly looks like it could have been intentionally selected - it's not a wild rose by any means. But it doesn't look like it's supposed to. Could I have a bud mutation (losing the stripes) from the cold? Does J&P use a red-blossomed rose for its rootstock?
Nothing in particular rides on the answer, but I'm curious.
thanks,
Ginda
