Criteria for culling roses

-Wed, Jul 23, 03

My criteria is that any leafless stick or disease ridden bush will go. So far Willie Baffin and Knockout are the only disease free completely foliated bush in the yard and they have not been sprayed. There are others with lots of leaves that I'm keeping but I haven't gotten to them yet.

Other good ones are Green Ice and PopcornBoth have a little blackspot but are growing vigorously.

Looks like most the hybrid teas and minis will go.

So far I've removed First Light, Sundowner, Fabulous, Valencia, Oranges and Lemons, Tempie Lee, Veteran's Honor, Impatient, Countess Celeste, The Fairy, Mt. Hood, New Zealand, Double Delight, Sweet6 Vivian, Voodoo, Sutter's Gold, Headliner, Iceberg, Stretch Johnson, Nightingale, Crimson Glory, White Lightning, Fame, Ain't She Sweet, Duet, Candlelabra, Show Biz, First Prize, Betty Boop, Tropicana, Legend, Azure Sea, Eternity, Pleasure, Sonia, White Masterpiece, Fountain Square, Brandenburg Gate, Cherish, Timeless, and All That Jazz.

More tomorrow as I've just begun.

Most of the Rugosas look OK too.
