| HI everyone
I have had this rose for about 3 years and its one of my favourites.
About a month ago it started looking very sick and getting worse.I tried everything but to no avail.So I cut it back as you would for a winter prune,like 3 canes etc and repotted it into new potting mix and container.
After a number of weeks I noticed a few shoots and then yesterday some new foliage!
I think it may be back on the road to recovery,anyway hopeful signs!
We'll seee how it goes but there may be life in the old girl after all!
cheers Michelle |

Thats wonderful Michelle I do hope it continues getting more shoots..
I did a similar thing to my Alexander only I dug mine out of the garden and potted it up.
And like yours, mine has started to grow new foliage, a second chance perhaps...Cheers..MM. |

Have you had it long? The colours are so beautiful.

| Good luck Michelle! Getting new foliage is the most relieving feeling - and waiting for something to happen on a bush that has died back can be terribly worrying. |

| Michelle I have had it about 3 years. It is a standard and gets afternoon shade,rebloom is good and apart from a bit of pm early in the season it has been problem free. Looks like yours is on the wayback, so well done pam |

| Oh Thanks everyone Yes, koiwabiru ,seeing the foliage almost sent me to the fridge to crack open a bottle of bubbly!!!The waiting was rerrible.I still dont know how it will turn out if the rose is weakened...I dont know what happened to it..it just gave up the ghost. youngquinn
Your rose as I said before is stunning.I had mine for a similiar time.I woyuld imagine it would be fantastic as a standard.
I will post a proress report in a few weeks if you would be interested.
Cheers
Michelle
