Hi Rose Friends! Another summer is almost over and Fall, Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas are just around the corner. Before then, we have some excitement in store for you, our members. As this is my first year as your President, I hope to encourage everyone to help build our membership and spread the word that we’re a great society and we have good fellowship, great food and a lot of good rose advice. So contact your friends, neighbors and family that you think would like to learn that everyone can have a rose garden — big, small, easy care or show quality. We’ve got the knowledge and expertise to help anyone and everyone who wants a rose in their life begin to grow them. So spread the word!! I’d like everyone’s help in making GRS grow. Let’s have some ideas of how to build membership. I’m depending on all of you. The first big exciting change is our new home at Celebration United Methodist Church on Archer Road. Drive west on Archer Road 1/2 mile past SW 91st Street. Watch on your left for a large, faded YMCA sign. Turn into their drive and bear right toward the church. We’ll be watching for you to lead you to our meeting room. We feel so fortunate that we’ve been welcomed so warmly by the Pastor and congregation. We have plans to start a small rose garden (details at the meeting) and possibly even something larger in the future. Do not forget that we will be meeting at 2:00 pm, 30 minutes earlier than we have in the past. So let’s all gather together again for a year of friendship, roses, good food and great topics at the meetings!! Please check the GRS web site Calendar for up-coming events. Sally

Fall In The Rose Garden John Tucker, CR Welcome to the fall season with its prospect of cooler temperatures and lots of beautiful blooms in our rose gardens. Here are six basic suggestions to help your garden perform well. 1. Continue irrigating throughout the fall so that your roses receive at least the equivalent of one or two inches of rainfall each week. This will keep your roses well hydrated and put your fertilizer to work. 2. Do a light to moderate pruning of all roses (except once bloomers) between late August and mid September to encourage a larger and more uniform flush of blooms. 3. After new growth is prevalent, scatter a couple of handfuls of a complete fertilizer around each mature, wellwatered bush. Use half as much for younger bushes. Vigoro 12-6-10 with minors is nearly a perfect fertilizer blend for roses, but many other combinations are acceptable if they contain a good balance of major, secondary, and minor elements. If you plan to exhibit roses at the DSD Convention and Rose Show, October 25 -27, in West Palm Beach, you might want to consider applying specialty fertilizers a few weeks before the show. Many exhibitors believe that the use of certain specialty fertilizers may produce better foliage, bigger blooms, and blooms with more intense color. Our experienced exhibitors can suggest specific fertilizers and the timing of their use. 4. As soon as a significant number of blooms are fully open, begin dead-heading and grooming your bushes two or three times a week to keep them looking good and to check for any emerging problems. 5. Be aware of common fall rose pests and be prepared to deal with them as you see fit. If you plan to prevent/ control black spot by using commercial fungicides, select the specific fungicides wisely and apply them regularly, every 7-14 days throughout the fall season. Be sure to use a “contact” fungicide and a “systemic” fungicide in every application. The “contact” fungicide (such as Dithane or Mancozeb) may be the same in every application, but the “systemic” fungicide must be rotated from among ones with a different mode of action (MOA). This rotation is essential to the effectiveness of any spray program to control fungus. The IFAS Extension document PP268, Black Spot of Rose, is an excellent short publication covering the cause, symptoms (with excellent photos), and control of black spot. It includes tables listing all the commonly used fungicides by active ingredient, trade name, and fungicide group (MOA). A few copies will be available on the information table at our September meeting. 6. Maintain a thick layer (3 inches) of coarse mulch around all bushes to conserve water and to help control weeds. A great time to replenish mulch is immediately after step 2 is completed. Good luck, John _______________________________________________________________________________________________ The ARS Classification Committee has reclassified the following roses. The changes have been made in the ARS data base so the changes are effective now. Please contact your societies, judges and exhibitors about the new changes, especially if societies will be having fall rose shows. “Lee Greenwood’s American Patriot” (WELpatriot 0344, Wells, MinFl, 2008) from Miniflora to Miniature “Memphis King” (WELing, Wells, MinFl, 2002) from Miniflora to Miniature “Autumn Bliss” (WELbliss, Wells, MinFl, 2005) from Miniflora to Miniature “I Believe in You” (WELyou9805, Min, Wells, 2012) from Miniature to Miniflora “Tootsies Lounge” (WELtoot 0388, S, Wells, 2011) from Shrub to Floribunda
