Fraser Valley Rose Farm | My Rose Stems Turned Black (after winter... hmmmm) @FraserValleyRoseFarm | Uploaded 2 years ago | Updated 2 hours ago
Black is the color of dead tissue on plants - so the fact that the stems of my roses have turned black is not good news. There's also a lot of reasons is could happen, some more concerning that others. In this case I'm seeing: whole stems from the tips to near the base uniformly turning black. I also know that we had a cold stretch that was more severe than normal for our climate. The damage is more severe on tender Hybrid Teas than on the hardier old garden roses. All of this taken together allows me to conclude that it's simply cold damage, and not some disease or root rot issue. In this video we'll look at some examples, and I'll also discuss some of the early steps in pruning and maintaining roses after the winter.
