They always bloom beautifully at the beginning of spring but their leaves are susceptible to spotting and dropping off which is what they are doing again this year. They came back beautifully last year and I concur with your comment that they do not do well in humid conditions. It's either all (they are gorgeous and plentiful when they bloom) or nothing (bare canes). I haven't tried treating them because I have a dog who is extremely sensitive. I purchased mine at a nursery but they had just come out and I don't think that they were aware of the problems.J S Rowehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03930178173971720000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23520611.post-48718904550511934122010-05-24T11:06:55.692-04:002010-05-24T11:06:55.692-04:00Joseph's Coat rose does not do well in humid c...Joseph's Coat rose does not do well in humid conditions which would include much of the east coast and southeast. They do much better in the west (my area) as we are dry. Also I notice from your photos that the roses are planted alongside your house under eaves which may prevent them from getting the sun theyned. Roses need a lot of sun and usually do not do well in partial shade areas. <br /><br />To you people who are looking at buying flowering plants, research their care on the internet first or plants will indeed disappoint you. If you plant them in conditions they do not like, I don't care of get them at Home Depot or the best nursery - - you are not going to have good luck. <br /><br />It is true that nurseries generally have stronger plant stock, but my California sister bought a Joseph's Coat (and several other roses) at Home Depot and they have all done really well but those specific roses like dry, very sunny conditions.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17188895236572140610noreply@blogger.com
