Yes! Last night I was in my backyard and could smell them. The rose bushes are in the front of my house.

Possible you could spray a compost tea? That you can make yourself so you don't have to depend on the store?

My one rose we planted last year. It`s a carefree and it is living up to it`s name. It is polluted with blooms. We bought another one this year. White with red around the edges. Just beautiful. It had 3 blooms on when we planted it, but they are gone now. ![[Eek!]](im/eek.gif)
But I noticed that it has more buds. I`m so happy. ![[clappy]](im/graemlins/claps.gif)

Talk about weird!!
I have a Queen Elizabeth rose that has very nice "PINK" roses except for a long branch that was uncovered all winter. It has RED roses.
Can anyway explain that?

Jorgie, the Queen Elizabeth was probably grafted on to a wild rose and the wild rose is growing. They say you should cut the wild rose off or it will take over and kill the Rose that was grafted.
Wild roses are aggressive but do not bloom good.

If you want the rainbow you have to put up with the rain!!

A neighbor who is a hoticulturist says that this isn't that uncommon. First time I've seen it.

The red part of your rose has "gone wild." It is growing from below the graft.

I think it's awesome !
Someday I hope to plant my dwarf lemon and dwarf orange trees in the same hole so it'll look like one tree growing two different fruits.
