The Descanso Roses....the Conclusion

Black canker.  Evil black stems.  It was a dark time, but as promised, here is my follow up on the C. C. Rose Garden.  They've all come back and with better blooms and healthier looking leaves.....here are some pics to show that not all is lost when you cut your roses back.  Be patient as it takes awhile...about a month or so to get blooms again......but they look great.  They are just beginning to bloom in December even after our severe frost we had last week.  Roses can be pretty sturdy/hardy plants. Just look at what they are doing after all hope was lost:)

Cut to the grounds and up it arose......
