Zone 5 is too cold.

The choices for ramblers in the cold zones are somewhat limited. I have had good success with the Ayrshire group. Those do indeed ramble, everywhere if you let them. The blooms are white and pretty, but lack the lavishness of the Barbier roses. I think Roses Unlimited has one or two, some years. The Damask, Celsiana, should probably be thought of as a rambler. It throws out 15' canes. Then there is Lilian Gibson, which is huge, and will shade out anything growing beneath it.
I gather Dorothy Perkins and sports can be grown in 5. I have not attempted them. Among modern, repeat blooming ramblers, I have Alba Meidiland, IMHO one of the finest of modern introductions. It is hardy for me, but remains bushy.

Hello, I just renewed my premium membership. The main reason for my membership is so I can use the link "VIEW US PATENT OFFICE PATENT". When I click on the link I get the message { "message" : "Too many requests" }. This was actually a problem before my membership expired last year, but I'm now just getting around to informing you of the problem. Hoping it can be resolved especially now that I've renewed my membership. Thank you.

We are sorry, but this is not a problem created by HMF. US PTO has changed their programming, so that direct links to their patents are no longer possible. While we are continuiing to add patent information, we have to access the USPRO site directly, as follows:
- Find "Patent Public Search" on Google
- Click "Basic Search"
- Add Patent number (e.g. PP36535) in Quick lookup
As a further hindrance, you will usually receive a message "Error status. There are too many requests in your user session. Please try your request again later."
- Disregard this message
- Open a second browser window and repeat the above steps.
--> Second time is 100% successful!

Do you know when this change was made?

This is my first flush of blooms from White Lies. So far, so good. I must note that it is not supposed to have any fragrance. All of my blooms (over 25 of them) have a strong scent that smells like fresh peaches. What a welcome surprise.

Is this a seedling of 'Double Delight'?

The breeder often just uses selections of whatever x whatever, iirc.
My guess is that he used 'Mon Cheri' (seedling of 'Double Delight') frequently. The boxy foliage, and then the flower color and form, is very much akin to 'Mon Cheri', except in 'Double Delight' colors on smaller plant.

My Blue Girl roses are blooming with mutant, wilted blooms. All of my others roses are doing well. It’s a 5-year old bush and has problems every year. But this year, I took extra care to prune and fertilize appropriately with Bayer. Can anyone tell what I’m doing wrong or offer tips?

Is it normal for thrips to attack one rose only, over a period of several years? Would not one expect an undiagnosed infection to spread?
I would try digging up the rose, soaking the roots in a water or wet mud bath with a tsp. of bleach added, and then replanting in a well amended new location.
Or, 'Blue Girl' is still in commerce. You could simply replace yours, again in some different location.
