Jen--

I had read that as well--but never got to it. That would have been something "new" i was doing....
My Roses all are very old. Years ans years. They are Hybrid Teas. The lower stems are woody.
I am amazed that they bloom at all!

Sometimes I am thinking of digging them all up, amending the soil, and starting all over with new Roses---
but that would cost a bit of $$$.
Besides--I have some that are not easily available any more...long out of patent....

I want to say that--IF any of you EVER come across the one called "Sweet Surrender"--run to buy it.
It is very hardy--the most fragrant one I have ever had--and quite disease resistant....
Never know--may just find it on the Rose rack at a Wallmart or such.
