Early June Disneyland Rose Update: Second Feeding, First Flush of Blooms - June 2025

So far, so good with the Disneyland Roses.  In an attempt to 'do better' than last year with the Floribunda roses, I've been paying a little closer attention to them - with watering, feeding and treating them - proactively.

That started a month ago with the first application of a systemic all-in-one "rose care" granular that includes fertilizer, pesticide and fungicide.  It also means spraying them with fungicide and Neem Oil every-few-weeks.  And, being deliberate to water the crowns, not the foliage.

With the calendar turning to June, it was time to apply the second monthly feeding.  I put down the same all-in-one granular at the crowns of each of the five Disneyland Roses.  See below for that feeding: 

These Disneyland Roses produce blooms in successive 'flushes' - with blooms appearing about a month-or-so apart from each other.  The first flush of blooms is arriving this past week and we're seeing some blooms on all five plants (the three old ones and the two new ones).  

Below are a couple of photos showing some of these blooms:

I'm seeing some leaf-curling on a couple of the roses.  And, have picked off a few pests on others.  There's some spotting on the leaves, so fungus is on its way.  

What happened last year - a struggle in early June - hasn't happened (so far) this year.   By late June, there was foliage growth and they *somewhat* rebounded.  I'm hoping that I can stay on top of these this year and we will avoid that "June Swoon".
