Welcome to r/Roses Wiki
This is the r/Roses community hub for rose care, rose identification, disease and pest examples, Rose Rosette Disease references, cultivar notes, user-submitted rose photos, and moderator-maintained guides.
Start here
- Rose Care Basics - the practical first stop for light, water, soil, planting, feeding, mulch, and climate notes.
- Rose Rosette Disease - a careful guide for comparing normal red new growth, herbicide injury, stress, pest damage, and suspicious RRD symptoms.
- Pest and Disease Index - common rose problems, what they look like, and what photos help with diagnosis.
- Posting Rose Photos - how to submit useful images for identification, disease help, RRD checks, and show-off posts.
- Cultivar Notes - how to build useful variety pages with bloom, fragrance, disease resistance, climate, and patent notes.
- Propagation Guide - cuttings, layering, own-root notes, and plant patent cautions.
Community tools
- Use the RRD compare tool to view one suspect user photo beside one verified RRD photo at a time.
- Use rose media uploads for ID requests, disease help, care questions, progress photos, and beautiful blooms.
- Use garden boards to group photos into a diagnosis timeline, cultivar gallery, pruning record, or seasonal progress set.
- Use wanted topics when a guide needs expert help, better photos, or stronger sources.
Editing standard
Pages should separate confirmed facts from community observation. Prefer university extension, government, diagnostic lab, peer-reviewed, or official programme sources. For pesticides, always defer to the current local label and local extension guidance.
