Your roses have gone to hips. So what do you do now. You can always leave them on for winter interest, or see what may happen if you harvest the hips and plant the seeds. You can see the video here:

Fairly or not, some roses are more popular than others. Are we missing out on those who are not as popular? You can see the video here:

Through out time there are new roses that get introduced, and older roses seem to disappear. In the last half of the 1900's there was a group that did a lot of work towards bring back the old garden roses, and also there has been interest in older roses as well. Still the new roses seem to continue to replace the old roses. There have been several posts through out social media and other online places mentioning that now there are roses that are wanted, but are no longer for commercial sale. Unfortunately it seems that once a rose is gone from commerce it is hard to get it back and for some they disappear forever. You can see the video here:
There are things that you can do to help prevent roses disappearing. Some of them are:
> Contact nurseries and see if you can send cuttings of non patented roses to them.
> Due to transportation laws, insects, and diseases, this is best done locally, but join a rose group and pass around rose cuttings in you r local area.
> Start cuttings and sell them in a garage sale.

A rose that if, we aren't proactive could disappear in the future

As the weather starts to, hopefully, cool down, the roses keep going on. In my garden I get a miniature spring like flush, where it isn't as many blooming but those that were kind of sleeping during the heat are waking back up with the cooler weather. This video takes you through the reawakening of the roses. You can see the video here:
