Rose Trellis
Posted on Wednesday, May 12th, 2010 at 12:57 pmWe used rebar as a basis for rose trellis, now the bushes look awful. What happened?
Before we put the rebar in, the rose bushes were lush and full of flowers. Too much iron?? Any ideas?
Iron toxicity is very rare. It can occur in sandy, acidic soils but the pH must slip below 5.0. In this case the presence of soluble iron salts can prevent the uptake of manganese. Symptoms are dead spots on the leaves. This appears first as lots of yellow pin prick sized lesions all over the leaf surface. The spots then turn brown as they die from the center out. Finally the whole leaf is brown and dead. If you haven't used soluble iron salts [greensand, or products like Bonide's Iron Sulfate] and your pH is not very acidic it can not be the iron rust from the rebar. Ferric iron (rust) is insoluble unless the pH is well below 6 and is only very slightly soluble at pH6.

I use rebar or welded, rusting steel with all my larger roses, in acidic soil, with no problems. Belleview Botanic Garden had sets of heavy guage custom steel bars made for their large freestanding shrub roses so I copied it using rebar. The one difficullty is to keep the fragile canes from damaging themselves on the rough metal. Where ever I tie a cane off I pad it from the rebar with dark tape over thin foam or a wrap of velcro with fuzzy backing between the cane and the bar. I didn't do this the first year and several canes were badly damaged in the winter winds and died eventually. This is the only problem I have encountered with this and well over twenty of the roses have steel in the ground. I also use it for beans and tomato cages with no problems.
Here are some pages to help ID possible alternative causes for your plants distress.
