seil zone 6b MIUpdated June 11, 2015 I use popsicle sticks and floral tape to splint around the crack. It doesn't always work but is worth a try. If the blooms have perked up and opened I would just leave it staked and let it finish its bloom. Then when you go to ...

fduk_gw UK zone 3 (US zone 8)Updated June 11, 2015 Somewhat amusingly, my Aldi Mr Lincoln, which is not Mr Lincoln, appears to be an older garden rose. Showing pink on its buds today so hopefully I shall be able to start working towards an ID soon. I don't mind it being an old ros...

vasue VA(7A Charlottesville)Updated June 11, 2015 We're in the low 90's for the next few days - first continuous heat this year - so I'm going to let the roses rest up after their trip for a few days & aim for an overcast day to plant them out. If I see a break in the heat co...

dublinbay z6 (KS)Updated June 11, 2015 Check your local Home Depot for tall metal trellises. They aren't real fancy, but are fairly sturdy, and once the climber covers it, it won't matter if the trellis is fancy or not. The Home Depot ones are cheaper than most of the...

bardamu_gwUpdated June 11, 2015 Besides aphids early in the season, which were easy to remove, I hadn't spotted bugs. I'm used to looking for bugs under leaves, but I must have missed them thinking it was fungus or disease. I looked carefully at both plants and ...
