mzstitch(Zone 7b South Carolina)Updated I was hoping someone would say five, four would be okay, I hope it doesn't stay as short as three where I want to plant it. My other solution would be to just pot it, but I really think this rose would look prettiest in the grou...

jjpeace (zone 5 US/zone 6 Can)Updated I have the Botanica roses and it is a great book. However, I find that these days my main source of info comes from this forum and Helpmefind site. Books are a wonderful source of info but the problem is you don't get to read how ...

Gary(USDA ZONE = 9b SUNSET ZONE = 18 (Riverside, CA, USA))Updated In March, I bought seventy 2-cu-ft bags of bark for a 4-inch layer of mulch to prevent weeds from growing in my garden. I want to apply the bark after I improve the soil and re-locate the roses. (Also, the bark bags are taking ...

bluegirl_gwUpdated What Cynthia said. They don't look like they're dying, just look like old, somewhat neglected bushes. I'd take out all dead wood--including trimming off those stumps of canes that have already been whacked--take off that dead stu...

mad_gallica(zone 5 - eastern New York)Updated I don't think I've ever seen Lovely Fairy. Michael says it's a sport of The Fairy, so I'm assuming the growth habits are the same. Zones alone are almost worthless. Zone + state + part of state if the state is large tells us a lot...
