seil zone 6b MIUpdated Pink Cloud is a healthy grower and was, at one time, used as a root stock rose. It may only get 6 feet tall but I think it can spread much wider than that if not trellised in some way.

nippstress - zone 5 NebraskaUpdated Most "regular" fertilizers like Miracle Gro or any generic 10-10-10 pellets will add nitrogen and food for the rose. I go with about a 1/2 cup per well-established rose (don't feed new rose plantings), away from the base...

nippstress - zone 5 NebraskaUpdated In my cold zone I can manage most roses on an average of somewhere between 18" and 2' apart, particularly the HTs and floribundas, except for obvious ones that want to grow big or sprawl. Tradescant wants to be 2' tall and 8'...

kingcobbtx9bUpdated Yes I agree with that completely. My comment about Placebo effect was merely meaning that most established gardens should have their own already unless of course there is an issue. If you don't have it naturally adding it withou...

michaelg(7a NC Mts)Updated In climates where roses carry leaves through the winter, there will be some natural shedding of senile leaves in spring. Usually when a leaf turns uniform bright yellow, or yellow mottled green, it's just because the rose has deci...

meredith_e Z7b, Piedmont of NC, 1000' elevationUpdated My roses are so late, too! I'm only seeing teeny buds on Cl Pompon de Paris, which is my first bloom of the season. That's right, and I expect to see more buds soon, but it's just late.

Peonies near Roses

dublinbay z6 (KS)Updated I'd say it depends on how close together they are going to be, and whether you place the peony in front, beside, or behind the rose depends on how tall the rose gets. Here you can see a nearly finished blooming white peony (bottom...
