roseseek(9)Updated October 8, 2015 You're welcome. I sincerely doubt you are going to find any garden rose in those tones that will come close to lasting as long as anything selected for cut flower work. Either their petals are too soft; they have too few petals or...

Moving an established rose

Samuel Adk zone5aUpdated October 8, 2015 I agree with Seil. It is better to move it in spring. November is not a good time of the year to prune or move a rose in a cold climate. Pruning a rose causes stress and the plant exudes sugars. The plant needs all its energy to m...

AquaEyes 7a New JerseyUpdated October 8, 2015 I do hope it becomes commercially available soon. Paul had generously gifted me a small plant of it a while back, but it didn't survive. If I get the chance again, I'll be sure to pot it up in my "magic mix" before putti...

sharon2079Updated October 8, 2015 Several years ago I lost 10 rose plants all from cane bores. I am not sure what kind they were but they also took out a citrus tree. I tried to use wood glue over a cut, then I tried orange shellac, nothing worked. The borers foun...

toolbelt68(7)Updated October 8, 2015 Glad you all liked it. I started reading it before she moved to her present location so I've 'seen' her place grow over the years. The hours she must spend taking care of it is mind boggling.

caflowerluver(9b)Updated October 7, 2015 Seil - thanks for the advice. Waited to get back until the third bud bloomed. Pretty much looks the same as the second one. I was hoping it would be like the first. I will keep it just in case it does do better when mature.

Buford_NE_GA_7A(7B)Updated October 6, 2015 We had lots of rain here in Georgia, but no flooding. Most of the flooding was in Columbia SC, which isn't near any water. There was just too much rain in a short period. I have relatives there, luckily they are ok.

summersrhythm_z6aUpdated October 6, 2015 Oh dear, no roses left......you're a much better person. Wait for next year's bargain......sometimes good things come slow. Next time when you see the bargain trees, what will you do? Put them all on your shopping cart. :-)
