It has happened to me twice.
What I do now is after I'm done writing my message I copy it so if it gets lost I can just paste it into a new post and off it goes... No rewriting a long message...lol

It's happened to me many times! Copying the message after I've written it, so if it gets lost I can just paste it, is also what I've been doing.

Copying this now. lol

I would be too shy to ask the President to pass some salt. I wonder if anyone did. Although, people have said that President Regan was friendly and easy to talk to. From Roman times on, the salt was placed next to the most important person. The Romans paid wages in salt ( giving us our word salary ).

I love roses in wedding photos, etc. This recreation of a state dinner was so pretty. I should invite my roses to dinner more often. We always put up garden pictures but I like roses inside as well.

SCG. I see you checked the first listing of a Google search on deer population.

You have great day, too.

No disrespect, but shouldn't have you searched before posting misleading facts? I also didn't need google, it was brought up in hunter education, as was the demise of buffalo. Your numbers are correct but, and but, there is a reason: the early advance of European hunters.

Sorry if the thread got hijacked. No offence intended just looking to keep the facts straight.

I really donâÂÂt have much gardening space with morning sun only, so all my roses get either all day sun or afternoon sun. With the exception of some of the lavenders, most do very well in the hot sun here (our average summers are mid to upper nineties with very high humidity). I donâÂÂt grow any Austins, thoughâ¦I think a lot of them prefer some afternoon shade in my climate. . Fragrant Cloud and Dolly Parton are both exceptionally fragrant and seem to adore the heat and sun. Others that come to mind as very fragrant and very heat/sun tolerant in my garden are Julia Child (I keep mine pruned to about 5 X 4 and she doesn't seem to mind), White Licorice, Firefighter, Royal Amethyst, Double Delight and Perfume Delight. And hereâÂÂs Grand Dame thriving in all day sun. SheâÂÂs VERY fragrant (old rose scent) and has the old fashioned nodding bloom formâ¦she really is grand!

I have a similar bed and those that do best in it are Frederic Mistral, Pope John Paul II, SDLM, McCartney rose and Golden Celebration. Frederic is now 6x6! and covered in blooms

These were much smaller than ants. And I also found a green worm.

These critters were all inside the buds. I have noticed lately that something is chewing on my bud. So I am sure that it wasn't just one bug.

Thanks for the answer,

Most of the time when I deadhead the Rose Slugs still in the bloom and I just discard it into the trash.
That's why I never worried much about ones in blooms...

Michael,

It wasn't a bed rose, it is a plant that is still in the nursery container. I believe that you said the leaves would get darker after I had it in a large pot with good potting soil. I just wanted to give it a little head start.

I will use the Miracid as a foliar spray on it tonight. The new pot will be delivered this week and then I will replant it. I think that WS just sat in the nursery pot for much too long.

Thanks again,

andrea

Hi-Yield soil acidifier is available from reputable nurseries in this area. It doesn't seem to show up in big box stores much. Diane

I have 10 so far, and I'm adding at least 4 next year. I love growing them in pots; I'm in a HOA-governed place, and I don't have a lot of space to plant in the earth, so it's a good alternative for me. You have to keep after the nutrition and the watering, but it's really not too bad.

I have a few roses in containers, but I only keep them in a pot for 2-3 years, then I find a place for them in the garden. I am considering planting a couple of them in bottomless containers where root competition from neighboring trees is a problem. I wonder if the roots having a little more access to soil (below the container) would be helpful. I seem to remember that someone of this forum said they removed the bottom of a galvanized tub. Has anyone tried this method?

ADBLOCK works with other browsers also. I have IE plus ADBLOCK and never see any pop ups.

It is free.

Check a recent thread over at Computer Help Forum - GardenWeb. Someone there is having problems with FF and a CBS ad.

It's important to understand that Frederic Mistral is literally a double-sized plant compared to other hybrid teas.

Strictly on fragrance alone, NZ wins, but FM was the better plant and the better producer of blooms here. As michaelg says, FM needs a large space.

Most tv shows are garbage in my opinion but I got HBO recently and came across this series. It has since been cancelled (usual moronic decisions made based soley on $$$$) but you can catch the episodes on HBO Go (at least that's how I get it but it may be different depending on your subscription).

It's a lovely lovely show and has lots of roses (main character's mother is an avid rose gardener) to add to the wonderfulness of it!

Check out the show and the roses!

Isn't it neat to find you may have a second chance with something you thought was lost forever. Good luck. You need to keep your marvelous collection of roses going for the rest of us......Maryl

Imagination was only introduced in 1992! How quickly they disappear. I hope it comes back for you. The colors, as shown at HMF, are stunning.

Yes. Just stake it.

It sounds like this is the first mature growth on a young plant? Later, the rest of the plant should catch up to the height of this one.

Tie it up so it wont scratch anything or tear itself when it blows around. I am starting to do that now. The plants do much better when they aren't ripping themselves up in the wind

That's good advice for spraying any plant, with any product. Some are more sensitive to different types of sprays than others. Some don't seem to be sensitive at all, like some people have "elephant skin" where nothing bothers them, while others react to everything. Kim

Thank you both. Good advise. I can wash the leaves. I have two trees and a mum beside the rosé bush. Do you cut down fertilizer if you have the bush inside in winter like you do for citrus?

I do believe your right beth, I looked @ the pix of Gelato and Arrow follies, even Hocus Pocus they all look spot on! . I remember grandma having the red and yellow one, I'd say about 5 yrs ago. But haven't seen one like it since, especially not in your average , everyday garden. Thank you for help. Im not gonna say anything to grandma about it. But at least it wont hurt me as much when I fail @ trying to get these gals to root. Thanx again,

The yellow and red stripe is Hocus Pocus, aka Memphis Music. Memphis Music is the same rose, and is easily available commericially, but only as an own root small plant.

It is available at ForLoveOfRoses.com

If you have room, and like things that smell, species R. eglanteria is a lot of fun. The foliage smells like green apples after it's been touched, or after a rain.

It sounds like you are moving in the right direction. If you haven't been there, next June you may want to get to the botanical garden in Annapolis Royal, and make a shopping list. There are a lot of roses that don't particularly photograph well that are irresistible in person.
