ingrid_vc so. CA zone 9Updated Thank you, Lynn. I wish my tall, gawky, thick-caned Wild Blue Yonder had looked like that. They obviously know how to take care of their roses. Ingrid

ingrid_vc so. CA zone 9Updated Where's there's one, more are sure to follow. My Pretty Jessica started buds long after every other rose had buds AND flowers. That may just be its habit or be a function of its relative youth (three years). Last year it had almos...

Kippy(SoCal zone 10. Sunset Zone 24)Updated Mom was surprised at how damp the soil was in the veggie garden where I was working today. Just drip. Once the plants come up tall enough we can use hay in the veggies. It is amazing what a thick layer of mulch can do. The big ros...

AquaEyes 7a New JerseyUpdated I'm assuming the proper name is 'Sunny Knock Out'. I'm also assuming that you bought the rose as a grafted/budded plant. What may have happened is that a sucker of the rootstock (probably 'Dr. Huey') has grown, and that is the tal...
