seil zone 6b MIUpdated Jasper, it should do well. Mine always performs it's best when it's the hottest here. It really hates my cool springs and falls and rarely grows much or blooms until at least July. And those nice thick petals open very reliably in...

seil zone 6b MIUpdated Oh, what a shame! I don't have deer (knock wood) but the rabbits do a number on mine. The best thing is a fence or to cage them some how so they can't be eaten. it's the most effective way to go. Repellents only work for a time an...

mzstitch(Zone 7b South Carolina)Updated Good to hear as I'm getting frustrated with the slow leafing out here in South Carolina. Weather is finally turning, I'll fertilize for the first time today and hopefully that will move them along. What a strange year!

seil zone 6b MIUpdated I've ordered most of mine on line because the local nurseries don't carry much of a selection. I'll double, triple and quadruple the warning about Grow Quest!!! DO NOT bother with them. I am one of the horror stories out there. Ot...

SasorisPuppetUpdated I'm sure it won't hurt, just build up your trough with the mulch and don't lay it too thick on the inside so water can easily get through it, maybe an inch or so? Mom always did that with hers, keeps the roots cool and wet. You ca...

seil zone 6b MIUpdated In zone 9 I don't know how big a climber or rambler could get so it may not be possible to pot them. But in my zone 6 they never reach the size they can where you are so I had no problem potting my Blaze for 6 years. I have a Dubl...
