growing_rene2Updated January 25, 2014 I hope your drought situation comes to an end soon, Jackie! It's odd how we had the rainiest summer that I can recall and on the other side you guys are suffering miserably, without the rain. Good luck pulling your ideas together ...

susan4952(5)Updated January 24, 2014 And I feed mine weekly/ weakly but not with osmocote. I have good luck with MG for roses. Drainage is essential so the chemicals don't accumulate in the pots. Osmocote always burns my roses. Hard for me to regulate.

Campanula UK Z8Updated January 24, 2014 We have regular 'hosepipe bans' in East Anglia - on sandy soil this is a pain. However, the only things I water at the allotment are potatoes and one deep watering for the tomatoes - perennials and roses are always on their own. O...

seil zone 6b MIUpdated January 23, 2014 I'm not in your zone but I do believe for warmer climates like yours this is the time to prune. I don't think the roses have to be dormant to do that. I hope someone from your zone will chime in with more info.

seil zone 6b MIUpdated January 23, 2014 It isn't necessary to thin floribundas. Thinning is usually done for climbers. As I said, that rose looks pretty healthy as is so I wouldn't do much pruning except to the tips where there may be some dead wood I can't see.

seil zone 6b MIUpdated January 22, 2014 Very true, any type of rose can have that form but it's usually associated most with hybrid teas I think. As in a rose having "classic HT form". But there are a lot of HTs that don't have that form either and would be co...
