roseseek(9)Updated You're welcome. Good luck! I save the water used while waiting for the hot water to come through, in the sinks as well as in the baths. I watered my tomatoes much of the summer simply using that recycled water. A couple of three g...

homahomayoon14Updated Hi, this is a very good rose. My neighbor has this and I have other hybrid tea roses that do quite well in Georgia. This rose is available at Heirloom Roses. I plan to get one as soon as I find some room in my huge rose garden!

bart_2015Updated In my experience roses are very tolerant of being moved. I myself have never managed to dig up a real root ball (i.e., root system with earth intact around it) ,so personally I don't think that's necessary: just so you get out a n...

dublinbay z6 (KS)Updated Bart, I've never had the soil tested, but I've always assumed it is fairly neutral or slightly on the acid side, based on some macrophylla (mophead) hydrangea I used to grow--definitely leaning toward the blue side, but still occa...

roseseek(9)Updated Rose shows are completely different from the "real world" of a yard. Many rose show queens have been terrible "garden plants". Not all, but very many, and vice versa. The only thing you can extrapolate from a r...

roseseek(9)Updated Patty, I seriously doubt any hybridizer is going to get involved in the RMV issue. There isn't any money to be made by taking on that battle and potentially money to be lost in doing so, not to mention a fair amount of ill will wh...

seil zone 6b MIUpdated It really doesn't matter either way. If you have the time and inclination you can pull them. Otherwise they'll probably all come off during the winter anyway. I leave mine and usually anything that's left by spring is on dead w...

kingel7Updated Thank you! The boxwoods were there when we moved in two years ago so can't tell you their age. I've added a few where they were missing and they haven't caught up yet after two years of growth. Haven't measured -- 18 inches??
