SoFL Rose z10Updated July 21, 2015 If you cut some too close to the bud and the cane is damaged or bruise, it will just grow from the next closest bud (just below). You may get a little die back from the ends, but you can cut those off later. You should just leave ...

onewheeler(Z5 N.S.)Updated July 20, 2015 In my experience growing rugosa roses the bottom leaves often turn yellow and fall off with age. I have never worried about that. The flowers only last a few days on the rugosas, once they are done the petals wilt and rose hips ...

diane_nj 6b/7a(6b/7a)Updated July 20, 2015 Geez, I didn't know that Regan opened this early! Their web site says ordering now for shipping in 2016. I would think that the newer varieties would sell out first, but just my opinion.

jasminerose4u, California 9bUpdated July 19, 2015 Beth, it is meant to be that you are to care for this rare rose. No pressure! Glad it is not up to a newbie like me. I would have a tendency to over care for the rose.

toolbelt68(7)Updated July 18, 2015 Don't know if this would work for Voles but I've heard that you can spray Castor Oil on the lawn just before it rains for getting rid of Moles. Amazon has different kinds of the oil so search for Lawn Mole Castor Oil.
