sharon2079I have noticed that one of my roses wasn't doing to well, but couldn't really put my finger on what the matter was. However, today I noticed a tiny palm starting to grow up in the soil. When I went to yank it out I could hardly pull...

cadiarose(zone 7a, NJ)Updated July 11, 2015 My local HDs had quite a few of these in, which greatly surprised me as it is fairly new. Other than curiosity, I wasn't tempted to buy this one as I have no room for a climber. But it did capture my attention.

fragrancenutter(Zone 10b)Updated July 10, 2015 It can get down to freezing here but only very briefly. Day time temp is still in the 40's. I guess maybe I am in between 10a and 10b? I can never see any frosts in my garden though. I think it's because I am so close to the coa...

mustbnuts zone 9 sunset 9Updated July 9, 2015 Nipp, Junco and Patty, Thank you for your responses. I guess I will have to plant them in spots where they can get big. I am excited about getting them and seeing how they will do.

AquaEyes 7a New JerseyUpdated July 9, 2015 If you planted a band this year, I'd recommend digging it up now and putting it in a pot. It probably hasn't sent roots very far yet, so if you dig a hole big enough, you'll get it all out. I think you'll find it grows faster if b...

nippstress - zone 5 NebraskaUpdated July 9, 2015 Heatwave2000 - don't despair about your Twilight Zone. I suspect it would have done the same thing in a pot, perhaps more so. Nurseries often pump the roses up on a lot of fertilizers to make them look good for sales, and by the t...

Rose rust .....again

michaelg(7a NC Mts)Updated July 9, 2015 I wouldn't prune healthy wood from a weakened plant, unless maybe stems too spindly to support vigorous growth. There are nutrients stored in the canes that will help the plant refoliate. Probably the rust will subside as the summ...

michaelg(7a NC Mts)Updated July 9, 2015 Jim's advice for insecticides is good. They will do less damage to beneficial insects. You need thorough coverage of the lower leaf surfaces of plants that are getting the sawflies' attention. And I wouldn't worry about it if up t...
