Wd appreciate input from members *with similar climates* (So. Calif Coastal).

Also your guides to best Internet sites. There's overwhelmingly much out there.


Every 6 weeks once Spring gorwth commences is what I plan. Of course I

Do you have "Sudden Impact for Roses" in the US? If you do, I use that
