Hi everyone,

I am in Normandy on a farm and have extensive formal
gardens which I have been trying to return to their former glory. I have
about 100 roses in the main gardens and have had some nasty problems with
an
employee who sprayed most of the roses with a roundup spray instead of a
rose spray last summer (Yes, it was on purpose). It broke my heart. I have
started replacing them, but my question is, is it enough to remove large
areas of soil and replace with new or do I need to take the entire soil
from
all the beds to have healthy growth with new planting? I would appreciate
any experienced rose growers comments.


Roundup does not persist in soil. But please consider spending a little
money analyzing the soil and container/equipment used in spraying. If there
is 2-4-D then that is a problem.

Shouldn't an insurance claim be considered?

Killing a garden like that is the act of a psycopath, this person needs to
be taken into custody for evaluation.
