Do you leave the roses in pots for a while? I got several from
Robertson;s and repotted them. They were not ready, had little new
roots, must have been in the pot only a short time. So, I picked up
four from TEAS and am letting them stay in the pot for a while, let the
roots grab the pot soil to make repotting easier and hopefully better.
I sold my business and house and am now renting, looking for a new home
like that ole Bole Weavil!, anyway, am potting all my roses in 16" pots
and have installed a drip irrigation system for them. Want to see how
that works. They are doing fine so far. If I ever have a home won't
leave them behind. I plan to keep them pruned to fit their pots, say
about 3' by 3', should be interesting. Later when I really plant them I
will use the drip system. My bunch is; Tiffany, Chrysler Imp., Fourth
of July, Fragrant Hour, Double Delight, Sun Sprite and Granada. Fourth
of July and Granada are new to me, the others are old friends. What do
you think?
