Well, we missed you!
Icebergs are usually cast iron plants! There may be something in that
spot.
My little roses are growing and blooming, got a little yellow so I got
some liqiud iron and they greened up quickly.
Look like the parent? Don't know cause the parents were not in bloom. I
have three and they don't look to be the same, time will tell, only one
has bloomed, pale pink fadind to white.

Well, my little old rose is blooming again, pink and just as big as a
nickel with nine more buds showing!

Cool! How much does it resemble the parent? Are the blooms the same size?

I was away from home for a week for the first time all summer; fortunately
that week our temperatures got lower and we actually got some rain.
Previously I had been watering my roses every 3-4 days and only losing a few
of the weaker ones.

I had an Iceberg planted by my driveway and it did fine for two years;
absolutely no problems. Then I transplanted it into one of the beds, a spot
where I had lost 3 or 4 other roses since 1999. I should have known! My
poor Iceberg, which I transplanted in January (it should have been well
established by August), dried up and died. ::sob::

So now I don't know what to do with that spot. I always put in new soil
when I transplant, but usually only in a hole large enough for
transplanting. Now I'm thinking of digging out a much larger hole and
putting in all new soil before putting anything else in there.
