Cemetary Roses.
Three weeks ago I visited my home town, Malvern Arkansas and Oak Grove
Arkansas for a reunion of cousins. At the Lone Hill and Social Hill Cemeteries I collected several rose cuttings. Most are now rooting! I have no idea what they are but plan to grow them in pots as keepsake momentos. Many of my relatives are buried at those places. Very likely these roses are hand-me-downs and could be very old. They could be new, we will see. Joe T Baytown/Houston |

I put them under a young Bald cypress near my garage where it was easy to water them daily and watch their progress. I didn't want our relentless TX sun to dry them out, which is a real concern.

Hey Gail, I have a bud! By the way, Firstrays.com has orchid pots that
work great for other plants and you can make them out of coke bottles. You drill two holes 1" up from the bottom, froming a sump in the bottom. Prevents dryout so you can water less often.

When I've done cuttings I viewed the first bud as a sign of success. Of course the process isn't finished yet, but you've made a good start. Congrats! Interesting comment about the orchid pots. Anything that works... Gail near San Antonio TX Zone 8 |

They sure look fragile at the moment. Sure hope some grow!

Well, it is budding again, five tiny buds this time on a new branch,
should I clip them or just let it flower? Joe T Baytown Gail Futoran wrote: "jtill" wrote in message ups.com... Hey Gail, I have a bud!

Clipping them will just force the rose to put more energy into producing more buds. Like when you deadhead, you're encouraging the plant to put energy in making flowers.

Well, my little old rose is blooming again, pink and just as big as a
nickel with nine more buds showing! Joe T Baytown Gail Futoran wrote: "jtill" wrote in message ups.com...
