Question about pruning roses
Cass wrote:
All valuable information, just like the information that there are places in New York that are nominally Zone 7 where lots of things die during the winter, where winter protection is problematic because of high humidity and rainfaill, freeze thaw cycles and thin, rocky soils. I'm not sure I would characterize reporting these differences as lies. It is sound advice to go by people's "Real World" experiences with respect to HM and their cold tolerance. Hmmm .... Morpheus: Have you ever had a dream Neo that you were so sure was real. What if you were unable to wake from that dream? How would you know the difference between that dream world and the real world? Interesting analysis of some of the variables in rose-growing in different places, Cass. For those in cold places where freeze-thaw is not a big factor, anyone who lives in a zone with a higher USDA number must seem less qualified to talk about cold tolerance. However, as you point out, the Eastern Sierra is a world unto itself, west of the Rockies so much is different from the East of it, west of the Alleghenies is all New World, and only those of us who have tried to garden in wildly varying places might appreciate how Forsythia can be grown but not bloom in parts of the Mid-West, may be, for example. -- Radika California USDA 9 / Sunset 15 |
