rose chimney
Just finished up planting 6 hybrid T bushes.. Armstrong gave me these
cardboard cylinders called rose chimneys. What is their purpose? I fertilized each bush when I planted. When do I fertilize again? TIA John -- "A man is not finished when he's defeated; he's finished when he quits." -Richard Milhous Nixon |

What is their purpose? The purpose of the rose chimneys is to provide a holding place for the mulch you will put over bare root roses when you plant them so as to protect the roses from desiccating winds while they are leafing out and leaving the state of dormancy. Place the chimneys around the plant, fill it with mulch and moisten it. In a couple of weeks (assuming you are in southern california), when the plants break dormancy, remove the chimneys and clear away the mulch from the base of the plant. As for the fertilizer, I hope the fertilizer was a time release formula or something specifically useful for bare root plants like Vitamin B-1 or perhaps liquid kelp, etc. Fertilizing at planting time runs the risk of burning the roots; however, it should not be fatal.

" i want to know what is the latest roses species that had been created... I am not sure what you mean by this question. If you mean the original wild roses-the species roses, those of 5-12 petals, the answer is probably unknown with any specificity at this time. If you mean recognized classes of roses in the United States-- Hybrid Teas (traditionally recognized as created in 1867), Polyanthas (1875) Floribundas (c1924), Miniatures (c. 1936), etc, the answer is probably the latter. If you mean commercial market nomenclature--e.g. ground covers, patios, disposables, etc. the last named is probably 'shrublets,' used by Weeks a couple of years ago.. JD |
