Overwintering mini roses?

We had a few in a garden - edge of the Butterfly bed. THey lasted several
years, but a hard freeze got them and another rose. We don't - and should have
wrapped them up in blankets or other...

Pruning Roses - newbie

Yes - don't leave much of a stick beyond the 5 leaf. This is all deadheading
or cutting off the flowers that are going bad and keeping them from growing
hips (bulb looking ) under the flow taking...

Pruning Roses - newbie

I'll say two things -

We cut above the 5. We leave a half inch or just less.

A branch bud will grow from the leaf joint and in the direction
of the leaf. So you might want to pick the next one...

Hun - second thought - what greens a lawn - ammonium sulfate.
Perhaps the plants were given leaf growing chemical mix not flowers.

Small Roses

Not a grower but a plant and watcher :-)

Might have been a harsh cut back that did it. So much growth
to pull in energy that the blooms are small.

Around here the rain came early and things are...

What's wrong with my rose

Only a shot in the dark - is the rose root bound ?

How about are you using long term (rock or dissolve slow) fertilizer ?

The chemical mix might not be attuned to flowers but to green or only...

Spring is here at last!

Lady banks - the no-thorns climber is in bloom. Many others are budding.

We noticed another part of town - full bloom in a fountain display in the center
of a yard. It might have been a...

grass clippings

I don't have a professional opinion, however I have heard that
composting material consumes nitrogen. I'd compost it for use
later in the summer.

Sure - just not hard and back all the way.

If you need to take a cane back - do so.
Just don't cut off all the leaves because
it has to put energy into the roots for
growth and...

Searching for old (by age) roses

Talk to the local Master Gardener or talk to a old Graveyard facility.
Many good people take cuttings and propagate roses that are at least
that old. Some are local found and some are imported by...

Beetles

The Japanese Beetles we had in El Paso in the 50-60's were green backed

New to Roses

Spectracide or like bug spray that the plants absorb - watering and rain
won't wash off. The roses will replace the bad leaves. Best to do it before
much growth in the spring. I have to do it...

help needed

Make sure you don't over water.

Remember, once dug, the root has to re-grow. Perhaps that is going on.

If the dirt doesn't drain well - e.g. water in the hole - put a 2" plastic
pipe or a small...

Grass hoppers might not hang around long enough.

Spray with a systemic insect killer - so when they chew they take the hit.
Won't wash off.
