Rose question
When should I expect to see some life from a newly planted bare root rose? I
planted it straight after delivery about a month ago but it still just looks like a dead twig. My other roses are full of buds & growing strongly. Thanks, Jayne |

Still green underneath? If so don't quite write it off yet? Rod |

I planted it straight after delivery about a month ago but it still just looks like a dead twig. My other roses are full of buds & growing strongly. Thanks, Jayne Jayne, have you been giving it loads of water? I bought some bare root roses from Morrisons supermarket and two of the three looked dead(ish). I followed the instructions to soak them in water overnight, and ended up soaking them for over a day as well. To my surprise they had already started showing little red shoots when I came to plant them out (in tubs). They seemed to stop once planted out, so I have made a point of watering them every day and keeping the compost really moist. They seem to like this and are all sprouting well. HTH Dave R P.S. what size are the stem or stems? With my 3 Peace roses I have found that the thinner the old wood the more readily it shoots. Thickness of a pencil or less - loads of activity. 10 mm diameter - reluctant sprouting 20 mm diameter - (only one) - nothing Been meaning to post this for a few days :-) |

Rose question
I've been watering, have fertilised & mulched with bark. This one was from
Spaldings & I paid quite a lot for it as it was very pretty (in the picture!). It's been raining buckets for a couple of days now too - I will go & see if I can see any green under the bark as suggested by Rod. It is about 30cm tall & quite thin - about the thickness of a pencil. I will be disappointed if it doesn't grow. :-( Jayne "David W.E. Roberts" wrote in message ...

Like feeding a sick child on gin & kippers. If you have a plant you know is strong and healthy just coming out of normal dormancy you can feed that and kick it of to a good start. Rod |
