Bio-degradable ?
Hi
I bought an interesting (blue!) climbing rose today. It has green wax type stuff on the stems. Does this need to be removed or will it disintegrate by itself ? Jenny |

Jenny Jenny my son in law had over £400.00 worth of hedging plants pinched the night after they had been planted. He was advised to spray the replacements with an identifying paint, red, yellow, blue etc, so that they could easily be seen at the next car boot sale. Where did you get yours from? |

... Hi I bought an interesting (blue!) climbing rose today. It has green wax type stuff on the stems. Does this need to be removed or will it disintegrate by itself ? Jenny We've bought roses from the supermarkets and they often have the green wax on them. It doesn't seem to wash off but does fade to a light grey colour. Doesn't seem to do any harm although it looks a bit unsightly. I expect it helps with storing them in warehouses or something... -- Martin & Anna Sykes ( Remove x's when replying ) http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~sykesm |

Martin & Anna Sykes Yes, I expect it's to keep them 'moist' ......... I was just wondering whether it would slow down growth? Jenny |
