The rose bush that the rose hip is on is a red rose bush and was transplaneted to my yard at the begining of the month. The rose hip is almost ripe.
Can you grow a rose bush from a rose hip?
not an easy job. you have to keep the hip in the crisper of the refrigerator for a couple of months and then plant the seeds in potting soil.
BTW the resulting rose will not be the same as the plant it came from. All modern roses are propagated via grafting. Usually because the root system of new roses are not very good. They take shoots from a living plant and graft them to an old world rose. When the graft takes hold they cut off the old rose stem and the root system then feeds the new cutting. That's why there is a "ball" near ground level where the new rose grows from.

Can i transplant a Rose Of Shannon that is about 10 ft tall?
If so, how deep are the roots and what is the best time of year to do this? I have the two of the most beautiful Rose Of Sharon shrubs near my deck, however, I do not think that the previous owner took into consideration how tall they would grow or the number of bees they would attract. I would hate to have to remove it completly as it is fully mature and has come back beautifully after trimming the last two years. Thanks for the help!
Can i transplant a Rose Of Shannon that is about 10 ft tall?
Cut to 6' tall, dig around the tree at least 3' from the base. Replant in new area, with plenty of water, then mulch 4" and wait until next Spring to feed it.
You will get many runners and new trees popping up from the roots left behind in the old spot. Pull and/or dig them quickly to avoid having 1000's of new trees in that area.

Reply:If it is hot at your place like its hot at mine (almost 95) wait until it cools down. The roots are probably pretty deep you will have to dig a hole at least 3 feet in diameter and probably the same depth also, you will know when you start to dig. The little roots dont matter as much as the big ones, try not to hit the tap root. After you transplant just remember WATER WATER WATER! Lots of water after transplanting, it will look bad for a while after doing it but next year it will be fine. WATER WATER WATER

Where can you get pinky mice from to feed a chilean rose tarantula?

Where can you get pinky mice from to feed a chilean rose tarantula?
you can get them from a pet shop
Reply:My corn snakes eat mice and are now on larger mice....but i used to get my pinky mice from most reptile shops....cadbury garden centre also sell them in (smallway, congresbury)....most reptile shops sell mice but not normal pet stores.......hope this has helped you!!! :)
Reply:why dont you breed your own mice
Reply:Any good pet shop should sell pinkie mice for around 30p each. Most tarantulas prefer locusts though. You can get these from exotic pet suppliers/shops. You can also get these food items from internet shops for decent prices.
Reply:Your local pet shop
Reply:from a reptile shop or a pet shop they will tell you where to get them
Reply:She probably could, but odds are it would be too much for her. Personally, I would stick with cockroaches (not as noisy as a cricket and more nutritious) or, in a pinch, large crickets. Generally a pet store will carry pinkies. The only issue I can see is that most pet stores keep them frozen, and tarantulas generally wont eat a thing unless its alive. You can always try though... Good luck!
Reply:if u go too ur nearest pet shop they will point u in the right direction

How to keep a rose bud closed..?
I am making a boutenneire (sorry for the spelling) for my son for his prom tomorrow, I have 3 slightly opened rose buds, I will only be using one of them with some baby's breath but I need to know how to keep them closed. I dont want them to open up over night. Any other tips would be appreciated, thanks so much
How to keep a rose bud closed..?
Yes the fridge is sometimes a good idea. But sometimes there is so much Etheline gas in your fridge that it makes the roses open faster. My suggestion is to cut the roses and put them in water overnight. Just before making the boutonniere you can peel off the rose petals until you have the desired look, it may seem awful to you, but as a floral designer I can tell you we do this all the time.

Who Nose about a Rose? I was pruning roses for one of the first times ever for me, and I ended up with?
ALL THESE HARD RED BULBS WHERE THE PETALS FELL OFF.
Aren't these rose hips? If they are, I heard they're very healthful.
What can I do with them? Is there a method of processing them so I can make tea? Some are dark brown and dried up,
some are red and some are green. They're almost an inch in diameter, and I don't want to throw them out if they can be put to good use.. thanks for any suggestions!

after all, a nose by any other name would smell as sweet...
seriously though, I think you are right about those being rose hips, and I think they have a lot of vitamin C in them. As far as consuming them, you would want to be sure that you have not used any pesticides on them, and they are not right down close to the street or driveway where they could have been exposed to a lot of car exhaust.
I checked some of my herbal resources, and here is what I found:
Herbal Remedies from the Wild by Corrine Martin says
"although some of the vitamin content is lost in drying and processing, rose hip tea does provide some nutrition and is a healing aid in colds and influenza"
"rose petals are astringent and can be used in skin preparations to help reduce inflammation and provide some tone"
"Gather petals when the flower is in full bloom and spread to dry on screens or cheesecloth in a location where ventilation is optimal and light is low. To harvest rose hips, wait until the first of fall frosts have turned the hips bright crimson. Gather and process immediately. The larger hips should be halved and the seeds and small hairs removed... Spread one layer thick on cookie sheets, and place on the middle rack of the oven. Set temperature to lowest setting, prop the door open to let the moisture escape, and let dry for several hours. When dried, cool and store."
Probably more than you wanted to know about rose hips, huh? LOL!

How good can Derrick Rose be in the NBA? Also what is his best comparison he can be and his worse comparison?
I think he good be a good impact player right away. Unselfish and great just focuz and leadership on the court. He is has the passing skills of C Paul but the strenght of Billups. I like Rose a lot and he can be a superstart and maybe get some championships, Agree?
How good can Derrick Rose be in the NBA? Also what is his best comparison he can be and his worse comparison?
He is the Best PG in the world not in the NBA? He does everything well and is leading a veteran team in Memphis in just his first year. This kid has 'Super Star' written all over him. The best PG prospect since Chris Paul/Deron Williams, and could easily go 1st overall depending on team needs. Rose would be a GREAT fit with Durant and Green in Seattle.
He is part Jason Kidd, part Dwyane Wade, potentially better scorer than Kidd, not as explosive offensively as Wade, but a better floor general and distributor. Lacks dependable jumpshot, but does show the penchant for hitting big shots. Barring injury will be top 3 point guards in NBA for next 10 years.
Reply:ehh... it's just wrong that you're comparing Derrick Rose to CP3. Derrick Rose won't play that great next year. At least that's my opinion... Gah, Steve Nash better get his title back from CP3 next year.

How can I relocate a climbing rose in november ?
My friend is having a conservatory built onto the house in December. There is a rose (climber about 12' tall) growing where conservatory will go. As rose was planted by his elderly mother, he would like to save it, and grow it elsewhere. Take cuttings ? Any suggestions please ? Thanks HJ.
How can I relocate a climbing rose in november ?
By all means take cuttings and use a good `rooting powder` before planting them. You need to prune the bush back really hard. Prune it down to about three feet, then dig up the root keeping as much of the original root soil as possible. Before you place it in a pre dug hole, water the `hole` profusely and put some rooting `food` in. After planting, stamp the soil down really well and re-water. It sounds drastic to cut it back this way, but it will do the plant a favour and it will grow even stronger stems for next year.If we get a frost or very cold weather, try and protect it by wrapping newspaper and polythene around it, until the worst of the cold weather is over.
Reply:take cutting is the best idea. put them in a green house if possible
Reply:Its a good time of the year to move. Dig it up %26amp; move it as long as there is no frost . Bury it lower than the graft . Good luck!
Reply:1.. Cutings won't work. The rose will have been grafted onto special rootstock and the cutting will not be true to type (you will end up with a wild rose).
2. Roses were traditioinally planted in the winter on with bare roots. Cut the plant right back, dig it up and re-plant it (keeping as much soil as you can on the roots). Mulch the plant well and make sure over the next few months that it is secure in the ground (after a windy spell) and that it is not waterlogged.
Reply:Cut it back %26amp; use the best cutting %26amp; start the in the green house, then dig up the rest %26amp; try to relocate it %26amp; hopefuly u'll get both to grow. Always have a back up.
Reply:This is a good time of year to move it. First trim it back, then take it up retaining a lot of soil. Move it where you want it and water it well for a few weeks. It should be fine next spring.
Reply:This is a fine time to move it. I would also take cuttings just to ensure you have the rose for good. It is beginning to be the dormant season for roses, so it is safe to move it without disruption. You do not want to move it while in full flower. In fact, the best tie is before bud break in the srping and while it is defoliated, (no or few leaves) if you can before the ground gets too hard. If your garden is still soft and plantable now; it is a great time to do it. Casa Hiedra above, has great advice.
