Dark yellow blooms.
Very thorny
Are about 12-18 inches tall.
There are 6 rose plants on the east side of my house.
They are each growing about a foot apart with no overlapping.
What kind of rose plants do I have?
They sound like young hedge roses. Yellow is one of the newer colors in hedge roses. If you don't think this is it go to a L%26amp;G center that has a reference materials area and look at some of the books with rose "varities". If you can't find a L%26amp;G with a library ask them for local "rose clubs" and get in touch with them.

Where are the seeds in a rose?
i picked a rose from my bush outside and am letting it dry out. was just wondering where the seeds are in the rose, so i can try to plant them for fun. thanx. no mean comments please.
Where are the seeds in a rose?
Rose seeds are found in the hips, which is the fruit of a rose. If your rose is a hybrid, you may not have hips. They are found predominantly on species roses. Hips are edible, by the way, and are a good source of vitamin C.
Reply:After a while roses develop a red "rose hip." It starts as a swelling a the base of the flower. Inside the rosehip are several seeds. Birds swallow them and that's how they get distributed. I'm not sure that all roses set hips. They are not easy to propogate that way anyway.
Reply:Roses form a fruit called a rose hip, when the blooms are left on the rose. The seeds are in that. By picking the rose you prevented it from making seeds.

Rose flower growers, help needed, what do rose plants really like please read below?
I grow some roses in OR zone 7, and they do fine, but I just bought 5 more and I want to plant them where they will be really happy. I have good soil and raise a lot of flowers and it is hot here in the summer altho it gets cool at night. It seems that if they get any a.m. shade, they tend towards mildew on their leaves and I think they like a.m. sun with afternoon shade, as do most plants here. Any good suggestions besides spraying and all ? Or any new info on raising happy rose plants. They are hybrid teas.
Rose flower growers, help needed, what do rose plants really like please read below?
you already know all the answers on how to grow them but one thing we have discovered is that if you buy some fish emulsion and pour it around their roots they will go crazy..they also like the epsom salt. I find the Old English much easier to raise than the teas plus they do not create nearly as much waste and are much more disease resistant.The way to keep them happy is to prune them regularly and sometimes harshly.
But you already know that.
Reply:Give them as much sun during the day as you can and they don't mind the heat AT ALL (I'm in SC). If the humidity is high or they get 'dewy' overnight you might need to spray an antifungal on them. Water them from the bottom or if you use a sprinkler do it early enough in the day so they are dry by dark.
Reply:Roses do best in full sun. They will get powdery mildew when there is high humidity no matter how much sun they are getting. A great preventative of any fungal diseases is to water them at the base only and avoid getting any of the leaves wet. They really like to be fed and they must be treated to prevent affid infestations and fungal diseases. You mentioned spraying, which should be done monthly OR
Bayer Advanced has a fairly new product out call All-in-One which feeds, handles insects and funguses. The best part is that there is no spraying! This is a concentrate that you mix with water and pour in around the base of the bushes every six weeks and it protects them from the inside out.
I am in Arkansas and we have high humidity plus extreme fluctuations in the weather, so mine perform their very best when I use the Bayer Advanced every 4 weeks instead of every 6. In years with extremely strange springs and if my bushes get black spot before I am able to get on top of it, then I will spray AND treat with Bayer's All-in-One.
Hope this helps! Good Luck %26amp; Happy Planting!

Rose type: I am looking for a rose i found last year on the net?
The rose blooms once then leaves very large thorns on the cane that look like stained glass when looked at through the sunlight. Thought to be exotic, chinese, but can't find it anywhere.

Does anyone know the type of rose grown around ocean homes, atleast in the northeast?
They have large rose hips and are very fragrant. Usually a deep pink but I've seen other shades as well. Also, why do I not see them away from the ocean? I'd love to add one our two to my rose garden if possible.
Does anyone know the type of rose grown around ocean homes, atleast in the northeast?
Rosa Rugosa: These hardy roses, also known as the Beach Rose, can be seen growing along roads and in sand dunes with high winds and salt spray. Introduced into the West from Japan and western Asia around 1796 and brought to America in the nineteeth centry. Rugosas are low maintenance, disease free and bear fragrant long lasting blooms. Their hips add a distinct beauty to the garden and are a good source of vitamin C. The foliage has a crinkled look that will show off colorful fall colors.
http://www.countrycareroses.com/page2.ht...
Take a look:
http://www.heirloomroses.com/cgi/browse....
Rugosa roses are very drought and salt tolerant because Rugosas evolved along ocean shorelines where they were exposed to sandy, dry soil and salt spray. This tolerance is great for those who want to place a hedge of roses next to a road that gets salted in the winter.
This site illustrates the many different types of Rugosas.
http://www.springvalleyroses.com/catalog...
I've grown several types of Rugosas %26amp; really like the double-flowered "Thérèse Bugnet" shown here :
http://www.springvalleyroses.com/catalog...
More people would grow Rugosas if they knew that deer stay away from them %26amp; the rose hips contain more vitamin C than oranges! :)

Reply:In the spring, I found the bare root "Thérèse Bugnet" at both WalMart %26amp; the Tractor Supply store for less than $5. Many Rugosas grow to 6 ft, but Theresa B. doesn't grow bigger than 5ft %26amp; blooms all summer. Thanks for letting me know this was helpful :) Report It
Reply:Rosa Rugosa. Rugosa Rose. You may find a "wild rose" type that will grow in the DC area, not quite as prickly, but just as pink. "Nearly Wild" was a rugosa I planted in Maine this summer. They like dry, sandy soils and don't do well in the heat, and like sunny and windy places. I've seen some similar looking ones in highway borders around N.Va.
Reply:I believe these are wild roses and tolerate the winds, saltwater and hot sun. You would probably have to dig one up or get it's seed. I don't think this is something you can get at a nursery.

What kind of rose systemic is the best? Is there a particular ingredient 2 look 4 or brand?
My rose carpets are dying and I'm sooo worried! I guess they got a disease or something (definitely have black spots and are now just turning brown and becoming twigs!). ...oh and 4 my geraniums should i spray a regular liquid soap and water mix on them to get rid of whiteflies..i think they're whiteflies..the soap won't harm them? How much do i use and how often?
What kind of rose systemic is the best? Is there a particular ingredient 2 look 4 or brand?
With black spots, a systemic is too late. You need to find a liquid feed that kills the cause of the black spots while providing a fertilizer at the same time.
http://www.ortho.com/index.cfm/event/Pro...
is a link to Ortho Rose Care Shrub disease and pest control, a liquid that contains both ferltilzer and disease control products.
If after 2 weeks of this Indian Summer, you don't see healthy new growth, cut off all the branches with heavy indication of black spots and prune back for winter. Add a different basic granular fertilizer after the first rainfall of the season, and let it rest for the winter. Feed it again with your systemic at the first leaf in spring.
Reply:The only thing I know about roses is that you can't eat them and they have pointy things. Good to hear from you, I was worried about you. Everything OK? Oh yeah---are these first year roses? Did you just put them in?

How to serve rose and white wines?
I love the Ca de Meci brand white and rose wines. I just am wondering if I should serve it chilled or at room temperature. I personally like it a t room temp, but guests have told me chilled.
How to serve rose and white wines?
Generally whites are chilled, and reds are room temperature. But of course, its your wine, you can do what you like. A red wine spritzer (which is chilled) is just as good, or better than a white wine. I tend to go by my personal tastes, and if I need to have two bottles for my more 'conventional guests' so be it.
I mean, I understand the why of it all, but really why the need for all these rules. I mean dang!
Oh, yeah occasionally, the winery will offer suggestions on the back of the bottle as to which temper. the wine is best served at.
Reply:Wine should be served at:
Red wine: 55-60 degrees Fahrenheit / 12.7-15.5 degrees Centigrade
White wine: 49-56 degrees Fahrenheit / 9.5-13.3 degrees Centigrade
Rose wine: 49-51 degrees Fahrenheit / 9.5-10.5 degrees Centigrade
It is important to remember that when people talk about "room temperature" for red wines that this is room temperature for old world Europe, not the room temperature in a house with modern heating and cooling.
These are the ideal guidelines, but it is also up to your preference. A good friend of mine lets his reds warm up a little more and prefers them that way - to each their own.
Two more tips:
1. Do not keep your wine in your refrigerator in on top of it for more than a day or two. The vibrations of the motor really break wine down.
2. Make sure to let your wines breathe for 15 to 45 minutes (shorter on the range for the whites, and longer on the reds)before serving. This helps a lot with the flavor of most wines, but it also means that unless you have a free standing open bottle cooler (cheaper terra cotta ones run about $15) the bottle will need to be cooler than the above when you open it so it will be in the above ranges when consumed.
Reply:Actually, I believe it's in between both. Whites lose their flavor at almost icy temps. But you don't want white/rose at room temp. Remember, wine used to be kept in cellars where the average temp was about 55F. The fridge will keep them a hair below 40F. So just pull the bottles out an hour beforehand, let them breathe, they'll be perfect.
Reply:Chilled on both
Reply:Chilled, and colder by at least 5-10 degrees F than Kurt U directs. (Perhaps on his trips to Europe he drank so much that he failed to see all the ice buckets).

Rose Question: How do you make one of those little rose trees?
They are usually about four-five feet high and only have one "trunk" and bunch of branches, leaves and roses on top. I know a little bit aobut roses but I'm not sure what kind of rose to start with and how to train it into the tree shape.
Rose Question: How do you make one of those little rose trees?
Those Rose Trees are GRAFTED. A rose bush grafted onto a standard. You can use almost any rose bush. Except maybe climbers...which would get to big to fast.
Reply:If you have a public library, the answer will be there. Around 635, I think. Books on gardens, on bushes, on pruning and training, on roses.... You can read the experts, find out what the different ways are.

What is the best way to root cuttings from a rose bush?
I came across a landscaper where I work who was clipping the rose bushes around the building. I picked up a nice cutting immediately after he clipped it and have had it in water since. After a week, it still appears to be alive.
What is the best way to root cuttings from a rose bush?
Rooting Rose Cuttings
Reprinted From “Gold Coast Roses,” October, 2002
* First Method: Take a 12” stem with the just-bloomed rose removed. We are told to use softwood cuttings in summer, hardwood in winter. The cutting should have 4 to 6 leaf sets.
Remove all but the top two leaf sets. Cut the stem just ABOVE the top leaf set, and just BELOW the bottom eye. For best results, take the cutting from right where the stem joins the cane, as the cells there are different — but this isn’t always possible. With a razor blade or sharp knife, cut into the bottom of the stem, quartering it. Go up at least a half-inch. Some shave off bark for an inch on either side of the cutting, near the bottom. You can dip the cane in rooting hormone. Make a hole in the medium, so the hormone isn’t wiped away. Insert cutting.
The medium varies. Old-timers recommend sticking the cutting into the soil near the “mother plant.” Any friable soil will do, and you can use very coarse builder’s sand. Potting soil is adequate. Some spray the bed with a fungicide to prevent mildew and blackspot. Do not overwater, as the cuttings may rot. You can put a large glass container over the cutting, or add a plastic cover.
* A far-out method worked here. Prepare a half-dozen cuttings. Use no rooting hormone. Place the cuttings in a zip-top bag, with wet newspapers squeezed into balls. (Use 3 or 4 balls.) Use NO medium. Flatten the bag, to remove most of the air, then seal it. Keep in refrigerator until the slips appear to callus. This might take a month. When callus, or white roots form, remove the cuttings and plant in good soil, or kitty litter.
* The journal of England’s Royal Horticultural Society wrote up a method: Take cuttings from healthy young bushes. Here, July or September would be fine. Prepare as usual. The rooting medium is sand, loam, and peat moss, in proportions of 3-1-1. Place a 4” pot inside a 6” pot Add pebbles or broken clay pot parts for one inch under the 4-in. pot.
There will be 1 in of space all around the outside of the smaller pot. Fill that space with the medium, and wet well. Insert cuttings in this space. Place in a cool, shady spot, or in a plastic bag. Roots should form in 6 to 8 weeks. When cuttings are well-rooted, remove the inner pot, and plant in the ground.
* The simplest method, which has met with mixed success, is to cut a rose in full and glorious bloom. Leave it in water, to enjoy it. When the bloom fades, cut it off, and leave the stem in the water. This worked for our grandmothers.
http://www.goldcoastrose.org/shared/root...
It can take anywhere from ten days to four months for a cutting to root, depending on the method you use, the time of year, and the quality and variety of cuttings.

Reply:my grandma would start all her roses from cuttings...... she would take the bottom leaves off the stem and stick it in the ground, then place a gallon mayo jar over the stem to act as a greenhouse. leave the jar over the cutting until next mothers day then remove the jar. the cutting should have rooted and you should have another beautiful rose bush. also as fertilizer for her roses she would put coffee grounds around the roots.

Can a cut rose be planted and grow? I have 1 that has started growing leaves and a branch on it.?
If I were to plant it outside would it grow, or die? And if I did plant it outside do I need to cut off the top dead rose? Its just 1 stem.
Can a cut rose be planted and grow? I have 1 that has started growing leaves and a branch on it.?
Hey Laurie,
This is how cuttings are taken, usually minus the rose. The rose takes a lot of energy from the growth process. You can start rose plants that way though. They will eventually root in the water, and you can in turn, plant that cutting. This may cause the plant to revert to it's original type, since you probably took it from a grafted rose plant.
The first three sites include steps, tips, and methods for propagating roses from cuttings. The last includes grafting and rootstock.
Happy Rose Gardening
Reply:A cut flower can never grow into a plant, it will die once it dries off,only cut stems can grow into a new plant n tht can give u lots of new rose flowers.
Reply:Roses are incredibly resilient. There is not guarantee that any of this will work, but the plant will often grow. I would not cut the top dead rose off yet. Next year when the plant is stronger you will need to prune off the roses that don't look right, but this year let it grow and heal itself.
Reply:You sure can. Make sure before planting it outdoors that it has a good root system and all danger of freezing weather or frost is past.
Remove the dead rose NOW! it is slowing down the growth of the roots.
It's called propogation by cuttings.

When Martha Stewart makes cuttings of roses she puts them in a pot of sand to take root.
Reply:I would play with it and see what happens. Just don'y put it outside just yet.
get some soiless planting mix and rooting hormone and plop it in and watch it carefully.It is obviously trying to grow so help it along
You may just get a new rose-bush
Reply:If the conditions are right there is no reason why it should not grow. As to the quality of blooms, if any, you would have to wait and watch. I once had a cut rose root and grow - I got it in a bouquet and stuck the stem in a pot as support for another small plant ! However even though it grew about 2 feet, it died of 'die back' thereafter. Mind you, roses dont grow that well here in Mumbai to start with, neither am I a rose grower, I much prefer other plants, so just because my rooted cutting died does not mean anything. Do post your results, it would be interesting to know.
Reply:Go to the local nursery and get "Rooting Hormone". make a clean cut on the bottom of the stem and put this powder on it. Set it in a cup with wet peat moss in the bottom and keep it moist and in the dark. After a few days it should start developing roots. You can then transfer it to a pot and then outside.
Not guaranteed to work, but this is the way to go about rooting a clipping.

Reply:I have seen roses that will send out a side shoot and have people tell that they planted it and produced a new plant. Most forced roses use up all their energy in flower production. You can try to cut the stem down close to where the shoot is, dip it in rootone and plant it in well-drained moist soil. You will need to maintain a moist and humid environment for anything to happen. Can't guarantee that anything will happen but it might be a fun experiment.
Reply:roses are grown in soil too after getting roots, dont cut dead flower as it withers away, if u want to plant it outside,dont disturb the soil surrounding the roots.
Can a cut rose be planted and grow? I have 1 that has started growing leaves and a branch on it.?
Hey Laurie,
This is how cuttings are taken, usually minus the rose. The rose takes a lot of energy from the growth process. You can start rose plants that way though. They will eventually root in the water, and you can in turn, plant that cutting. This may cause the plant to revert to it's original type, since you probably took it from a grafted rose plant.
The first three sites include steps, tips, and methods for propagating roses from cuttings. The last includes grafting and rootstock.
Happy Rose Gardening
Reply:A cut flower can never grow into a plant, it will die once it dries off,only cut stems can grow into a new plant n tht can give u lots of new rose flowers.
Reply:Roses are incredibly resilient. There is not guarantee that any of this will work, but the plant will often grow. I would not cut the top dead rose off yet. Next year when the plant is stronger you will need to prune off the roses that don't look right, but this year let it grow and heal itself.
Reply:You sure can. Make sure before planting it outdoors that it has a good root system and all danger of freezing weather or frost is past.
Remove the dead rose NOW! it is slowing down the growth of the roots.
It's called propogation by cuttings.

When Martha Stewart makes cuttings of roses she puts them in a pot of sand to take root.
Reply:I would play with it and see what happens. Just don'y put it outside just yet.
get some soiless planting mix and rooting hormone and plop it in and watch it carefully.It is obviously trying to grow so help it along
You may just get a new rose-bush
Reply:If the conditions are right there is no reason why it should not grow. As to the quality of blooms, if any, you would have to wait and watch. I once had a cut rose root and grow - I got it in a bouquet and stuck the stem in a pot as support for another small plant ! However even though it grew about 2 feet, it died of 'die back' thereafter. Mind you, roses dont grow that well here in Mumbai to start with, neither am I a rose grower, I much prefer other plants, so just because my rooted cutting died does not mean anything. Do post your results, it would be interesting to know.
Reply:Go to the local nursery and get "Rooting Hormone". make a clean cut on the bottom of the stem and put this powder on it. Set it in a cup with wet peat moss in the bottom and keep it moist and in the dark. After a few days it should start developing roots. You can then transfer it to a pot and then outside.
Not guaranteed to work, but this is the way to go about rooting a clipping.

Why my rose opens and last only 3 days?
I have a Mr Lincoln rose and one bud opened fully last Saturday and the petals are falling already today which is Monday. What is the problem? I think the rose should last longer than that. Is anyone knows how long a rose stay open? Thank you so much.
Why my rose opens and last only 3 days?
The hotter it is, the faster they will wilt and die. You can make sure they are getting enough water and make sure you water from the bottom. You can dead head your roses and hope to get more blooms.
Reply:Number of petals decides how quick they will open. Roses also need to be watered during dry season.

I want my rose bushes to have more leaves?
I live in Florida, and the rose bushes I want to make more 'healthier' and have more leaves, look like stalks, with barely any leaves.
The county I live in is Hillsborough. Thanks.
I want my rose bushes to have more leaves?
You can normally get a plant to grow more leaves by adding more nitrogen to the soil.
This comes at a cost, though. The nitrogen increases leaf production but normally this reduces the amount of blooms that are produced.
Reply:first of all trim all the leaves by the bottom stem, this will allow the bush to get more water to the top, you will see more bulps grow.

How do you start growing a rose from a piece of stem with no apparent root showing?
I was given a Long Stem White Rose which I placed in a vase with water. The Rose never fully bloomed. Instead, the stem started showing growth and the flower completely died. I cannot see any sign of rooting. How do I accomplish beginning a root base for the stem to continue producing growth for planting?
How do you start growing a rose from a piece of stem with no apparent root showing?
Make sure you cut off any flower or hip(the part under the flower) first. It will use up needed nutrients. If it's a very long stem, cut into 2-3" sections, preferably with a leaf section in each.Cut the bottom at an angle with a sharp knife or razor. Dip bottom end into Rootone or any other rooting compund(available at any garden center). I haven't had any luck with rooting roses in water. Mine do better in a small pot with moist sand. Good luck! PS. Most long stemmed roses are hybrids, so you may not get the same flower you started with.
Reply:get some B-12 from your nursery, cut the end of the stalk at an angle with a razor blade...Dip the stalk in the B-12 and plant it...The B-12 helps to promote root growth...
Reply:Try Schultz Take Root. It's a powder that you put in the container containing the water and rose. It is available at Walmart, Lowe's, etc. for less than $5. It works on other plants, too. Leave it in the water until the roots are healthy.

How do you seperate a bleeding heart plant & a rose bush?
My mother has a bleeding heart plant %26amp; a rose bush that I would love to have a starter plant from but we have no clue how %26amp; when to seperate them?
How do you seperate a bleeding heart plant %26amp; a rose bush?
Bleeding heart plants can be separated, but rose bushes are typically grafted onto root stock of a stronger rose variety - they'll have all above ground shoots formed from one above ground basal shoot, so there is nothing to separate. For this reason roses can be propogated by cuttings, and come to true to type, though they may not grow as strongly on their own roots compared to the same variety grafted onto a stronger plant's roots. You can graft roses, so it would still be possible to have a vigorous plant.
Rose cuttings work well if taken as 6'' to 8'' long stems, which are frequently cut after flowering has finished. Remove all material down to the first 2 healthy leaves, and cut at around 45 degrees. Dip in hormone rooting powder or solution, and place in 2/3rds sand and 1/3 peat, in a shady area. Remove the lower foliage that will go underground, for around a couple of inches. Don't allow them to dry out until they are well rooted.
I'd divide a Bleeding heart plant in autumn or spring, just use a couple of forks, and prise the plant apart. Replant, add some humus to the space, such as peat or compost, and ensure the plant is watered, as there will have been some stress from the division.
Hope this helps. Good luck! Rob
Reply:The first link is a forum discussing propagation of the bleeding heart - go down about halfway.
The second is on propagating roses.
Good luck!
Reply:One way would be to take a garden hose with a nozzle that produces a jet stream of water. Begin spraying the soil and pulling it back away from the roots until enough is exposed to safely seperate the two without damaging the small feeder roots.
Once that is accomplished remove the plant and wrap the roots in a wet towel or put into a bucket of water to take it to the desired planting location and replant.

How can I make good rose hips tea from real roses I get?
I've got all these roses from last week. I think you dry them or cut the top or something but I'm not having luck finding instructions. Indians has such cool rose-water-like juice. That or rose hips tea would be great, and is it only with red or can I do it with the other colored roses too?
How can I make good rose hips tea from real roses I get?
Rose hips are the pomaceous fruit of the rose plant, not the flower. You cannot make rose hip tea from roses. You could, however, attempt to make rose water. I don't think color matters, as long as they are a fragrant variety.
Rose Water, Method #1
This recipe is the more traditional way to prepare rose water. Though it's a little more involved, its fun to do and the results are outstanding. You can make a quart of excellent-quality rose water in about 40 minutes. However, if you simmer the water too long, you will continue to produce distilled water but the rose essence will become diluted. Your rose water will smell more like plain distilled water, rather than the heavenly scent of roses.
Be sure you have a brick and heat-safe stainless steel or glass quart bowl ready before you begin.
Ingredients
2-3 quarts fresh roses or rose petals
water
ice cubes or crushed ice
1. In the center of a large pot (the speckled blue canning pots are ideal) with an inverted lid (a rounded lid), place a fireplace brick. On top of the brick place the bowl. Put the roses in the pot; add enough flowers to reach the top of the brick. Pour in just enough water to cover the roses. The water should be just above the top of the brick.
2. Place the lid upside down on the pot. Turn on the stove and bring the water to a rolling boil, then lower heat to a slow steady simmer. As soon as the water begins to boil, toss two or three trays of ice cubes (or a bag of ice) on top of the lid.
3. You've now created a home still! As the water boils the steam rises, hits the top of the cold lid, and condenses. As it condenses it flows to the center of the lid and drops into the bowl. Every twenty minutes, quickly lift the lid and take out a tablespoon or two of the rose water. It's time to stop when you have between a pint and a quart of water that smells and tastes strongly like roses.
Reply:Don't use just any roses you get to make rose hip tes. Most roses have a lot of insecticide still on it. Only use rose hips or rose petal that you grew yourself or bought for food. Rose hip and roses are two different things. Rose hip is the fruit that follows after the flower petals fall. Thats the round green thing on the rose plant. Just steep them with what ever, like tea. It has a lot of vitamin c.

How do you prune a rose bush?
My boyfriend just got a new house; I don't live with him but I tend to the flowers. There are rose bushes that were already there that we would like to keep. The only problem it that they look as if no one has pruned them since they were planted. I have never pruned rose bushes and would appreciate any help in the matter.
How do you prune a rose bush?
Wait until late winter, early spring, then take clippers to all the limbs so when you are finished, none of the bush is taller than 12-18 inches.
If they are unkempt, in the spring when it starts to grow back, look for leachers which will have wild red roses....you should clip those off as far to the plant as you can.
All roses come from one variety and have other varieties grafted on to them. If the wild rose is allowed to grow, it saps all the energy from the graft rose and takes over.
Reply:Pruning should be done in late winter/early spring, so that you can enjoy wonderful flowers in summer, as the bushes receive plenty of sun. By pruning them you will get rid of the frost and dead, and according to P. Allen Smith, a master in the garden field, it will allow your bushes to come out of a dormant period. For better and more accurate responses to your question, visit the link below, where you will find answers to this and other questions on roses and gardening. Good luck!
Reply:First of all trim all dead branches as close to the main stalks as possible. Next trim all dead or dying blooms down tothe first set of three leaves on the stem. If they are truly way over grown cut them all the way down to within 18 inches of the ground . Don't worry fertilize them and they will grow very well.
Reply:Roses generally bloom in summer but should be pruned late winter/early spring just as the buds appear. This can vary from late January to March depending on the area of the country you are in. Prune too early and you will cause early growth that is vulnerable to frost damage. Prune too late and you will waste energy the plant already put into making the buds and leaves you remove. The best time is after the last frost when buds are beginning to swell.

How can I keep my rose fresh?
I bought a rose for my boyfriend. I put it in a vase with room temperature water, and I put a little bit of rose miracle grow in it. will it be ok until Wednesday? what can I do to keep it fresh?
How can I keep my rose fresh?
Cut the stem at an angle under water, then immediately put it in fresh room temperature water. Cutting it under water is important because that prevents an air bubble from forming at the end of the stem, which allows bacteria to grow, which blocks the water from being absorbed through the stem.
Remove any leaves that would be under water, but leave the thorns on. Put floral preservative in the water (the little packets they give you at the florist, NOT Miracle Grow). It provides three things - sugar to feed the rose, an acid to help the water move up the stem, and an antibacterial/antifungal agent. If you don't have a preservative, try this: start with 1 quart of water, add 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon bleach. Change the water completely every other day - don't just add more.
Also, keep your flowers away from fruit, out of sunlight, and in a cooler area. Check the website below for more information.
Reply:Put gingerale or sprite/ 7up instead of water, keep it in the fridge if no one is around to look at it.

What is the best way to dry out a rose by hangning it?
I've never had to use hairspray, aerosol or otherwise, on flowers to dry them. You can dry roses or pretty much any flower in the same manner. I take the bunch and arrange them in the manner I want them to lay, then tie with twine and hang in a cool dark place for a couple of weeks. Seems like I heard somewhere that the hairspray doesn't really affect the color of the flowers, but it may help keep the petals attached longer.
Reply:regular hairspray does sometimes work. my aunt hung her bouquet and sprayed a tad on to keep the rate of the drying up.

Is it important to plant rose of sharons deeply? mine still look like twigs two years later.?
I planted some rose of sharons that were given to me a couple of years ago. they still look like immature plants. they hardly get flowers on them. they basically look about the same exept a little taller maybe. the person who gave them to me didn't plant them vary deep and i wondered if that might be the issue? I have been reading about rose of sharons and everyone says how they spread and how easily they grow. What am i doing wrong?
Is it important to plant rose of sharons deeply? mine still look like twigs two years later.?
Trees and shrubs should always be planted at the same depth they were before they were dug up. Planting them too deeply is just as bad as not planting them deep enough.
Wait until the plants have gone dormant (after a hard freeze and all the leaves have dropped) and transplant your ROS. Dig a new hole for it that is a little larger than the rootball and not quite as deep. Add some compost when refilling the hole. The top of the rootball should be about 2" above ground level. Now here's the trick: Mound at least 2" of topsoil over the rootball. This will allow for good drainage so your ROS won't drown. Then apply some mulch, about 2", over the topsoil, but don't pile the mulch up against the trunk.
After it is replanted, do a little pruning. The pruning will encourage the plant to branch out. ROS bloom on new wood, so when it is pruned that encourages the plant to produce more new branches in the spring. More new wood equals more blossoms, so prune that ROS every winter.
Reply:I have had them for a long time and they do spread like crazy. They have never been very fussy about sunlight, watering, lack of fertilizer, or soil quality. Even the volunteer ones that started from dropped seeds grew about 6 foot high in a few years. I am stumped.

If so - it is "A woman with a rose" by Abbott Fuller Graves.
Reply:For information on artists living or dead, try sites like: "absolutearts.com" or "worldwidearts.com" and type in whatever you have--artist name, type of work, style of work, medium used, size, etc. Is it a print, a painting, a photograph, an original, a print? These things all effect the value, as does the condition. Also type their name in quotes on a search engine like www.dogpile.com "John Doe", and see what comes up.
If the artist is dead, a gallery link might pop up. A gallery dealing with the works or the estate of an artist can give you a lot of useful information, might be able to tell you the value and if there is a market for the work.

What is the best way to grow a blue rose?
I know there is no "true blue" rose, so is it even possible or practical to grow on blue?
What is the best way to grow a blue rose?
I don't think you can grow one. You can, however, pick a white one and put the stem in water with blue food coloring in it. As the rose drinks the water it should turn blue.
Reply:Here's what I can tell you: The rose you are talking about is not really blue, but lavender-colored -- but it's still so unusual that people refer to it as a "blue" rose. It has an EXTREMELY strong fragrance and is a prolific bloomer.
Treat this rose the same way you would treat any other tea rose, as far as feeding goes. Water your roses well in the heat of summer especially.
Since it is such a prolific bloomer though, I would encourage you to dead head (cut off dead blossoms) regularly to encourage more bud formation. Some people don't keep this type of rose bush tidy, just because there are so many blooms on it and they feel they can't keep up with it.
Reply:growers have been trying for ages nothing yet just use sm food dye burt so many other brillant roses to enjoy too nature isnt there to be tamed
Reply:I have a "blue girl" tea rose, it is a blue/lavender grey. Very beautiful.
Reply:You could try planting white roses and add blue dye to the base of it. See if the petals turn blue.
Reply:Get the closest color and add coffe grinds and banna peels for extra color to the soil.
Reply:I think they have to be died, if you find a true blue rose let me know.
Reply:Call me ignorant, but I've never seen nor heard of a blue rose. My advise to you, buy some roses and die them blue.

How do I keep deer from eating my rose bush?
The deer are eating the roses off my rose bush. Help.
How do I keep deer from eating my rose bush?
Try a product called "Liquid Fence." It smells like rotten eggs and garlic when first applied, but the smell goes away when it's dry...to us anyway--the deer can still smell it. I swear by it and use it every year myself. It's also nice in that you don't have to run out after EVERY time it rains and reapply. You can get away with applying once a week...if there's a usual amount of rainfall or no rain.
You can find it at www.Gardeners.com.
Reply:Try soap in a packet on the bush Report It
Reply:Deer are browsers and it is difficult to get them to leave their favorite treats. However there are products on the market which contain carnivore urine or scents which are very effective.
Reply:#1 has a great answer, dinner too.
Reply:Liquid Fence and other similar products work, but constant re-application, and the stench, especially on cutting roses or plants near living areas, outweighs the benefit. Roses are candy to deer; give up on them in deer-prone areas. Coyote urine and other natural scents only work if your deer know and are afraid of coyotes, which is not likey. Same for other animal/human scents. Fences need to be 8 ft tall, or electric, to work. Consider replanting with Butterfly bush, peonies, iris, and other deer-resistant flowers.
Reply:Throw a good party have lots and lots of drinks and have all the guys go out and pee by the roses. I promise the deer will leave. Why do you think there are so many scent removers on the market for hunters?
Reply:Place a 4ft garden hose near your roses. The deer believe it's a snake..they are very fearful of snakes. The 2nd thing
to do is place a piece of your clothes near your bushes..your scent will keep them away. 3rd take a foot of panty hose a place human hair inside..the scent again will repel them..works for me
Reply:A rifle.
Reply:Go to your hairdresser and get some hair to hang on the rosebush. (Or if you do your haircuts at home...) This smells like people and will make the deer skittish. Grama swears by it.
Or put kitty litter around it (used kitty litter). Even though kitties are small carnivores, they're still carnivores, this might also make them skittish. It works well for smaller animals, but I'm not sure how well it'll work on deer.
Also, you could try spraying with hot sauce. The hotter the better. It won't hurt the deer, but it'll burn their tongue and make the roses less appetising. Need to respray after each rain. I've used this successfully for other critters, I imagine it'd work as well with deer.
Or a combination.

How do you make rose hip tea?
I have a rosebush in my yard. It's a weird kind of rose that was here when we got here, its like pretty little pink flowers. But there's rose hips on it, and my sister says you can make tea out of them. But neither of us know how. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
How do you make rose hip tea?
Preparation: Pick ripe rose hips after the first frost in the fall when they've turned bright orange or red. The frost helps sweeten the flavor. Trim off the stem and blossom ends, cut the hips in half and remove the seeds, then wash well.
Rose Hip Tea:
Prepare the rose hips as described above and place in a single layer on a drying screen. Allow to completely dry, then store in an air-tight jar in a cool, dark place. Hips may be used whole or slightly broken. Pour boiling water over the hips and allow to steep for 2 minutes. Strain.
Other recipes you may enjoy ...
Rose Hip Puree:
(this is from an old 16th century recipe used to make
rose hip tart)
1 1/2 cup prepared rose hips
3/4 cup water
2 T sugar
1/2 t cinnamon
1/2 t ginger
1 T lemon juice
Simmer the prepared rose hips in water until soft -- about 10-15 minutes. Stir in sugar, spices and lemon juice and simmer for 5 minutes. Use puree for tarts, ice cream toppings or to eat as a sauce.
(Great on chicken, pork and fish.)
Rose Hip Jam:
(this recipe has been around since the 1700s)
1 pound prepared rose hips (about 4 quarts)
1 cup of water
Sugar
In a large pan, add the rose hips and water. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer until very soft--about 20 minutes (add more water if necessary). Press or strain the mixture through a sieve to remove any seeds and to reduce large chunks of the Rose Hips. Add one pound of sugar (about 3 1/2 cups) to one pound of pulp and simmer. Check the taste and add more sugar if desired. Cook until the mixture has thickened to jam-like consistency. Pour into sterilized jars and seal. This is good to eat when you have a sore throat.
Reply:Pick off the rose hips, open them and throw away all the seeds and needle looking things (careful not to get any on you - they make itching powder out of that). Then you have a choice. either throw the shells in boiling water, or dry it for later consumption. after it's dried, break it up into smaller pieces.

What color rose would you most like to recieve and why?
Just out of curiosity, what color rose ( pink, red, white, yellow, etc.) would you most like to recieve and why?
What color rose would you most like to recieve and why?
There is a rose called"Fire and Ice" it is red and looks like it has a little bit of frost on it .....It is just simply beautiful....And I dont know what its specific symbol is.... All I know that it is beautiful and when they open full bloom....WOW. I am gonna send you a link with the picture of them so you can see for yourself what they look like. I like to recieve these because its not just red...or just yellow or white....etc.. Also a solid peach rose is beautiful too....Here is the link to the Fire and Ice Rose

Here is the link to the Peach Rose:

And here is some of the meanings of Roses:
Roses have been a symbol of love in all of its forms since the Victorian era. Suitors of the time often presented roses to their intended as gifts, symbolizing emotions that were considered too delicate to verbalize. In this time, courtships were carried out with these little floral gifts (called tussie-mussies) – from first blush all the way to the alter – as a primary form of communication, almost as though it were a form of romantic code. To this day, there are many that still follow this fascinating “code,” using the meaning of rose colors as a guideline when selecting the flower to give to someone they care for. "Say it with roses" continues to apply.
Roses in pale colors, such as pink or peach, symbolize friendship. Alone, light pink roses represent grace and admiration, while peach roses represent gratitude and appreciation. A common symbol of friendship is the yellow rose, but the yellow rose in and of itself has several meanings. Alone, it can mean joy and gladness or it can mean jealousy, or a decrease in affection – at times yellow roses have been known to represent infidelity! When paired with red roses in a bouquet, they represent happy times and offer congratulations, and when paired with orange roses, they signify passionate intentions toward the person receiving the bouquet.
Red roses, no matter what their hue, represent a romantic love. A dozen red roses is often considered the ultimate declaration of love and affection. If it’s within your budget, a gift of fifty red roses signifies a deep and unconditional love for that special someone. Paired with white roses, they represent unity and true love, which makes the union a perfect wedding day bouquet or table decoration. If you’re the type to believe in love at first sight, lavender roses are quickly becoming the way to show that to your loved one. White roses, which are often seen as a symbol of purity, also represent happy and true love and often say “I’m worthy of you.” If you want your love to know that she fascinates you, consider offering orange-tinted roses, as they signify fascination and desire is best represented by a coral-colored rose.
It isn’t just the color of roses that symbolize stages in the relationship. The way the roses are presented to the recipient also speak volumes about your feelings. A single rose represents simplicity, and is a very simple way to say, “I love you” without words. Winding two red roses together at the stems represents an upcoming engagement as it symbolizes two separate entities becoming one. A rosebud without thorns with the leaves intact says that you no longer fear, only hope for the future. In the same aspect, a rosebud without thorns or leaves means that there is nothing more to hope or fear, turning the symbol of love into something that signals the end of a relationship as well. Giving someone a withered red rose means that love has ended, while a withered white rose signifies despair.
Even certain types of roses have their own special significance! The damask rose typically represents youth and brilliance and beauty everlasting. However, one type of damask rose, the York and Lancaster rose, represents conflict. The cabbage rose is considered an ambassador of love, while the Carolina rose claims that “love is dangerous.” Hybrid tea roses tell the recipient “I will remember you always,” and the moss rose, an interesting flower, symbolizes a confession of love.
No matter what the reason for the gift of roses, you should always take the color, type, and presentation into account, even if you don't typically follow such traditions. The flowers you give might be saying far more than you realize!

How can I save rose petals for a wedding in July?
I have several rose bushes. My cousin is getting married in July and is wanting to use the petals from my roses for the flower girl. How can I start saving the rose petals for the wedding that will occur in about a month and a half? The wedding is set for July 14, 2007.
How can I save rose petals for a wedding in July?
I'm assuming you want fresh and that will be kinda tough. I would suggest cutting off entire heads of roses that are just getting ready to bloom.
Put them in a plastic container with a lid and a damp paper towel. Store them in the crisper in the fridge. Don't pull the petals off of the roses until you are ready to use them.

Why are some of the branches on my rose bush turning bugandy red?
I have 3 rose bushes planted together and I noticed some of the braches turning a burgany red color. They are still blooming. Is this normal is this some sort of disease?
Why are some of the branches on my rose bush turning bugandy red?
The burgandy colour that you are seeing should typically be the new growth on the rose bush. As this new growth ages you should notice that the leaves turn green and the branches return to the normal brown colour

Why is a chilean rose recommended for a first spider?
While doing some research on the chilean rose tarantula for my exotic lesson's assignment...I read that if you are considering diving into the hobby of owning spiders then a chilean rose is recommended as a first. I have held this breed %26amp; noticed it was really calm, but can anyone tell me why it is they are so good for beginners?
Why is a chilean rose recommended for a first spider?
Probably because they're pretty docile, relatively safe to handle (though it's not recommended) and slower than, say, avicularia avicularia - my brother has one of each.
Reply:Look up the web site of Glades Herps in Florida. They sell spiders too and rate them by aggression, venom etc. I'm sure you will see a favorable rating in every category for the Chilean Rose.

Can I grow a rose where there is barbaque ashes?
I am transplanting a Rose bush and where I would like to put it has barbaque ashes in the ground. Will it destroy my Rose bush?
Can I grow a rose where there is barbaque ashes?
It depends on the part of the country you are in. In the west, the soil is already alkaline and the ashes makes it worse. I killed a whole bed of roses using wood ashes from the fireplace because I read it was good for the soil. Turns out that is only true if the soil is acidic like some places on the east coast.

If a rose bush is dormant does it need to be planted and watered?
I just bought a rose tree and it is in a bag with dirt. Does it need to be planted or can I just water the bag of dirt which houses the roots?
If a rose bush is dormant does it need to be planted and watered?
This is where it helps to have common (sense) EDITED and logic. If you were able to purchase a rose bush/tree then you must live where it is warm and does not freeze. On line catalogs won't ship unless the temperatures are correct for the hardiness zone same as the stores they won't have anything to sell from the nurseries unless it's planting time.
I say if where you live meets all the necessay criteria for the area/hardiness zone
"then get that shovel out and
give that rose a home."" lol!
Put some root hormone to avoid transplant shock and encourage root growth see link below. I use it on everything.

Reply:Depends on where you are. If the ground is frozen you can safely store it in a shed or garage where it's cold but protected from the elements until spring. Roses are extremely hard to kill.
Reply:It should be planted and watered so it can grow a good root system to produce flowers in the spring. You don't need to water too much and don't fertalize yet.
Reply:Yes, plant ASAP -- and don't forget to water. If you can't plant today or tomorrow, you'll need to punch some holes in the bottom of the bag and water to keep the roots moist. But roots in water will rot -- hence the need for drainage holes.

This is where it helps to have common (sense) EDITED and logic. If you were able to purchase a rose bush/tree then you must live where it is warm and does not freeze. On line catalogs won't ship unless the temperatures are correct for the hardiness zone same as the stores they won't have anything to sell from the nurseries unless it's planting time.
I say if where you live meets all the necessay criteria for the area/hardiness zone
"then get that shovel out and
give that rose a home."" lol!
Put some root hormone to avoid transplant shock and encourage root growth see link below. I use it on everything.

Reply:Depends on where you are. If the ground is frozen you can safely store it in a shed or garage where it's cold but protected from the elements until spring. Roses are extremely hard to kill.
Reply:It should be planted and watered so it can grow a good root system to produce flowers in the spring. You don't need to water too much and don't fertalize yet.
Reply:Yes, plant ASAP -- and don't forget to water. If you can't plant today or tomorrow, you'll need to punch some holes in the bottom of the bag and water to keep the roots moist. But roots in water will rot -- hence the need for drainage holes.

When is the best time to transplant a rose of sharon bush?
A most beautiful rose of sharon decided to grow too close to the foundation of the house. I need to move it soon. When would be the best time to transplant it? Thanks in advance for your thoughtful answers.
When is the best time to transplant a rose of sharon bush?
Hey Susan. If the rose of sharon is still small, less than three or four feet high, you might consider keeping it where it is as long as you can, and transplant it in early fall. If you absolutely can not wait that long, I would transplant it very, very carefully in the early evening hours without the sun overhead, and water it very well that evening. One trick I have used with rose of sharons is a beach umbrella for the next couple days after an emergency transplant...it minimizes the effects of the bright sun on the plant when its root system is healing, and tends to really help the process. Hope this is helpful! I have been growing, grafting and transplanting these beautiful little trees for about twenty years and I love them too.
Reply:The white one with the pink center is a hard-to-find variety sometimes. They spread so well from seed...if you lay a blanket under it in the fall, once the pods dry and shake the bush, you will have a ton of seeds you can plant and get many more! Good luck! Report It
Reply:If you are colder than Zone 6, I'd wait till first thing in the spring. You can cut it back severly then. They bloom on new growth, so next summer you'll still have flowers.
Reply:My rose of sharon is deciduous. So the best time to transplant it would be to wait until all it goes dormant in the fall or winter.
Reply:Old and new Rose-of-Sharon varieties transplant well from containers throughout summer and early fall. They thrive in virtually all soils and prefer full sun for maximum flower production. Moderate to heavy pruning in early spring maintains a tight and tidy shape with lots of flowers.

How do I dig up and replant a rose bush?
My father has rose bushes that are at least 50 years old. They are really special to are family. He has givin me one and I would like to know how I should go about digging it up and replanting it in my garden without demaging it. Is this possible? Thanks for you advice.
How do I dig up and replant a rose bush?
50 years old is amazing and Kudos to you Dad for that.
You'll have to expect some shock, but there is another issue I'd want to consider. The GIFT bush/plant and its proximety to any others, IE: A row of these bushes as a fencing border kind of thing. If the plant to be extracted stands alone then the issue would be diminished in likely damage to adjacent bushes.
Certainly in a season when the plant is in dormancy would be best, but just before the time when it may want to add new growth and bloom. Pruning properly will help lessen recovery issues.
The BALL should not strictly be dry nor should the roots be allowed to dry. and at a proper time, less root growth will be happening, but in an established bush, especially that age, you should probably expect some damage/shock/ even a full season recovery time.

Reply:Rose bushes are incredibly resiliant number 1. Just dig a wide area around the base and try to keep as much of the roots intact. Dig Deep below the plant to help makes sure you aren't cutting off a lot of the roots. If short move just move as is, if commuting somewhere, place rose bush with dirt and roots into a large container or wrap in burlap and wet down.
Reply:The're fairly hardy things, i mow my roses down at the end of season, and they grow back. I usually just dig the hole thing out in one big shovel and stick it in a plastic bag, then drop it in some nicely prepared ground at your house. Maybe to help, take plenty of you fathers soil home to throw in the hole to help with shock. Give it heaps of water

How to make sure the roots of a rose bush is dead?
I have just removed a climbing rose and rambler both 15 years old ( a lot of heavy work).All branches and foliage is removed and I am left with two stumps of roots no more than 10 ins high. I do not want them to re grow--any chance of this? or can I do something else to make sure they are dead.
How to make sure the roots of a rose bush is dead?
The hard work is done now and you can soon sit back and relax.
The best way to ensure no regrowth occurs is to dig everything out, however as you are beginning to wilt, there are several options.
1. Apply deep root or brushwood killer to the stumps (available at most good garden centres). This will kill off the stumps, however the base would just rot over a period of time and not look the best. The soil remains unharmed.
2. If you can remove the top growth to well below the knuckle (clumpy base bit) it is unlikely that the plant will regrow.
3. If you don't worry about the soil and the same spot is not going to be planted and no plants are near by, you can use sodium chlorate weed killer. kills the plant and the soil.
Whichever way you get rid of the rose, people say don't plant roses in the same spot (untrue) A new chemical called "root to grow" allows replanting in the same spot and disposes of all the old stories.
Reply:grind them out. thats if you can't pull them out... did you try a crow bar... I just pulled a dead tree out of my yard with one it was about 2 or 3 " in diameter... the tree came out with ease once I got the crow around it.
Reply:The roses you have lifted were grafted onto root stock. You removed the top but the root stock will regrow, not as the original rose but probablly a dog rose. No need to dig it out just drill some holes at the edge of the stump and pour in some root killer. Cover the stump with a plastic bag, checking on it periodically to top it up. Now it will not regrow next Spring. Unfortunately nothing is available to rot it down quickly this will be a natural process.
Hope this helps you.
Reply:Tear them out of the ground and burn them.
Reply:Just wait and see. If they start to sprout in the spring (and it is quite likely they will), just wait until there are a few leaves and spray the bushes with a good systemic weed killer (like Roundup). You may need to repeat again in a couple of weeks but then the roots should be quite dead.

Press it. It will dry and become very brittle.

Get it enlarged to full size, cut around the edge, and then mount the flower in a glass to glass frame with say the card you possibly received, as well.
Maybe mount the photo against a photo of the 'rose giver'
One last thing. There is a kit, or process you can buy that enables you to mount dried objects in clear resin. Might be worth considering.

How do I cut a stem off a rose bush? to grow in my yard?
my neighbor has a rose bush, a hybrid tea i think. she said i could cut a piece off to grow for myself, but I dont know how. i do know i am suppose to cut it a certain way, but how? and do i just stick it in the ground or try to get it to grow roots first? any tips or advice is much appreciated, thanx.
How do I cut a stem off a rose bush? to grow in my yard?
you need to get some routing compound first, then you want to take a very sharp knife, something that will make a clean cut (NOT SCISSORS) then take the routing compound and dip the end of the branch in it and follow the directions on the routing compound bottle. enjoy
Reply:I've never heard of roses propagating like that, however it turns out you can with a piece of newer growth according to the American Rose Society.
According to the American Rose Society:
The Timing: The best stems for taking softwood cuttings are those which have recently bloomed, but which have not yet started active growth at the new bud eyes along the stem. The bud eyes should, however, be visible and just beginning to swell. When in doubt, it is better to take those with smaller bud eyes, rather than larger. Also, it is best to take the cutting after the bush has been well-watered.
The Stem: Be sure to choose a healthy, disease-free stem. Any remaining bloom parts should be removed from the stem by pruning back to the first 5-leaflet leafset (or 7-leaflet set on those varieties which tend to produce them). Next, count 4 or 5 leafsets down the stem and make the bottom cut on an angle, 1/4" below that leafset. The lower 2 or 3 leafsets should then be stripped from the stem, taking care not to tear the outer layer of the stem. Depending on the size of the remaining foliage, the ending leaflets on the leafsets may also be removed to insure that the foliage is not crowded in the baggie or bottle. The bottom of the stem may then be dipped in rooting hormone (powder or liquid) and planted using one of the following methods.

What is the best way to prepare my rose bush for winter.?
I live in PA and the cold is really starting to roar in. We just planted a beautiful rose bush in our yard this past summer and i am unsure how to winterize %26lt;spelling%26gt; it so it doesn't die.
thank you for your help!
What is the best way to prepare my rose bush for winter.?
cut your bushes 3/4 of the way down and cover with mulch or grass and leaves. make sure all of the remainder of the plant is completely covered. that's it!
Reply:I assume that this is a hybrid-tea type, which requires care over winter in cold areas. The first year, the plant is acclimatizing itself to your area. Many plants that are winter-hardy may indeed have been grown by a nursery in warm places, such as British Columbia, so even though the plant species is winter-hardy per se, if it is accustomed to a warmer climate, it must be acclimatized to a cold one. This is why it is a good idea to buy locally grown nursery stock, as it is already geared to the rigours of a local climate. I like to be aware of a plant's growing history, as I am in Canada, and a warmer-climate-grown plant could be winter-killed. So protect your rose as much as possible. This is accomplished by first planting it with the graft union below ground, since the cold can kill this if above ground. If you don't already know, the graft union/knob is the place where the tender hybrid scion is married to the more resistant and hardy rootstock of another variety of rose. You will periodically see shoots of the unwanted growth of the rootstock, which will probably produce inferior flowers if allowed to mature, and it will take over the growth of the wanted scion. So nip off the former, with a good pair of bypass rose pruners. This unwanted growth is usually but not always identified by the appearance of 7 leaves or more, in a different type of leave production. As you become more adept at rose growing, you will be able to tell the difference, which will radiate from below the graft union. In warm climates, the union is planted slightly above ground level. It is already planted, so hopefully this has been done. Remove unwanted growth, which includes diseased, infested and crossing-over branches; most people leave 3 to 5 healthy canes. Don't do this prior to regular cold weather, as a sudden period of warmer weather will cause a just-pruned plant to produce new growth which will winter-kill and stress the plant. Always cut to an outward-facing bud, since this aims new growth away from the middle of the plant. You don't want middle growth as the air should flow through it to keep it drier and less prone to fungal disease, and increase sun exposure. Prune above the wanted bud by about a quarter inch on a 45-degree angle to shed water, or it will pool on a straight cut and facilitate disease and possible rot. If unsure about weather conditions, this can be done in spring prior to bud break. Add soil around the plant and gather into a cone shape, so that just the tops of the canes show through. A normal height for pruning hybrid-tea canes is 12-18 inches. This soil mounding prevents dessication from cold wind, and acts as a semi-permanent mulch. Don't scrape up existing soil, as surface roots will be scraped or compromised by increased exposure to cold. When there is snow, it acts as a natural insulation, so leave it. When planting, you should have amended the soil with bone meal and peat moss. Peat moss has almost no nutrient value, but acts as a soil texture amendment and acidifier; bone meal is the actual bones of slaughtered animals, which is high in phosphorus, necessary for bloom. Though natural products, don't breathe them in. In spring, remove the bulk of soil with gloved hands; get out the hose and leave the nozzle off, allowing the natural water current to wash away the remainder. Don't dig too close to the plant or you will risk damaging canes. Add bone meal around drip line of plant (the farthest parts surrounding a tree or plant, where rain would drip off it, working your way in), and gently work into the soil. Prune any winter-killed growth as mentioned, or do the initial pruning if not done prior. For optimum growth, roses need 4 to 6 hours of sun, preferably from a southern exposure. Good luck. For further help, I can be contacted through the Yahoo response method.
Reply:Hi there, Stop feeding and pruning your roses around the end of August, to discourage tender, new growth that will suffer from winter damage.
After the first frost, thoroughly water the soil around your rose bush. Once the ground freezes the bush has to take care of itself, so give it a good soaking going into winter.
Remove all fallen leaves to prevent diseases and insects from overwintering.
After a couple of hard freezes, mound 6-12 inches of compost around the crown of the plant, to protect the roots and the graft union where the rose species you are growing is attached to a hardy root stock. The graft should be at or just below the soil surface. In a mild winter, you could also circle the rose with wire and stuff this cage with leaves or mulch.
Climbing roses are at risk from strong, drying winds. To protect the canes of canes of climbers, either wrap the canes together bundling something like straw on the outside for insulation or remove the canes from their trellis or support and lay them on the ground. Then tie the canes together and secure them to the ground with landscape pins. Protect with a layer of mulch.
Mounding with leaves or a shredded mulch should suffice.
freezing temperatures, watch for fungal diseases that can creep in with the cooler, wet weather.
Don't try to use the soil around the rose bush as mulch. Moving it could expose or disturb the roots.Don't forget to remove protective mulch in the spring.
Good luck :)

As you become more adept at rose growing, you will be able to tell the difference, which will radiate from below the graft union. In warm climates, the union is planted slightly above ground level. It is already planted, so hopefully this has been done. Remove unwanted growth, which includes diseased, infested and crossing-over branches; most people leave 3 to 5 healthy canes. Don't do this prior to regular cold weather, as a sudden period of warmer weather will cause a just-pruned plant to produce new growth which will winter-kill and stress the plant. Always cut to an outward-facing bud, since this aims new growth away from the middle of the plant. You don't want middle growth as the air should flow through it to keep it drier and less prone to fungal disease, and increase sun exposure. Prune above the wanted bud by about a quarter inch on a 45-degree angle to shed water, or it will pool on a straight cut and facilitate disease and possible rot. If unsure about weather conditions, this can be done in spring prior to bud break. Add soil around the plant and gather into a cone shape, so that just the tops of the canes show through. A normal height for pruning hybrid-tea canes is 12-18 inches. This soil mounding prevents dessication from cold wind, and acts as a semi-permanent mulch. Don't scrape up existing soil, as surface roots will be scraped or compromised by increased exposure to cold. When there is snow, it acts as a natural insulation, so leave it. When planting, you should have amended the soil with bone meal and peat moss. Peat moss has almost no nutrient value, but acts as a soil texture amendment and acidifier; bone meal is the actual bones of slaughtered animals, which is high in phosphorus, necessary for bloom. Though natural products, don't breathe them in. In spring, remove the bulk of soil with gloved hands; get out the hose and leave the nozzle off, allowing the natural water current to wash away the remainder. Don't dig too close to the plant or you will risk damaging canes. Add bone meal around drip line of plant (the farthest parts surrounding a tree or plant, where rain would drip off it, working your way in), and gently work into the soil. Prune any winter-killed growth as mentioned, or do the initial pruning if not done prior. For optimum growth, roses need 4 to 6 hours of sun, preferably from a southern exposure. Good luck. For further help, I can be contacted through the Yahoo response method.
Reply:Hi there, Stop feeding and pruning your roses around the end of August, to discourage tender, new growth that will suffer from winter damage.
After the first frost, thoroughly water the soil around your rose bush. Once the ground freezes the bush has to take care of itself, so give it a good soaking going into winter.
Remove all fallen leaves to prevent diseases and insects from overwintering.
After a couple of hard freezes, mound 6-12 inches of compost around the crown of the plant, to protect the roots and the graft union where the rose species you are growing is attached to a hardy root stock. The graft should be at or just below the soil surface. In a mild winter, you could also circle the rose with wire and stuff this cage with leaves or mulch.
Climbing roses are at risk from strong, drying winds. To protect the canes of canes of climbers, either wrap the canes together bundling something like straw on the outside for insulation or remove the canes from their trellis or support and lay them on the ground. Then tie the canes together and secure them to the ground with landscape pins. Protect with a layer of mulch.
Mounding with leaves or a shredded mulch should suffice.
freezing temperatures, watch for fungal diseases that can creep in with the cooler, wet weather.
Don't try to use the soil around the rose bush as mulch. Moving it could expose or disturb the roots.Don't forget to remove protective mulch in the spring.
Good luck :)

How to treat a rose in shock?
I just purchased two rose bushes yesterday. I repotted them and now one is fine and the other is wilted. What can I do to save this rose? It has lots of buds on it and I want it to bloom. I am new to growing roses, I have several roses now and none of them have ever went into shock. Help!
How to treat a rose in shock?
Never fertilize a plant that is in shock this will kill it. If your rose has transplant shock buy some Seasol, it is a sea weed extract that it is a mild tonic and helps with transplant shock.
The roots are obviously not supporting all the foliage. Make sure the pot is put into the shade temporarily till it recovers. It may loose all its leaves. (a natural survival instinct) Don't panic. When it's roots recover a bit it will send out new leaves. If some of the stems get die back just cut of the dead bits as they occur. Give it a regular water - don't let it dry out but don't over water only when it needs it.
Roses are very tough, just be patient and don't push it to hard and you will find it will recover. Good luck.
Reply:You need to go to a flower and garden shop and get some type of food (for Roses) ask gardening specialist first. you need to keep the plant in some light .
Reply:what is the tempature if it is really hot plants do not like to be transplanted in the sun or the heat I always do it in the moring or evening and make sure it gets a good dose of water and also when I am transplanting plants I purchase a product called miracle gro quick start its for plant shock and I use it on everything and I swear by it-I do not plant any thing with out it it helps the plants from going in to shock and gives them a boost of energy to stimulate the roots to get them going so they bloom faster-I by it at wallmart-good luck!
Reply:Make sure there are no ant hills or bugs around it. Also, you can disolve a couple of regular aspirin in some water and pour it on the soil. It helps with cut flowers....maybe it will help with planted flowers too.
Reply:I put mine in the shade, and put a hose drip on it until it showed me new growth. Give it some Superthrive, that will solve the problem. I had prize winning Rose in one month on that new growth. (Helen Traubel (spelling?. )

How do i connect a ceiling rose to mass of cables?
i had disconnected all cables from a ceiling rose for putting up a new light,but unfortunately didnt mark what was connecting what,now im trying to reconnect the ceiling rose back,i have 4 main cables coming out from ceiling each have brown,blue,yellow/green cables and also 1 single brown and blue cable their own,could anybody please give me some advice how to connect the ceiling rose back,thanks.
How do i connect a ceiling rose to mass of cables?
first switch off mains.
red wires x 3 go together in loop
green/yellow x 3 go to earth terminal.
neutral is black x2 blue x1
switch=brown x1
as you have mixed up the wires , it may be better to get a electrician to do the job.
there are 3 black wires
2 blacks are neutral 1 =switch which one ?
Reply:you need to find out ,what is the hot one , this is the one that provide the power, to the light, the other is the switch , the green/ yellow is the ground, prevents shocks ,
one could be a ceiling fan, wire, poss the blue one . runs the fan.
all lights run off just two wires, the rest is for your switch
i would use a old light fitting, to see what brings o nthe light . that way, you will know what is hot .
on your old light fitting, you maybe have some old wires, maybe a black or brown , perhaps this maybe the way to go , just takes time to work out

Can Rose bushes grown into a size of a tree ?
i was thinking to plant the rose on the ground, and leave without trimming/prunning them, will it grow into a size like a tree? i'm in malaysia, so we do not have to worry about winter. please give some advise. thanks.

Standard roses can grow up to 6-8 feet high. Most are considered shrubs however, that grow 2-4 feet. Good Luck.

How do I get rid of a rose bush?
Ok, so this is probably weird but the people that lived in my house before me planted this crazy huge ugly rose bush in the middle of my front yard. I really don't like it there and I really don't like hot pink roses. This bush grows out of control and has to be pruned all the time. I just want to get rid of it. Do I have to dig it out or can I kill it with something? I'm afraid the roots are monstrous with the size of the bush and the thorns are ultra prickly even with gloves on. And ideas?
How do I get rid of a rose bush?
prune, prune, prune, shear, shear, shear, cut, and cut some more until the thing is gone.. then spray weed-b-gone on the "stump" .......if it's as big as u say u might need a saw to get it down to ground level! just spray the stump once let it work into the plant then 3 or 4 days later do it again......no more "hot pink" roses in ur front yard! the dead stump will decay and eventually be taken over by grass!
Reply:Trim it as low as possible, water it well. One day later, use a trenching shovel to dig up and cut through as many roots as possible, you don't have to go too far out from the main. The remaining roots should just die, but if they don't you can spray round up on any new shoots.
Reply:If you have my luck, The best way to kill it is to pamper it. Do everything you can make it look beautiful and it will die!If that don't work Prune the top out of it {to keep it from pricking you} then dig up the root.
Reply:Try to trim it down if possible and pour Round-Up at the base of the bush. If it is too picky to trim, just pour Round-Up near the base and it will kill the roots. Usually by two weeks it is done for.

Is there a correct way to dry rose petals?
I've always wanted to dry them and put them in a little case inside my bathroom. Now I have so many rose petals left over from my boquet and I wanted to dry them. Can anyone tell me the correct way to do that please?
Is there a correct way to dry rose petals?
Hang them upside down out of sunlight, preferably downstairs where it is also cool.
Reply:I don't dry them upside down, or in a dryer, microwave or with silica gel in the oven. I just tear off the petals, dry them naturally then throw in a potpourri or store until I have enough for one. (not the white ones that turn brown) Report It
Reply:Heat silica gel to 110 -120 C (230 -250 F) in a wide uncovered metal or glass tray for 2 hours (oven - and don't overheat!). Cool. Layer of desiccated silica gel, layer of rose petals, layer of desiccated silica gel... Seal air-tight with a couple of layers of plastic wrap. Let sit a week at room temp.
Silica gel can be redried and reused.
Reply:just keep the roses in the vase for up to a couple weeks. they'll dry out by themselves. it just takes time.
Reply:It actually works best if you take the roses out of the vase, tie a string around them and hang them upside down to dry. It'll help keep the shape of the petals better, and the roses looking more like, well.. roses!

The leaves of my rose look like burned on the edges. Do you have any idea why?
I have the rose into a pot next to the window. It is a lot of sun, but as I know it is ok for roses. I give water to my rose every second day. And lately I gave my rose some liquid fertilizer. I put the water together with the fertilizer into a tray and then I place the rose into that tray for 15 minutes each time. The question is what is causing my rose to have the leaves burned on the edges just like being burnt by fire? Can it be the sun? Or is it the fertilizer? And what should I do to prevent that happen to my lovely rose if it is not the sun or the fertilizer?
The leaves of my rose look like burned on the edges. Do you have any idea why?
roses are heavy feeders and it is unlikely you over fed it from what you described. roses are outdoor plants. when you have an outdoor plant inside it will not get the required amount of humidity or moisture in the air. typically, you have to spray the foliage with a misting bottle or actually have a humidifier in the room. this could cause your leaves to have a scorched appearance in combination with full sun through a window. cut the affected leaves off and start spraying the foliage with fine mists of water in addition to what you were doing. hope this helps.
Reply:If you have the time, take one of the leaves to a local plant nursery or garden center. Ask to speak to a certified landscape specialist...they should be able to help.
It may be a combination of the plant being root bound, chemical fertilizer %26amp; sun.
Reply:Maybe too much sun, but most likely too much fertilizer.
Plants require WAY less than what the fertilizer companies would have you believe, and most of the time, none at all.
If you just have to use it, do so at about 1/3 of the manufacturer's recommendation.
Reply:or is it the window,by the way is the same as a magnifier.
easy fix,create some shade with a taller plant by it.
Reply:i think that it must be drying out. i think water more because of the fertilizer and the sun combination. probably just a little more than you do now, so you dont drown it. oh, and make sure there is no open flame by it, so it doesn't actually get burnt! lol ^^...
Reply:If the rose was doing fine before you fertilized, its possible you over did it, which will burn the plant. Water your plant really well, since it is spring, put it outside and flood the plant to help rinse away the excess fertilizer. You may find an 800 number on the fertilizer to call they may have suggestions on what to do or they may have a neutralizer. Good luck!

We are remodelling our house.This will entail some rose bushes being uprooted and lost, unless we properly relocate them in another part of our garden. Any tips?

prune the top by atleast half,
dig it out taking as much soil as possible,
place in the new hole,
fill with water,
put in the rest of the soil from the hole
and press down firmly.
dont plant any deeper than it was in the previous hole.

Reply:JUST LEAVE A GOOD ROOT BALL, ON THE ROSE BUSHES. IT SHOULD BE FINE.
Reply:Leave a big root ball and have the new hole ready for planting. If there are any flowers on the plant I would cut them off because it takes too much energy from the plant and it will need all of it's energy to recover from the shock. Give it plenty of water every day.

What can I do while preparing my rose garden to keep ants out?

What can I do while preparing my rose garden to keep ants out?
Not being an expert in the area of this question, this answer will have to be of a generic nature until an expert comes along to improve it.
I would suggest that you get a bag of diatomacious earth from a well stocked garden center, or possibly a farm, feed and seed store.
Diatomaceous earth is a powderlike material made of ground up rock which was formed from the skeletons of millions, billions of microscopic "critters."
Diatomaceous earth comes in several forms, and it is CRITICAL that you get/use the AGRICULTURAL grade material, as the others will not work.
The ground up skeleton dust has millions of sharp edges which abraid or cut the exoskeleton of most insects. They naturally do not like this, so when exposed to this type of diatomacious earth, they try to get away from it. If they don't, and remain exposed to it long enough, it will so damage their hard outer shell/skin [exoskeleton] that they will dehydrate, and die.
Following the directions on the label, and using a "shaker" bottle you make from a clean, large plastic bottle with lots of holes punched somewhere on it, apply a light but uniform coating over your garden area. This should discourage the ants, and other insects also.
In addition, if your plants are attacked by any other insects, you can sprinkle the diatomacious earth all over them, and it will discourage the insects. I do not know about the safety of the roses, but do know that many people for years have used it on their vegetable plants, and it is safe for them, and with rinsing of the fruits or vegetables, safe for human consumption.
When you find a local source for the diatomacious earth, you can ask those selling it about the safety relating to use on your roses. I suspect that there will be no problem. Good luck.
