I love the smell of Tone Coconut Rose body wash, but everytime I go to a store to buy it they only have the mango kind or the exflocating kind. Does anyone know where they sell the coconut rose kind? Thanks!
Where can you find Tone Coconut Rose body wash?
might have to get it online:

How can the Bulls maneuver to grab both Rose and Beasley?
any arm chair GM's out there to give Paxson some help on how to do it?
They actually need both Rose and Beasley. They need Beasley's low post scoring and rebounding and they need Rose's point guard leadership and defensive and explosiveness, and Rose would be an upgrade from Hinrich.
So is there a way to move Hinrich and other players to Miami for the second pick?
How can the Bulls maneuver to grab both Rose and Beasley?
give hinrich,larry hughes,tyrus thomas to the clippers ; eltan brand and brevin knight to miami and miami #2 pick to bulls that would be crazy but i feel makes all teams better
Reply:yes
Reply:The is 0% chance of this happening so just put it out of your mind.
Reply:The chance is very slim, but in a must-have situation the Bulls can send Miami Hinrich, Gordon, and Joah Kim Noah, + A second round draft pick. Other than that, nothing will probably interest the Heats
Reply:It won't happen and you have Thomas and Noah to do it for you.
Reply:Hinrich is good, I don't know what people are smoking.
Reply:no, who would be stupid enough to do that, they would have to trade the whole bulls franchise just to get that 2nd pick

Anyone know where I can buy a Christian Dior Rose bush?

Can a rose bush be planted in a pot?
I want to get a rose bush but I wanted to plant it in a big pot, will it do ok? Please let me know! Also is now an ok time to plant one or later in the year?
Can a rose bush be planted in a pot?
This is an ideal time to plant a rose in a pot.Get a pot 455mm in diameter,if using a clay pot ensure that it's frost proof.Cover the drainage hole in the pot with broken crocks and about 25mm of gravel to ensure good drainage.
Place the rose bush in the pot,spread the roots out,trimming any that are obviously damaged.
Fill the pot with good quality compost,such as John Innes no;3 ,working it well down around the plant and firming down well.The union of the rose with the roots is visible as a swelling where the plant was grafted,this should be just covered by the compost.
Buy a patio rose,specially grown for a container,from a reputable supplier who will advise on the wide choice available and with proper pruning and feeding your rose will grow away.
Reply:Just about anything can be grown in pots,as long as they are fed and watered properly,after all bonsai trees many of which are hundrreds of years old are grown in pots.Find from books or on line a roses needs and learn some pruning methods anddo it,don'tworry have fun.Ihave a Laburnum tree that is ten years old in a pot, and i keep it pruned,it's probably about 2ft high by 3ft across and is just fab in flower in the spring.Good luck ,Frankie .
Reply:Sure, a rose bush can be planted in a pot. I have one and so (@ 2 yrs.) it has done well, though it is dormant right now.
Make sure it gets plenty of light and fertilizer.
Reply:Jackson and Perkins rose growers said that roses do well for about two years and then need to be planted in the ground or thrown away.
We grew Don Juan climbing rose for two years in a large pot and sure enough, it did not do well the third year. We had to plant it in the ground.
Reply:You can do it any time of year. I've grown roses in pots by cutting off a flower with at least 3 leaves on the stem and put it in a pot with soil and a 2 liter drink bottle with the top cut off and placed over the rose stem like a small greenhouse. Keep the soil wet and the rose will take root. this doesn't always work so don't give up. When it does work, you get great flowers!
Reply:There are so many varieties. Some are sold in pots but the nursery can guide you best as far as longevity there is concerned.

How do I promote flowers on a miniature rose bush?
I have an indoor miniature rose bush. The leaves are growing well, but it has not had roses in quite some time. Is there a way to promote growth of the flowers? Thanks
How do I promote flowers on a miniature rose bush?
You have to prune roses to get flowers.
all roses grow leaves the same way.
Look at the ends of your plants and count the number of leaves on each branch.
You will see branches with either 3, 5 or 7 leaves.
If you keep the branches pruned at the 5 leaf point, you get more stems with 3 leaves and more flowers.
If you prune at the 7 leaf point you will get more branches with 5 leaves and then stems with 3 leaves and a flower.
.
In addition,,
Use a high phosphate, low-nitrogen fertilizer when feeding.
Reply:Give it a little Epsom salt,just a pinch, and trim it above a outward facing ,five leafed leaf. Cut it at a 45 degree angle right above that. It will promote new buds to form. Also they like full sun, and water it WELL after putting in the Epsom salt. Water once a week,with warm water ,not cold,they don't like that, and try not to get the plant wet. If you do, do it early in the morning so it'll have time to dry. Also. cut away any cross branches in the middle of the plant. If this is not an option, just cut the ones that are touching each other in the middle of it. That's All Folks! Bye
Reply:Put it outside so that it experiences seasons, bring it in when too cold though.
Reply:u just trim off all blooms that it has now even if they aren't open yet! it'll repay ya with mulitple blooms in the next day or two! do this once or twice a month and by july or august ur mini rose bush will be full of blooms... so many in fact that u might not even see ne green on the whole bush... but it's there, it's just got so many blooms is all! i do it every year and it works like a charm. u don't need to add ne kind of fertilizer for this to happen, it's just how a mini rose bush grows and reacts to weekly to monthly trimmings. try it, and u'll see what i'm talking about. oh yeah... if it doesn't have ne blooms right now....just shave the top inch or so of foliage off and it'll react the same way! *****oh yeah........mini rose bushes do best outside too! it might not ever bloom if u keep it inside!******

How do i repot a very small minature rose?
Hello To You,
I would like to suggest visiting any of the sites shown below.
I visit them almost everyday, and am always finding something new to learn.
Hope you find what you want, good results,
Dave
Reply:Just find a pot that is a bit larger than the one it is in. Lift it gently out of the pot it is in. Tease the roots out so that they will go down in the new soil.Set it in the sink and water well.
When it is summer you could have it outside, or if you want to put it in the ground at some time you could do that in spring.
Reply:Choose a nice clay pot a size larger than the plants existing home. Place some rocks in the bottom for drainage, and a crown of soil. The potting soil should be a loose loamy organic mixture that holds together loosley when a palm squeezes a handful. Remove the rose from the store pot. Most likely its compacted, root bound, a tight wad of roots, and soil. Shake off the loose soil, and prune the roots evenly. Soak the roots in a super thrive mixture for up to an hour, or until the roots seem plump and rehydrated. If they need more pruning don't be shy. The plant will re-establish healthier in the new pot if the roots have room to stretch. Now place the roots over the soil ball in the pot, and add soil evenly around the roots, water thoroughly and make sure the soil replaces air bubbles, and the roots are covered and the pot is filled to at least one half inch from the top.
Now for the top. Prune the foliage evenly to shape the plant. Remove all uneven growth, and existed buds. I know you hate to do this but the rose needs to work on re-establishing itself to a healthy environment. Place the pot in a sunny spot. Regardless of size roses need a good six hours sunlight a day to thrive happilly. In about six wks you should see new leaves begin to form on the plant. At this time you should begin fertilizing with a water soluble organic plant food once a month.
Reply:repot it in a a pot that's just a little bit larger than the one it's in. make sure to give it a lot of sunlight as roses love the sun.
Reply:K if you follow my directions do this in your house at your kitchen sink . Go to walmart in your garden center and buy some super thrive and some miracle grow potting soil . Hopefully you already have the potty that you need to re pot if not get that to . Go home fill your kitchen sink half full of water not super cold though . And put a half of a cap full of super thrive in the water . take out the rose from it's pot very carefully do not try to untangle the roots . If there are clumps of dirt or it comes out in one big clump of dirt that is OK . Put it in the water mixture in your sink and let it soak for 10-15 minutes . Get your pot ready . If you need to moisten the new potting soil then take a cup and use the water in the sink with the rose . When your time is up replant the rose and make sure you have an inch about below the rim for water do not put potting soil clear to the top . If you want to keep your rose gorgeous . Water with a couple of drops of super thrive mixed in the water every month . You can also get jack stakes which is a fertilizer and stick one of the stakes in the plant along with the super thrive mix once a month . You will love it .

How do take care of a small rose plant?
My sister got my a small rose plant while I was in the hospital, and now all the blooms have died, and it looks like I've killed it. Its also still in the container that it came in. What do I do??
How do take care of a small rose plant?
look and see if the plant has become root bound by lifting the entire plant out of the pot and seeing if the roots have become wrapped around the base multiple times or if the roots are coming through the holes in the bottom. If this is the case you will need to get a bigger pot and more soil to replant the bush.
Make sure you are gentle with the roots of this bush.
Roses don't stay in bloom forever. The flower eventually dies off. You need to clip the spent buds off of the plant to encourage more blooms to come forth.
Water the plant when the soil gets dry. you can feed the plant once every 2-3 months with a bit of osmocote. Its a slow releasing plant food.
Make sure your plant gets plenty of sun. Since it is summer time it would be a good time to sit the plant outside and let nature take care of the plant for a while.
If you want and you have a backyard or some type of lawn you can plant it outside and again let nature take of the plant.
Just remember to clip the flowers. The leaves turn red when the plant is about to bloom.

Is there a way to dry rose petals for confetti?
We're going to a Medieval Wedding at Auckland Castle (link if you're interested) later this year, and, since we can't use paper confetti, but can rose petals, wondered how to dry them out properly?
We have a garden full of them, so don't want to buy any, and for our attempt we took the petals off an unscented rose, put them on newspaper in the greenhouse and let them dry out for about 4 days, but they looked a bit naff, so we've retried with a thicker petalled rose, but wondered if there is a "proper" way to do it?
I don't want to buy any though, since that would be a waste of money.
Is there a way to dry rose petals for confetti?
There is a type of sand that is used to dry flowers without losing thier color or texture. You would put the petals in the sand and allow them to dry. It preserves them etc. It can be found at craft stores. I don't know the name. We use it here in the USA for drying bridal bouquets etc.
Reply:they usually turn dark when dried and look totally icky! I have used the drying crystals to do this. Spread a layer of crystals on a paper towel on a tray, spread a layer of flower petals on that and another layer of crystals. You can build up several layers. Pour results through coarse sifter so all the crystals fall through and petals stay in sifter. After use, store drying crystals in airtight container for next use. Caution: don't let small children or pets eat the crystals.
Reply:for my cousins wedding we used rose petals as confetti, my aunty just lay out a single layer on a tea towel on a tray and put them in her airing cupboard with all the towels, it worked really well, not only diid they look nice but all the towels smelt pretty!
Reply:you could place the petals a few at a time, onto kitchen paper and put into a microwave with a small glass of water on the turntable. cook for about 1 minute on full power, then re-arrange them and do it again for about 2 minutes , but you must keep checking on them until they dry out, and then store in an airtight container. that method is ideal if you want them quickly , or you could place the petals onto paper towels and place them into an airing cupboard.
Reply:Go on the Martha Stewart web site.
Reply:Mum puts her petals in the airing cubbord for about a day.
Seems to do the trick!

Do florists sell just rose petals or do I need to pluck the petals myself?
Thanks.

The most important thing to know about putting roses on a bed is that you need to make sure the thorns are removed!
Reply:Nice to put some going up the stairs to the bedroom too. then across the hall and all the way to the bed. Dried ones itch. Use fresh, you can always get new sheets.

Reply:Nice to put some going up the stairs to the bedroom too. then across the hall and all the way to the bed. Dried ones itch. Use fresh, you can always get new sheets.
Reply:Fresh!! Yes, they will sell petals, by the bagful.
Miniature Rose - Should I repot to a larger pot?
I live in So. California, and just bought a pretty pink miniature rose. It's outdoors now. Should I give it full sun? I want repot it in a larger pot. How soon should I do this? Thanks.
Miniature Rose - Should I repot to a larger pot?
I have had potted miniature roses in both Indiana and North Carolina growing in the landscape. They always did fine. It is too late to put in the landscape now, but next spring would be ideal. They love the sun. If kept indoors, you can repot at any time.
Reply:What the directions say about sun-follow. You can plant them directly into the soil of your garden-with proper fertilizer, etc. Take care. To replant it, please wait until March or April to do so.
Reply:You can report it in a larger pot. Please give it full sun atleast for 7 hours. and put some light fertilizer like cow dung etc.
and water profusely.
All the best.
Reply:Actually, it would be better off in the ground, but as long as you put it in a very large pot it will be fine. Miniature roses can actually get quite large. Anywhere between 3-4 feet and are intended to be landscape plants so if you repot it then go for a really big one like a half barrel or something because their roots need room to spread. The flowers are small, but the bush can get pretty tall. Since you live in So. Cal, there is no rush. These roses can handle anything a average sized rose can handle. Just make sure you give it at least 6 hours of sun light and water it at the base to avoid mold and black spot.
Good Luck

When should i stop watering the rose bush?
how much water to feed the rose bush before winter and when should i stop watering if so when i live south dakota between Bismark nd and Peirre sd.
When should i stop watering the rose bush?
Depending on how much water falls where you live in the winter..in form of rain or snow would determine if your watering thru the winter. Where I live..we get an average of 3 -7 inches a year, which is NOTHING!! We water here through the winter, at least once a month depending. I would suggest watering as long as there is foliage. As soon as the leaves start to turn in the fall, I would lay off the watering and then only do it once a month.
Reply:you can water until the ground freezes... at that point, the rose is fully dormant and not using water anymore...I suppose you are providing your roses with some sort of winter protection?... mulch, a cone, burying it?....you might want to read here and find something that will help your roses thru winter...

What do I do with a rose plant for the winter?
I have a mini tea rose plant in a pot on my apartment balcony. It did pretty well this summer, but I am wondering what I need to do for the winter. Do I cut it back? If so, how far back? Do I need to cover it?
Some advice would be wonderful.
Thank you
What do I do with a rose plant for the winter?
I don't know how cold you get or what zone you are in, but keeping the roots from becoming damaged from freezing is going to be your greatest concern. Your rose would be just fine in the ground, but since it is potted then you will need to add a little added protection from harsh freezes. Go ahead and prune it back to about 5-6 inches and wrap the pot (not the plant) in burlap stuffed with straw. This is only if you get harsh freezes. If you live in a temperate climate that does not freeze often then your rose will be fine. You could even bring it inside during the worst of the weather.
Good Luck
Reply:Depends on the winter climate of your location to cover it or not. If it is really cold, then yes, cover it with burlap after cutting it back just don't butcher the plant, leave a few inches from all of the sprouts or stems and don't suffocate it by wrapping the burlap bag too tight. You are just trying to keep it warm for the winter. Some straw or hay on top of the dirt will help keep the soil moist and the roots warm too.
Reply:Yes, prune it back (way back to main stems only about 6 inches long)if you are in a cold climate. Mulch the top of the dirt to keep the roots from freezing. Maybe move the pot very close to the building to help protect it. Do not cover the plant just protect the roots.
Reply:Depending on where you live, providing it doesn't get too cold, you should be ok pruning it back to about 2/3 its present sixe and leaving it outside for the wonter, Just do not let the roots freeze! If it is going to get that cold, bring it in for the night.

Any tips of dealing with my Rose bushes in the Fall season?
i love my roses and i have about 50 different types ..so i hope i know what im talking about..this year i am adding bone meal to the soil around them as i do in early spring to keep the acid up in the soil....if they are first year roses cut them back ( 8-10 inches from the nub) just before a steady frost...i build a thick mulch volcanos around my roses ( do NOT use leaves for this because leaves carry diseases) then i water them i give them a good watering hoping to encourage the roses to go dormat for the winter...second year or later roses i just give them a quick tip cuts and cut the flowering stems off (about 4 inches from wear the flower has bloomed) off...and of course they get the mulch around them too...this is what i do and i have had roses 4 ever...good luck
Reply:how you prepare your roses for winter depends on your area. In the Pacific Northwest we do the following: from August on fertilize only with Potassium to strengthen the canes. End of October remove all weak growth leave only about five strong canes, prune those down to 1.5 ft., mulch with mushroom manure about 8 inches up the canes. Beginning of March remove and spread the mulch around the root zone and start a fertilizer and spraying regimen.
Reply:Just keep cutting the spent flowers off. In the winter, while they are dormant, prune them.

How can I make my Desert Rose flourish?
I have a desert rose plant that my father gave me. His is huge now and full of blooms and mine loos like 2 twigs with a couple of leaves on top. What am I doing wrong?
How can I make my Desert Rose flourish?
Desert rose needs sun and very little water. Plant it in a pot with half and half potting soil and perlite. Water about every two weeks. Make sure it's in a place where it doesn't get rained on. If it's been grown in shade, acclimate it to sun by putting it into the sun for 5 minutes a day, then 10, then 15 and so on until you can leave it out all day.
Fertilize with Osmocote timed release 14-14-14, and use Miracle Gro Bloom Booster once a month during the spring/summer.
Good luck! Email me if you need anymore help.
Reply:ask your father what he did to the plant and how he did it.

Do different soil contents determine the color of a rose, and if so, how could one predict the change?
For example, I planted a clipping from my grandmother's climbing rose in my yard last year and the blooms are more of a reddish pink than the pale pink flowers she has. This year I will plant another clipping from her rose and want to know what to change to make the roses look the same.
Do different soil contents determine the color of a rose, and if so, how could one predict the change?
There are two points: Rose cuttings rarely take the form of the original plant, they more or less revert to the stock to which the original graft was made. Secondly, many plants can change colour if iron is added to the soil close to the roots. Metal swarf (metal filings or shaving from drilling) old iron nails, or even Enos or other liver salts in the soil near the roots will cause many flowers to change from pink to a beautiful blue.

How do you color tip a rose?
Buy some green fabric paint and dip the tip of your rose in it. If you want the paint to run down the rose a bit, you can set it up. If not, you need to hang the rose upside down until the paint dries....
Is that what you were meaning?
Edit: A real rose is what I thought you were meaning. I had read an article on this in some sort of home and garden magazine while I waited in the doctor's office. The fabric paint is more gentle than other types of paints....good luck!

Not a recipe, per se, but rose water makes an excellent facial cleanser. My grandmother only ever used rose water in all her seventy-something years and she had baby-soft, clear skin. Plus it smells delightful. Just soak on to cotton wool and wipe away. You could also decant it into a spray bottle (available from most chemists, including Boots) and use it as a facial spritz. That's particularly good in summer.

Rosewater (or rose syrup) is the hydrosol portion of the distillate of rose petals. Due to the perfume industry's immense demand for rose oil, rosewater has the status of an inexpensive by-product.
Rosewater has a very distinctive flavour and is used heavily in South Asian, West Asian and Middle Eastern cuisine—especially in sweets. For example, rosewater gives loukoumia and gulab jamuns their distinctive flavour. In Iran it is also added to tea, ice cream, cookies and other sweets in small quantities. It is also used for religious purposes in Hinduism and Islam
It is also a key ingredient in Sweet Lassi, a drink made from yogurt, sugar and various fruit juices.
In the Western world, rosewater is better known as an ingredient in cosmetics than as a food flavoring, though it is used in some marzipan and is sometimes used to flavor the shell-shaped French cookie called a madeleine. The official Rose Water Ointment, NF formulation was develped by Galen.
In Malaysia, rosewater is mixed with milk, sugar and pink food colouring to make a sweet drink called bandung.
Rose water was first obtained by distilling roses in Persia. Rose perfumes are made from attar of roses or rose oil, which is a mixture of volatile essential oils obtained by steam-distilling the crushed petals of roses. It is also believed that conquering Berbers introduced the rose into Spain from which they spread into Europe.
Orangewater is made from orange blossoms in a similar manner..
Retrieved from "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosewater"
Rose water is used in cosmetics for its lovely scent, but also because it has light astringent properties. As the gentlest of all astringents, rose water is often used as toner for fair and dry skin.
You must be careful when purchasing rose water to buy only the 100 percent pure form. Often what is available in pharmacies and even some natural food stores is synthetic rose oil and water with preservatives added. Pure rose water is the distilled water of roses. It is usually made by stream distillation, and it smells heavenly and tastes delicious.
Availability: Besides health food stores and herb stores, you can often find rose water in delicatessens; it is used as a flavoring in fancy Greek pastries, puddings, and cakes.
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.
Rose water has left an indelible mark on human history. This clear, sweet-tasting, aromatic liquid has been used in perfumery, cosmetics, and medicine for many centuries. In Middle Eastern and West Asian countries, it has long been used as a flavoring in cooking.
Rose water is basically an aqueous solution of some of the odoriferous constituents of rose flowers. One low-tech way to make it is to soak rose petals in water for a couple of weeks, with some alcohol added as a preservative. A speedier technique, developed by the ancient Persians, is to distill the flowers with water or steam.
One might call rose water poor man's attar, the highly prized—and highly priced—essential oil of roses used in fine perfume. Indeed, commercial rose water is a byproduct of the steam-distillation process used to isolate attar. It's what's left of the distillate after the attar is skimmed off the top.
Rosa 'Arkansas' (Brooklyn Botanic Garden)
That's not to say that it isn't fabulous stuff. Ancient Romans used rose water to freshen the air in their homes. And it is said that the sails of Cleopatra's cedarwood ship were scented with rose water—"the very winds were lovesick," Shakespeare wrote.
Rose water, it seemed, could sweeten any activity, even one as heavy-handed as construction. In the golden age of the caliphates of Baghdad, mosque builders mixed rose water (along with musk) into the mortar paste, so that the noonday sun would release the scent.
During the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, rose water was a popular remedy for depression. It was fine for bathing in, too, and as a "handwater" for rinsing.
The Persians were probably the first to explore the culinary potential of rose water, infusing mutton fat with it to season their food. They also invented one of the most enduring confections around—marzipan, which is made from ground almonds and sugar and traditionally flavored with rose water.
The earliest written recipes using rose water come from the glory days of the Arab Empire (8th to 11th century A.D.). Picking up a taste for rose water from the Persians, the Arabs used it to make sweet drinks and desserts and for seasoning savory dishes such as makhfiya (a lavish meatball concoction, described in detail in Reay Tannahill's wonderful Food in History).
With the migration of Islamic culture eastward, rose water became a popular flavoring for Indian desserts such as gulab jamun (fried milk balls in syrup) and the sweet yogurt drink lassi.
Other culinary highlights include lokum, or Turkish delight, a rose water–flavored candy dating back around 500 years to the early days of Turkey's Ottoman Empire. In the 19th century, American Shakers produced a double-distilled rose water flavoring that was almost as popular then as vanilla is today.
Rose water is relatively easy to make at home, and you don't need approval from the USDA or miles of special tubing to do it. In Herbs for Natural Beauty, Rosemary Gladstar outlines a home-brewing method that's simple and fun and takes about 45 minutes.
For ingredients, you'll need two to three quarts of fresh rose petals, clean water (distilled, if possible), and ice cubes. For equipment, you'll need a large pot with a convex lid, a quart-size heat-safe stainless steel or glass quart bowl, and a chimney brick.
First, place the brick in the center of the pot and the bowl on top of the brick. Then arrange the rose petals around the brick, adding enough flowers to reach the top of it. Pour in just enough water to cover the roses.
Place the lid upside down on the pot. Bring the water to a rolling boil; then lower the heat to a slow, steady simmer. As soon as the water begins to boil, empty two or three trays of ice cubes into the inverted lid. Ta-da—your home still! If it all goes right, condensed rose water will flow to the center of the lid and drip into the bowl.
It's important not to simmer the pot too long or your rose water will become diluted. When you've collected about a pint, it's time to stop—and taste the rose water.
The best rose water comes from the freshest, most fragrant petals. When I tried petals from commercially grown roses, the result was timid at best; grow your own or try to locate a garden source with pesticide-free old garden roses. Damasks, centifolias, and gallicas are the varieties most commonly used in the industry to brew the sweetest rose water draught.

Rose water is used in cosmetics for its lovely scent, but also because it has light astringent properties. As the gentlest of all astringents, rose water is often used as toner for fair and dry skin.
You must be careful when purchasing rose water to buy only the 100 percent pure form. Often what is available in pharmacies and even some natural food stores is synthetic rose oil and water with preservatives added. Pure rose water is the distilled water of roses. It is usually made by stream distillation, and it smells heavenly and tastes delicious.
Availability: Besides health food stores and herb stores, you can often find rose water in delicatessens; it is used as a flavoring in fancy Greek pastries, puddings, and cakes.
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.
Rose water has left an indelible mark on human history. This clear, sweet-tasting, aromatic liquid has been used in perfumery, cosmetics, and medicine for many centuries. In Middle Eastern and West Asian countries, it has long been used as a flavoring in cooking.
Rose water is basically an aqueous solution of some of the odoriferous constituents of rose flowers. One low-tech way to make it is to soak rose petals in water for a couple of weeks, with some alcohol added as a preservative. A speedier technique, developed by the ancient Persians, is to distill the flowers with water or steam.
One might call rose water poor man's attar, the highly prized—and highly priced—essential oil of roses used in fine perfume. Indeed, commercial rose water is a byproduct of the steam-distillation process used to isolate attar. It's what's left of the distillate after the attar is skimmed off the top.

That's not to say that it isn't fabulous stuff. Ancient Romans used rose water to freshen the air in their homes. And it is said that the sails of Cleopatra's cedarwood ship were scented with rose water—"the very winds were lovesick," Shakespeare wrote.
Rose water, it seemed, could sweeten any activity, even one as heavy-handed as construction. In the golden age of the caliphates of Baghdad, mosque builders mixed rose water (along with musk) into the mortar paste, so that the noonday sun would release the scent.
During the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, rose water was a popular remedy for depression. It was fine for bathing in, too, and as a "handwater" for rinsing.
The Persians were probably the first to explore the culinary potential of rose water, infusing mutton fat with it to season their food. They also invented one of the most enduring confections around—marzipan, which is made from ground almonds and sugar and traditionally flavored with rose water.
The earliest written recipes using rose water come from the glory days of the Arab Empire (8th to 11th century A.D.). Picking up a taste for rose water from the Persians, the Arabs used it to make sweet drinks and desserts and for seasoning savory dishes such as makhfiya (a lavish meatball concoction, described in detail in Reay Tannahill's wonderful Food in History).
With the migration of Islamic culture eastward, rose water became a popular flavoring for Indian desserts such as gulab jamun (fried milk balls in syrup) and the sweet yogurt drink lassi.
Other culinary highlights include lokum, or Turkish delight, a rose water–flavored candy dating back around 500 years to the early days of Turkey's Ottoman Empire. In the 19th century, American Shakers produced a double-distilled rose water flavoring that was almost as popular then as vanilla is today.
Rose water is relatively easy to make at home, and you don't need approval from the USDA or miles of special tubing to do it. In Herbs for Natural Beauty, Rosemary Gladstar outlines a home-brewing method that's simple and fun and takes about 45 minutes.
For ingredients, you'll need two to three quarts of fresh rose petals, clean water (distilled, if possible), and ice cubes. For equipment, you'll need a large pot with a convex lid, a quart-size heat-safe stainless steel or glass quart bowl, and a chimney brick.
First, place the brick in the center of the pot and the bowl on top of the brick. Then arrange the rose petals around the brick, adding enough flowers to reach the top of it. Pour in just enough water to cover the roses.
Place the lid upside down on the pot. Bring the water to a rolling boil; then lower the heat to a slow, steady simmer. As soon as the water begins to boil, empty two or three trays of ice cubes into the inverted lid. Ta-da—your home still! If it all goes right, condensed rose water will flow to the center of the lid and drip into the bowl.
It's important not to simmer the pot too long or your rose water will become diluted. When you've collected about a pint, it's time to stop—and taste the rose water.
The best rose water comes from the freshest, most fragrant petals. When I tried petals from commercially grown roses, the result was timid at best; grow your own or try to locate a garden source with pesticide-free old garden roses. Damasks, centifolias, and gallicas are the varieties most commonly used in the industry to brew the sweetest rose water draught.
Mango Lassi
2 cups plain yogurt
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup ice cubes
1-1/4 cups diced mango (yellow-skinned)
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon rose water
Blend all ingredients except the yogurt in a blender for 30 seconds on high speed. Add the yogurt and process until frothy. Serve the lassi strained or unstrained over crushed ice. Garnish with a rose petal.

How big is the average black baccara rose? compared to passion rose?
http://www.fwxflowers.co.uk/rose/c3268-1...
the site says between 1 and 6 inches. but thats what they say of ALL the roses...
so whats the average size black baccara?
Otherwise, i want a deep scarlet rose that is a "good" size, any ideas? is a passion rose really that scarlet? thats what i was recommended but i am not sure from the pictures they just look average red to me?
How big is the average black baccara rose? compared to passion rose?
Do you mean the size of the bloom or the shrub? The site would be talking about the size of the bloom, closed about 1-2 inches, fully open 5-6 inches. This would be true of most Floribunda species roses.
The size of the rose bush will vary according to how much you prune it. Let go and a rose will grow up the three meters and beyond. Best keep it pruned to under a meter.
Every winter after they loose their leaves, prune back hard and open up the plant (take out branches that cross over, turn inwards etc). This will stimulate lots of new growth come spring and lots of flowers.
I cant suggest a particular variety as there are thousands and one thats available down here may not be a common type there. I have grown Black Baccara before and it is a beautiful rose.

Why does everyone think Derrick Rose is going to be a great PG?
Rose averaged only 4.7 assists per game in college, which is around the same as players like Gordon, Hinrich, and Iverson. The real great point guards in the NBA like Paul, Williams, Kidd, and even Baron Davis, averaged way more assists in college. So how is he going to be the next Chris Paul and average 10 assists in the NBA? And he's also not that good of a shooter. Isn't he just going to be a slightly bigger and more athletic form of Chris Duhon?
Why does everyone think Derrick Rose is going to be a great PG?
I've kind of wondered this too. He played OK most of the year against OK competition and then turned it up for a few games in the tournament, and now he's supposed to be the next Jason Kidd. He disappeared for long stretches this year, and he didn't dominate Conference USA like Beasley dominated the much-stronger Big 12. His assists numbers aren't that great like you said. Rose is closer to Marbury than Kidd in my mind. Here are there freshman stats:
Rose: 14.9 pts, 4.7 asts, 4.5 rebs,
Kidd: 13.0 pts, 7.7 asts, 4.9 rebs
Marbury: 18.9 pts, 4.5 asts, 3.1 rebs
Rose put up these numbers in Conference USA, while Kidd and Marbury played in Pac-10 and ACC respectively.
Reply:both adam morrison and jj redick avg 28+ points in college... jordan avg 16pts for his career in north carolina. iverson was a turnover machine in college, gordon doesn't even pass now. kirk had a very, very, very, forgettable season after having three stellar ones. you can't compare players stats out of college and think it'll transition to the NBA. rose could of scored more or passed more... but really he just played TEAM BALL and took his team further than paul ever did in the NCAA tourney... further than Iverson, Kidd and Davis ever as a freshman could do. He has athleticism, poise, has power moves to the rim, can create his own shot and is clutch, and i'm sure if he hung around for his SOPHOMORE season he would of put up numbers equal to or better then those you listed then he did as a FRESHMAN leading his team to the title game.
P.S. duhon started sucking it after jay williams left and by the time he was drafted no one expected much out of him. to chris' credit he's a serviceable player.
Reply:Cause hes 6-3 and almost 200 pounds, with lighting speed and has great vision. Plus he locks people down. His only weakness is that he doesnt have a great shot but that will develop in the NBA. And remeber that in college its alot harder to get assits, the pg's run plays and they dont just drive and dish. Jason Richards led the league in assists per game and he only had 8.0 apg. Plus all he had to do was dish it to Stephen Curry and do a jigg while Curry drained a three for a fat facial.
Reply:He will be more of a scoring point guard like Tony Parker. The best is a stretch but he will be in some All-Star games and maybe the best during his prime compared to the other PGs in the league. Not all-time.
Reply:cause he led his team to the final four and they almost beat kansas but lost in overtime

Do you know what name of Rose without thorns?
I like Rose but hate thorns. Is there have Rose without thorns, if there do. Please tell me what name of Rose and what colour do they have. I want to have Rose without thorns in my garden.
Do you know what name of Rose without thorns?
My favorite thornless rose is the 'Zephirine Drouhin' rose. It is an antique Bourbon rose. It is billed as a climbing rose although I have grown it as a "shrub" with a little pruning.
The roses are a dark pink and smell like lemon iced tea. It can also take some shade which makes it very versatile (I believe it can take as little as 4 hours of sun and still bloom although it doesn't rebloom well in the more shady areas). It is also pretty hardy and does not seem to get black spot or other fungal diseases (even in the shade) although I usually get a good crop of aphids first thing in the spring.
It is readily available by mail order from places like Jackson and Perkins or Spring Hill Nursery, etc. You may also be able to find it at Home Depot or Lowe's if they carry Jackson and Perkins roses.
Just writing this makes me anxious for mine to bloom again this year! You will love it.

How can I kill the bugs that have chosen my indoor potted rose plant for a home before they kill my plant?
I am growing a rose plant in a pot and i brought it inside for the winter. Since it's been inside it has been under constant attack by aphids and these wormy-millipedie things. What can i do to keep the bugs off and help my plant survive the winter indoors.
How can I kill the bugs that have chosen my indoor potted rose plant for a home before they kill my plant?
Reynwater said "Dysiston" which I also think works good. But also change the soil. When I bring in my plants for the winter I spray them and change the soil.
Reply:Dysiston is an excellent systemic pesticide. Available at garden shops. Stinky, but killz kritters! Or you can use the good old soapy water spray thing to kill aphids....I managed to kill a chrisanthemum with dish soap.
Reply:house spectricide in a powder. its really good. also, make sure u let it dry out completely. granny
Reply:There are all sorts of natural pesticide methods to take care of this, but I'm afraid none of them will work terribly well for you (your best shot is to try insecticidal soap). In my experiences, the only thing that has worked for me is systemic pesticide. It is smelly and toxic, but it works.
Next year, try treating the plants you are bringing in with systemic pesticide a couple of weeks before you bring them inside. Be careful with it around pets!

Can anyone tell me when is the best time to cut back rose bushes?
How far should they be cut back? Will the rose bush bloom out in the summer if they have been cut back?
Can anyone tell me when is the best time to cut back rose bushes?
You can cut roses back in the early spring, I have done mine as late as when they are starting to leaf, then I can tell where to cut the dead canes off. Yes, they will bloom.
Just cut out the dead canes, and the ones that are crowding each other out, don't get too bare with them, but had to cut mine back all the way last year because of winter kill. They were flush with the ground, and bloomed better than they had in years.
Reply:I live in Monterey Ca. (central coast). I prune generaly after the last chance of frost. How far they should be cut back is a personal preferance. Branches that point in should be cut out. The branches you want to keep need to be pruned in a way that the new growth grows in an outward fashion. Look for the buds and cut above a bud pointing outward. Your roses will start to bud when the weather starts to warm. Your roses will bloom throughout the spring, summer, %26amp; fall, as long as you keep the dead flowers pinched off. good luck.
Reply:Cut them back in the spring.Cut about one inch below the dead wood.Cutting back will get you more flowers this summer.
Reply:Early spring, when buds are just beginning to show on the canes is the best time. However, if you live in a mild climate, you can prune in late fall, as soon as the plants go dormant.
See source for instructions and more information.
Reply:In the fall when the sap is down.

Will too much tea leaves kill the rose plants?
it is very hard for us to buy rose plants here, i do not want to use them as experiment, please help.
i have expired un-used tea leaves,
1] can i use it straight to the rose bushes or i have to make it exactly like the used tea leaves?
2] how much is the maximum quantity we can use on each rose? will too much tea leaves kill the plant?
3] is there any limit of the amount of egg shell we can use on rose plants?
4] can i mix tea leaves, egg shell and rose food together for the plants?
Will too much tea leaves kill the rose plants?
1] I would NOT use straight tea leaves on my rose bush. Useing used tea leaves twice a year would be acceptable.
2] Too much WILL kill the rose. It is too acidic for the rose.
3] Useing eggshells around rose bushes is acceptable. It will keep the bugs away and will supply a small amount of nutrients to the plant. Do not use more than three shells, twice a year. If they do not compost well, cut back the amount of shells you use.
4] You can mix tea leaves,egg shells and rose food together. However, as mentioned in the above answers, do not over fertilize. Depending on the type of fertilizer you use it is usually recommended that rose bushes be fertilized 1 in the spring, 1 in mid summer. Mulch over winter.
5] Good Luck

Roses have a long and colorful history. According to fossil evidence, the rose is 35 million years old. Today, there are over 30,000 varieties of roses and it has the most complicated family tree of any known flower species.
The cultivation of roses most likely began in Asia around 5000 years ago. They have been part of the human experience ever since and mentions of the flower are woven into a great many tales from the ancient world.

One Rose outside is growing some leaves but the other is not
How do I tell, my Rose in a pot is still alive?
Keep watering and prunning. Trim the Questionable rose back and check the inside of the cutting to see if there is still some green in there, If it is dry and brown all the way through cut it lower untill you find some life If you dont find Any then it is most likly dead.
But it may also sprout new life out the bottom, i would leave it for a while before getting rid of it just to make sure it was dead.

Does anyone know where to buy the abracadabra rose?
I've been searching for this rose for sometime now, but no one seems to sell it anymore. I've checked the normal sites with no luck, it such a beautiful rose and I would like to find it. If you can help I thank you in advance.
Does anyone know where to buy the abracadabra rose?
If you're looking for the pink Jackson and Perkins rose, try Maas (or maybe Mas?) nursery. If you're looking for the red and yellow florist rose, that may be more difficult. Maybe Kordes can tell you, as I believe they were the breeder.

What would the earth's land mass look like if the Oceans rose 20 feet worldwide?
Is there anyone living who is mathmatically savvy enough to figure out what the earth's land mass would look like if the Oceans rose twenty feet globally?
What would the earth's land mass look like if the Oceans rose 20 feet worldwide?
One does not need to be mathematically savvy to figure this out, just have access to the right geographical information. Fortunately for you, I created a series of maps of this subject for a colleague at Yale University a couple of years ago.
On a global scale, a rise of 20 meters (which is about 66 feet, about 3 times the change you specified) in sea level would not change the shorelines of the continents very much.
Unfortunately, since a majority of the world's population lives along the coast, this is still a big problem.
For the United States, I have a map with a sea level rise of 6 meters (just a bit less than 20 feet). On the west coast the largest change is that San Francisco Bay would extend into the Central Valley to Sacramento. Along the Gulf of Mexico, the shoreline would move inland as far as Houston, and into central Louisiana. Southern Florida south of about Fort Myers and Palm Beach would be underwater. Along the east coast, the shoreline would move inland from 0 to 50 miles (or so), the largest distance being in eastern North Carolina and the smallest distance in New England.
If there was a way to post the maps on here, I would.
Reply:You'd see a little bit of peripheral land loss and formation of bays up some river systems. 20 feet isn't a whole lot on a global scale.
There's a googleearth macro you can load that allows you to see how the earth would look with various sea level rises. You need to be zoomed in relatively locally for it to work properly though, so you never get the global view.
You can see what would happen by looking at topo maps (there are several places on the net you can see topos for free) and looking at the first contours above sea level to see what effect incremental sea rise would make.
Even the maximum 250 foot rise would not be globally huge, although it definitely would change things a lot along the coasts. Where I live would go back under water again, which I suppose is better than the kilometer of ice that was here before the ocean rose to cover it for a couple thousand years.

What would the earth's land mass look like if the Oceans rose 20 feet worldwide?
One does not need to be mathematically savvy to figure this out, just have access to the right geographical information. Fortunately for you, I created a series of maps of this subject for a colleague at Yale University a couple of years ago.
On a global scale, a rise of 20 meters (which is about 66 feet, about 3 times the change you specified) in sea level would not change the shorelines of the continents very much.
Unfortunately, since a majority of the world's population lives along the coast, this is still a big problem.
For the United States, I have a map with a sea level rise of 6 meters (just a bit less than 20 feet). On the west coast the largest change is that San Francisco Bay would extend into the Central Valley to Sacramento. Along the Gulf of Mexico, the shoreline would move inland as far as Houston, and into central Louisiana. Southern Florida south of about Fort Myers and Palm Beach would be underwater. Along the east coast, the shoreline would move inland from 0 to 50 miles (or so), the largest distance being in eastern North Carolina and the smallest distance in New England.

How do I get my Rose Tree to start sprouting??
I bought a Rose Tree and it has stems that were grown out when I bought it, but there is no new green growth on it and I planted it over 1 month ago. I have no clue what to do......help!!
How do I get my Rose Tree to start sprouting??
Maybe the roots need more time to settle in and grow. Have you been watering it regularly? Is it still kind of cold where you are (we still have a few patches of snow!)?
Look carefully at the stems, and you should see bumpy places where the leaves will bud out from. It should be a little bit flexible, and if you cut it, the inside of the stem will be green.
Hard to tell without more details, though. Good luck!
Reply:If you live in an area where it is still winter then you need a bit of patience. To see if your plant is still alive just scratch one of the stems with your finger nail . It should show green. Good luck.

How do I plant a rose?
A regular rose that came as a gift died but instead of drying, new offspring are coming from the leaves! how do I plant them?
How do I plant a rose?
I'm a little confused. Are you talking about a cut rose? Are buds opening or are you getting new growth from a rose plant? If it is a cut rose then you can't plant it. However, if you have a bush just plant it in the ground. Many people get mini roses as gifts and are completely unaware that these are rose bushes intended to be planted outside so if this is what you are talking about then I would do my best to keep it alive over winter and then plant it in the ground in full sun after all danger of spring freeze is over. However, if you live in zone 9 or higher then you can go ahead and put it in the ground.
Planting instructions:
1) prepare the new home by digging a hole 2ftx2ft and water the hole. Fill the hole with water and let it drain at least twice.
2) save the top 2/3 of soil that you just dug up and set aside. Discard the bottom 1/3.
3) amend the soil you saved with peat, bone meal, and garden compost.
4) in the bottom of the hole add a layer of manure 2-3 inches thick and then layers some of the amended soil on top of the manure. Do NOT set the roots directly on the manure.
5) Remove the rose from it's container and check and trim off any dead or damaged roots. Also, make sure your rose is not root bound loosening the soil and unbind the roots.
6) set the rose in hole making sure the soil on the root ball is a little above the level of the new hole. You want the rose to be on a small mound.
7) fill in the hole half way with the ammended soil and water. Once the water has run through then finish filling in the hole with the soil and water throughly.
Good Luck
Reply:you cant plant a rose... you have to plant a rose bush
Reply:Well first you take a mini shovel, then you make a hole.Next you take the seeds and you put them in the hole.(make sure you put the hole in the sun.)Then you cover up the seeds/cover the hole.after you do that pour some water on the hole(make sure you don't over fill with water.The right amount is when you see that the top of the dirt were you planted the seed.)the last thing make sure you pull the weeds around it and don't forget to give it enough water and plenty of sunshine.)You'll do fine.

How can you preserve a rose for a little longer after it's already been in a vase for a few days?
I usually prefer pink or peach or something like that when it comes to roses but some one gave me a rose a few days ago and it's one of the most beautiful red roses I think I have ever seen. How can I keep it a little longer?

Add a non coated aspirin. This dissolves and actully helps the plant stay pretty longer.
Reply:THIS MUST BE A VERY SPECIAL PERSON AS WELL AS A BEAUTIFUL FLOWER TO YOU.
IF YOU HAVE A DEHYDRATOR (THE TYPE USED TO MAKE JERKY) YOU CAN PLACE THE ROSE IN THERE TO PRESERVE IT, BUT UNFORTUNATELY THE COLOR WILL CHANGE. PRESERVE THE MEMORY OF THAT MOMENT AND THE ROSE WILL LAST FOREVER. GOOD LUCK,

Does anyone have any advice on Jackson Perkins rose bushes?
I purchased 3 Jackson Perkins 'Blaze of Glory' climbers today. I have not raised rose bushes before, but have always wanted to, so here goes! I am going to plant them in front of a redwood fence approx. 50 ft long. They should have plenty of room to climb up and down the fence. I bought some rose food for when I initially plant them. Does anyone have any other advice? Are Jackson Perkins fairly easy to raise? Thanks for you help.
Does anyone have any advice on Jackson Perkins rose bushes?
Yes, J%26amp;P roses are fine. Are these bare root roses or potted? If bare root, soak them in water for several hours.
Forget the fertilizer at planting. The main thing is to create a happy soil home for these guys. So dig a nice big and wide hole for each. Digging loosens the soil allowing the new roots easy access to the soil around it. While digging, add compost or peat moss (that has been previously moistened..good luck with that) The ratio can be 50:50 soil and compost but doesn't have to be quite that high. If you need to add a chemical, add superphosphate, otherwise compost is fine.
Now if bare root you need to create a soil cone in the middle of the hole so when you set the plant in, you can spread the roots out. If you are planting from a container.......ah, good luck again. These container plants don't have the greatest root system holding the soil ball together......so first measure how deep the root ball is and make your hold that same depth...you'll be throwing soil back in, that's fine. Then remove from container and set on the soil and start back filling.
With either barefoot or container, stop half way and water well. DON'T dance all over the soil trying to get out air pockets, that's the water's job. Keep your feet away. Then finish backfilling and water again.
Now with climbers, they flower better if you train them a bit more horizontal than vertical, but sounds like that's what you had in mind anyway. Blaze isn't that particular, but it's a nice habit to get into.
They should do well. Blaze is a reliable performer. Oh, the fertilizer.......wait, wait, wait.......6 weeks.....there should be enough nutrients in the soil to carry them at least that long, if not longer.
Reply:I *love* Jackson and Perkins Roses!! They are the first Roses I had, and i've loved them since!
Roses are not nearly as difficult as some people say they are. I think you will be happy with the, especially a year or two from now, when they are blooming like crazy! I have a red climber on my front porch - not J%26amp;P brand though - and this is it's 3rd year. It has so many new buds already, it will be beautiful.
Good luck, and enjoy your new Roses!! =)

How do I put a rose garden to bed in the fall?
Last year I put over a foot of leaves over it but my Circus Rose died along with most of the mini roses.I dont want this to happen again this year because I'm planting more in the same place
How do I put a rose garden to bed in the fall?
I know that when I put a deep cover of leaves over my tea rose bushes, the leaf cover must have gotten wet and stayed wet or something, because the rosebushes died and never did come back. Maybe the burlap would keep the water from soaking in and wilting/rotting the bushes?
Reply:What part of the country do you live in? If you are in the northern part of the US you may want to trim back in the fall and cover with the styrafoam covers that they make for roses.
Reply:the answer is geographically dependent
Reply:Pack them in leaves like you did but this time cover them with burlap. you would be surprised how effective this is.

Japanese rose and ordinary rose from same species?
why do they call it japenese rose?are they from same species. Japanese rose is so small and it does not look like the ordinary rose at all.. and it does not even smell like rose.
Japanese rose and ordinary rose from same species?
Japanese Rose is Kerria japonica in Latin, ofcourse, Rose is Rosa in Latin. Both belong to the same family, Rosaceae.
The Rosaceae family is one of the largest plant family (at least for cultivated plants for the North American continent).
Kerria and Rhodotypos are pretty closely related. They are probably closer to Spirea than Roses.
None of the plants that I just mentioned have much of a fragrance, if any. All are easy to grow, in full sun to light shade. Kerria and Rhodotypos are tolerant of more shade.
I hope that this helps
Good luck-
Reply:Never heard of "Japanese" rose .
"Same species"?
Do you mean that you have different roses on the same plant ? If so , you have a grafted rose, and are getting suckers from the root stock . If this is the case , follow the stems back to below the graft ( the knobby thing) and cut them off .
The graft should be planted ~4" below ground . If this isn't done , suckers usually result .If your graft isn't buried, bury it by adding soil . In some varieties, roots will grow , and you'll get in effect, an "own-root" plant , that is stronger, and less likely to die .
If the small , non-fragrant rose is all you have , it might just be what it is ( not all are large, or fragrant) , or the original plant (top) has died and all you have left is rootstock . Whichever it is , just a matter of personal preference , whether to keep it or not . If you don't like it ( sounds as if you don't), get rid of it .
If you decide to replace it with another rose, move the new plant at least 3', or dig out and replace the soil in a 3' radius . Roses exude something ( not sure what yet) that kills subsequent roses, for three yrs.
Good Luck

Why does adding Epson Salt to the soil of a rose bush make it bloom?
Why does Epson Salts make a rose bloom? My mother in law had a rose bush under her Kitchen window for 20 years and it never bloomed once. A neighbor suggested she add some Epson Salt to the soil around the bush. She did, and the thing has been producing flowers every year since. What is there in Epson Salts that encourages growth in the rose bush? Is this treatment good for other plants as well?
Why does adding Epson Salt to the soil of a rose bush make it bloom?
Epson salts ( Magnesium Sulphate ) obviously contains Magnesium
an inportant trace element in the groth of roses, as well as apples
( the rose is part of the Apple family ) Don't over do it with them , however .... about two tablespoons dissolved in a gallon of water
is the usual amount . Soak it in next to the roots, being careful not to wet the foliage ( NEVER a good idea )
a couple of ohter things to try ... Eggshells . Save your eggshells ; let them dry a day or so, and crush them up fine, and apply to the base of the plant. This will help supply Calcium , another important mineral.The other thing to try is banana peels. I cut them up with mt kitchen shears , and spread them out under the plants.
These also supply Magnesium, as well as Potassium ... They turn brown in a day or so, and disappear into the soil.... I save both eggshells and banana peels all winter, and applt them liberally , come spring.....
Reply:The Epson Salt does not cause the flower to bloom. The salt actually gives the roses a bad case of diarreah which fertilizes the soil around the plant and promotes growth. Manure is a organic fertilizer.
Reply:Epsom salt is a potassium salt, and potassium is the soil nutrient most closely related to bloom production.
Why does adding Epson Salt to the soil of a rose bush make it bloom?
Epson salts ( Magnesium Sulphate ) obviously contains Magnesium

When you buy a rose should u take the leaves off the stem before you give it to someone?
when you buy a red long stem rose should you remove the leaves that are on the stem? what about the green leaves right below the pedals?
When you buy a rose should u take the leaves off the stem before you give it to someone?
leave the leaves on! it looks odd without them and most people enjoy looking at them, why on earth would u want to take them off? well if its dying then i can see y but if not leave them be.
Reply:You can take the leaves off the stem, but it looks better if you keep the top two leaves closest to the bloom. It is better to nip the thorns all off. A little more user friendly. And with a nice ribbon or bow.
Reply:I wouldnt remove anything but the thorns!

How well can the Miami Heat do if they draft Derrick Rose to play along side D-wade and Shawn Marion?
If the Miami Heat decide to pick Derrick Rose over Beasly (Granted they get the #1 pick) I believe they could do very well in a very weak eastern conference. With D-Wade healthy and playing the SG they could look alot like the Warriors. Young, fast and talented. They would lack alot of size and interior defence but could make it up with speed and hustle.
How well can the Miami Heat do if they draft Derrick Rose to play along side D-wade and Shawn Marion?
i think many people will tell miami to take a C. but how? the top two picks are definitely beasley or rose. brook lopez, a C is 3rd. i dun think miami would dare to take lopez cos riley will get owned when he picks him.
now, on to your question
derrick rose will fit in perfectly.
1. marion needs those passes from rose to be great (like from nash).
2. wade wont be forced to play the point like how he did this year.
3. rose can play wade's role when wade is injured
Reply:how bout this? wade is shooting guard, Beasley-pf, marion-sf, bynum-c(the heat can trade williams, and someother ppl. since, la lakers got gasol), and we will get Arenas maybe? Report It
Reply:with the lack of defense, they will be like the Phoenix Suns without shaq Report It
Reply:The Warriors are a good comparison, but I think it's important to remember that the Warriors might miss the playoffs this year too. They're very exciting, but I'm not sure small ball is the way to win a championship. They could definitely have a good, competitive team with Rose...or they could have a future championship contender with a talented big guy paired with Wade, like they did with Shaq. I'd go with Beasley.
Reply:I think the Heat will have a good team next year, it reminds me a lot of the Spurs when they tanked the year for Duncan.
Reply:Another year heading to the lottery will happen if they draft Rose or anybody for that matter
Reply:I THINK THEY NEED A CENTER MORE THAN A PG BUT ITS ALL GOOD
Reply:they need a center, more than anything! i think they really got beat in paint this year!
Reply:I think Beasley is a better fit. Then get a fine PG during their next pick.
Reply:Sick Backcourt Combo....
Reply:Well, I don't understand how this trade did not work for Miami ( Shawn Marion and Shaq ). They got the fastest PF in the league, a walking double-double and they still did not make any improvements. This shows that the thing is all about coach, he passed his prime, and it seems that he can't get to organize teams way to the win. I don't know how well Rose would fit in this team and can he make it any better. D Wade and Shawn Marion are among the best players at their position ( SG and PF ) and still they have the worst record in the league. I would like to see Rose steping up and help this team.

Where can I buy SEEDS to raise rose bushes?
I am particularly interested in buying seeds to raise examples of the Rambling Rector rose bush, but perhaps seeds for some other vigorous climbing white rose would be fine.
Where can I buy SEEDS to raise rose bushes?
Im no expert but am having a go at starting roses from seed.I got my info at http://www.abc.net.au/gardening/stories/...

Why is a rose associated with love when a rose always dies?
true love is never supposed to die, like the love God has for us. but no matter what what a rose will always die. so why is love so strongly bound to the rose?
Why is a rose associated with love when a rose always dies?
Fallen Angel, you have some really weird ideas. Who said love is never supposed to die? And who said God will always love us? Maybe there will come a time when God really hates someone and decides to really screw with them and like throws gasoline on the person and lights them up and they are screaming, "Put it out, put it out!" But God says,"Fugg you, I am sick and tired of you, you aren't any fun to play with any more." Then God throws more gasoline on the person and as the person is screaming really loud and they can't even cry, God just laughs and says, "There, that will show you who's boss. How dare you think the world is round. Now burn, burn, burn you crispy critter."
In conclusion, God may like dead roses and crispy people he doesn't like any more.
Reply:rose is just a symbol of love.
its not the real thing.
cupid is associated with love too, and he never dies.
Reply:because all love has the chance of succeding or failing misreably and crashing and burning...jus like roses that can succede and bloom or fail and wilt...plus roses always come back in the spring...so i guess as easily as love can be lost...it can also reappear.
Reply:a rose is a thing of beauty when it first blossoms, like love... the problem is the rose may fade away, and so may love
Reply:I guess you have never been married. Love does not last a lifetime. It IS possible for some people to stay married for a lifetime but I GUARUNTEE you that what they feel for each other at the end is not what they felt at the beginning. Certain aspects (attachment) may have grown stronger but others (lust, passion, 'romantic love') will have faded.
What things are 'supposed to be' (eg. the fairy tales we are told when we are kids) and what they REALLY ARE just don't match.
Sorry to break it to ya, kid.
Reply:1. everything dies
2. it's a pretty flower. before it was bred to have no smell, it was a powerful, clear and unmistakeable scent. it stuck with you. love sticks with you
3. you're talking about two kinds of love. and there are many more.
4. to the poets, love is harsh, delicate, and fleeting. the rose has thorns (harsh), soft petals (delicate) and dies (fleeting)
What better symbol would you have?
Reply:my wife gives me something made from stainless steel, Iam serious..
Reply:It is a good symbol because love smells so sweet and captures the eye, but there are thorns, it must be handeled carefully. And it is fragile.
True Love does not die but we are mortals and imperfect, as is our love. Love and Life are works in progress. Like a growing rose, if you try to capture it, cut it off and put it on display, you kill it. Left alone, it goes through a natural cycle and next year, there it is again!
Reply:rose does not = love
it is meant to show somone you love them...
nothing last forever
Reply:I feel the same way about cigars. A great Cuban turns into smoke, but ah! but what a smoke it was! Yes?
Reply:I don't know why rose is associated with love... but to take it further ONLY God's love will never die. We as human beings will always experience the pain of loving, being rejected, loving again , having to reject. I guess going with your line of thinking a rose would be the perfect symbol. Love in full bloom like a rose is beautiful. And eventually it withers away...like loving and being in love can.
Reply:love always dies. there is no such thing as true love
Reply:because a rose is also born just like new love. and evne though it dies it never really goes away.
Reply:i agree roses always die soooo when i go out to a bar and a rose girl comes by for my "friend" to by me a rose i say no, i have allergies to them hahaha..... then tell him why spent money on a rose that will be dead in 2 days?? i would rather he buy me something that will live for awhile
Reply:Good question. Nothing lasts forever. Including love. I've always said... Love will only get you so far, it's what's in the checkbook that keeps people together.
Reply:Well, we all die too.
By the way, each color rose stands for different things.
Red = Love
Yellow = Friendship
don't know the rest.
Reply:A rose is a symbol of love. It has a beginning and an end, just like life. There is no symbol of love that can last forever, other than love itself.
Reply:Because just like love, a rose is fragile. Once a rose is cut,from it's life source, the rose bush, it slowly dies, like love dies once it is cut from it's life source, your heart. As God's love always blooms for us no matter what, a rose bush will always bloom their roses.
Reply:You're absolutely full of it. Love can die very easily.
The rose thing is just symbolism..no real significance.
Reply:From the expression on your avatars face, I think you know the answer to this question. Love does die, and so do the people that are in love.
Oh. And bye the bye, love is only associated with the rose, if someone is unable to distinguish what society tells them symbolizes love, and what they know love is.

Will i kill the rose bushes if i cut off the thorn?
i cut off all the thorn on the rose bushes, will the plant die or it wont?
Will i kill the rose bushes if i cut off the thorn?
by removing all the thorns on the rose bush you are leaving the rose open to attack from disease entering into the open wound ...try spraying with a systemic fungicide till the wounds heal this might help but unless their is a good reason to do so l would leave it well alone
Reply:Well it depends on how big the thorns are... I now that seems weird but it does. If they are small then it probly won't die (unless it's VERY sensetive) but if the thorns are big it might cause it to die depending on if the rose bush isn't near sunlight.
Reply:Proably not. However, to save the trouble next time, there are thornless roses available at most nursurys.
Reply:yes it will. the thorns are too much a part of the rose tree for it to survive that. thorns are there for a reason.
if you want to avoid the thorn cut the rose then cut off the thorns.
Reply:no
Reply:In pruning rose bushes, you can pretty much cut most rose bushes to within eight inches of the ground without killing them. However, I'd be very careful about it. Mostly, when trimming back plants, you only want to take off the dried or dead growth from the season previous. Sometimes, adding a little parafin at the site of your cutting is a good idea, especially for a large branch. There's the thought that the plant might "bleed" to death otherwise. I'm not sure about that.
I don't know why you would want to remove the thorns, the bush will still keep producing them. It won't change nature's pattern at all. It will also introduce what amounts to lots of little open wounds on the plant, where bacteria and bugs can invade. Removing the thorns won't hurt the plant initially, but the end result might be death to it anyway. I suppose if you just have to try it out of curiosity, the paraffin trick might help keep the bush from getting some awful disease or other.
Reply:probably
Reply:In most circumstance, No. But it just really depends on the plant.

Why is a rose associated with love when a rose always dies?
because a rose is red and the heart is red. that is why they are associated with each other. nothing lasts forever. the rose and the heart will die. love dies. and when it dies, there we experience the love of God forever. if you dont go to hell that is.
Reply:a rose looks like a heart and in olden days, people believed that love comes from the heart. thus the rose is being used as a symbol of love.
Reply:a rose is just a symbol of what someone feels for you at the time...that is why it is important to get them every year...but as a rose dies so do we...you can look at it like this...this rose means i love you and as it dies it was still there like I am there now and still will be after I die.

How do you transplate rose bushes?
also how do you grow more rose bushes from the ones you already have thinks in advance!
How do you transplate rose bushes?
Transplant in the spring, you can take a stem with several nodes and try to root it.
If you want to transplant now, make sure you have the whole ball root.
Reply:It is best to transplant roses in winter when they are dorment. (if it is not able to be moved in winter, then spray the leaves with an anti-stress coating first). Prepare the hole where the rose is to be put. Do not add any fertilzer to the hole. Prune the rose back hard, then dig with a spade around the roots, and gently pry the roots loose from the soil. Any dead or weak looking roots can be pruned away now. Put the rose in the new hole, water in well, and make sure that there are no pockets of air where no soil is, so water some more. Add some liquid seaweed concentrate to your watering can for an added boost when watering the rose in. Do not fertilize your rose until it is showing lots of new growth a few months later.
To take cuttings from your rose, cut a bit off a stem about 6-8 inches long. Dip in a hormone rooting powder or gel, then put in a pot with seed raising mix in it. Water sparingly. Take lots of cuttings, as roses can be funny and you may only get a couple out of every ten cuttings you take. If a rose comes up that is nothing like the rose you took it off, then you have successfully taken a cutting of rose root stock, which will grow like crazy but produce small blooms. That is when you can use it to graft a 'good' rose onto.
