I'll try and keep this short...I recently received my preserved wedding bouquet and I am thinking that these are not my roses that I sent to them. My bouquet didn't have very many greens in it. This bouquet has leaves around the edge of the bouquet that look like grocery store rose leaves? (and a few within the bouquet)
I hate to think that I have been bamboozeled, but if anyone can point out a website that can help me identify roses, it would be a great start! Thanks!
Can anyone help me identify a rose?

Sometimes when bouquets are preserved the color of the roses (or other flowers) changes. Sometimes the outer petals of the flowers become discolored and the preserver chooses to remove them, which makes the bouquet a little smaller, so they might fill in with more/new greenery.
Hope this helps.
Reply:Since the one you have now is preserved, you could go to a flower shop and look for the rose (you described it very well so you must remember what the particular rose in question looks like)...and ask them the name of the rose. If they don't know (then these employees should be fired), then maybe you could take pics of the rose from there and post pics with your question next time.

A Yahoo search for "climbing rose bush" (include the quotation marks in the search box) yields 2,840 results. If you do the same search, and are willing to spend a little time exploring, I'm sure that you will quickly find the information you seek.
Good luck with your search.
Reply:you should stop pruning by mid-August, only deadhead if the rose is still blooming. No you shouldn't cut it down before winter. The idea is for the rose to NOT put on any new growth between now and winter, because the new growth is tender and may get killed by the cold. Pruning/cutting back stimulates new growth. Alos roses in cold climates get alot of winter kill. Prune in early spring..
Reply:let it keep growing this fall, then prune back in january. It should start flowering next spring. Don't forget to fertilize it at the beginning of spring.
Reply:If you trim it it will bloom better. You want to trim it above a set of 5 healthy grouping og leaves. Usually you will want to cut it practically to the ground in the dead of winter when it gets too big.
Reply:Roses love abuse, trim it if you want, or not, either way. I just wait until my roses become too unruly and then I wack them back. Roses also LOVE fertilizer, I use Miracle Gro. This will most likely make them bloom. I used Miracle Gro on my wild roses this spring, gave them a Huge dose, and I had sooooo many blooms they weighted down the branches! Good Luck!
Reply:I think so.!

How do I bring my mini rose bush back to life?
In August a friend of mine gave me a mini rose bush as a gift. I transplanted it, because the pot it was in was getting too small. It did really great for the first few months, but now all of a sudden it's drying up! Is it because of the fall, and if so, should I do anything special with it like prune it down? Or is the pot it's in getting too small on the inside and causing this strange behavior? Help!
How do I bring my mini rose bush back to life?
Don't do anything. Just cut back the dead wood, water it, and leave it 'til next spring and see what comes up.
You will be amazed at just how hardy roses are - they do not require anything like the 'mother hen' attention that they often get - most end up being mothered to death.
Reply:My daughter sent me one as a Mothers day gift, and I planted it outside, now it is beautiful. It just did ot do well pot bound.l
Reply:Roses look dead during the winter. Put it in a place where the roots will not freeze. You can even put it under an old rug or blanket. Next spring when the nights are in the high 60's, bring it out into the sunshine and start watering it. Do not let the soil dry out. Mix time-released rose fertilizer into the top soil (follow the directions on the container for potted plants). During the summer, you can water it with rose liquid fertilizer if you wish, BE very sure to mix as directed on the container or it will burn your rose. Do this about every 7 to 14 days.
Reply:Your rose is probably root bound and needs to be in a larger pot or the ground. Just remember that if there is green then there is hope so don't give up on it yet. Prune it back to 3-4 inches and plant it in the ground where it can get full sun. Make sure you remove the old soil from the roots and gently spread them apart and trim away any brown or black roots leaving only the white and creamy colored roots. Dig a hole and pile a mound of soil in the center and spread the roots over the mound, but not in a circular pattern. Fill in the hole with soil and water well. Lay a thick layer of straw around the base of the rose to help insulate it from winter freezes. Once you rose is established this won't be necessary.
Good Luck

How long will a bare root rose last before I have to plant it?
I bought a bare root rose, and have not been able to plant it yet. We are still having some nights that freeze. I live in the high desert. How long can I wait before it dies. Also, it has started to grow, is that o.k.? Do I have to do anything to it before I plant it?
How long will a bare root rose last before I have to plant it?
It is real important that you keep the plant in a bucket of water to keep it hydrated. Keep the plant in a sheltered area like a garage that is not to warm. It is starting to grow and that is ok . If you can plant it soon and shelter it with one of those covers for roses ( looks like a flower pot turned upside down) and lotts of mulch for the roots it should do fine . When you plant it dig a hole and make a cone shape in bottom of hole spread out roots over cone add soil to just below bud union . mulch extra well and keep well watered until well established
Reply:Roses are pretty cold tolerant. Mine regularly go down to -5 C or 20 deg F. Areas close to me get down to much cooler temperatures and still grow them with no problem. (They are related to Blackberries so their tough.) My garden books tell me the modern roses have a lower temperature range of 0 to 10 deg F and the old fashioned roses even cooler.
You can't keep it in the original bag for too long, they are packed to keep going for only a matter of weeks eg enough moisture.
I would plant it in a pot (nurseries do it all the time), to keep it going and if your really worried you can bring it in overnight.
Let it establish it's self and plant it after a few weeks. If it's shooting I would definitely pot it up.
If it has been bagged with sawdust or potting mixture make sure you wash this off well before you plant. Check all the roots after the washing and cut any broken roots neatly at the break. Most important thing is to not let the roots dry out. Plant in pot or ground immediately at the same height as where soil at the growers has been, water well to exclude air bubbles etc. Check regularly to see it doesn't try out but don't water if it doesn't need it.
My roses grow to temperatures up to 110 deg F with a regular garden water,mulch, manure and not much more. Its hot and dry so I don't need to spray.

How can I press a dry, rose bud without damaging it?
I have some dry, full, rose buds which have an enormous sentimental value to me. I would like to press them somehow, without causing damage or losing petals. Is there any method I could use to make the bud moist and then be able to press it? Any ideas...Thanks!
How can I press a dry, rose bud without damaging it?
Pressing a DRY rosebud is just going to destroy it. I would suggest getting a container to put it in permanently. Alternatively, consider contacting a florist or floral designer to see what they would suggest about preserving it. Don't press a dry flower of any sort - you'll just end up with fragments.
Reply:If you press a DRY flower, you will get flower powder. You should have done the pressing when the flowers were alive. All you can do at this point is preserve them and put them in a dry vase.
Reply:I have had success by using wax paper. Put the rose between two sheets of wax paper and either put it in a press or under several heavy books.

How do a plant a second rose bush by using a bush that I already have? Do I get seeds from it?
Or do I cut off a certain part and plant it? I have a rose bush that I love and would like to make more from it, if possible. Or do I have to just go buy a new rosebush if I want another? I would like to grow my own.
How do a plant a second rose bush by using a bush that I already have? Do I get seeds from it?
Take about a 5" cutting,leave it in fresh water and it will form foots.When the roots cover the bottom of the glass transplant it to potting soil and keep it moist.
Reply:Take a long stem from it and bend it until you can bury it into the ground. Cover with soil and water. Sprinkle some RooTone on it to help it root faster. This works with almost all bushes.
Reply:Seed willnot come true. You can try to root ot as the other person mentions. However many roses are grafted. The top of the rose is genetically different from the botton. The top cultivar is grafted onto a rootstock. One it heals and starts to grow, the top is cut off the rootstock. This is because it is tough to breed for a pretty flower and a strong root system. It is worth a try.
FYI rootone is aeffective if it touches the plant, not on the soil. You may not even need it in this case.

How to take clippings from a rose bush in bloom?
My sister has a rose bush that i would love to have. Its in bloom right now and I would like to either transplant it to my house or at least take a clipping that is sure to root. Does anyone know how this is done?
How to take clippings from a rose bush in bloom?
Clip it below a 7 leaf joint and on an angle. Remove the flower and put the stem into the soil so that the bud next to the 7 leaves is just above the ground. Cover it with a glass jar. Water regularly. When the jar fills with leaves, the transplant is complete and you can remove the jar. It is extremely hard to grow a rose that way. It would be far better to find out what the variety is called and buy your own bush.
Reply:My mother was able to grow roses from clippings, but I have never been able to do it. I hope you can find the variety of rose you want. The most beautiful red roses are Christian Dior and Mr. Lincoln. Report It
Reply:my friend used to take a branch and put it in a bucket of dirt while it was still attached to the bush and let it root that way when the roots formed she would clip it worked for her

Help! I failed to cover my rose bushes during the last freeze. Are they a lost cause this year?
Help! I failed to cover my rose bushes during the very cold weather we had earlier this month. I cut all of the dead leaves/ branches also I've started feeding every week but have not seen any new shoots. Are they a lost cause this year?
Help! I failed to cover my rose bushes during the last freeze. Are they a lost cause this year?
they are not... mine have half dead leaves but the nursery said that roses will survive. give it time and make sure you use the Miracle Gro rose food. it helped mine a lot!
Reply:most roses are cold hardy to -10 degrees. give them time as it takes about 4 weeks of consistently warm temps for them to flush out new growth. they should be in bloom by the end of may depending n your zone. they are heavy feeders so use a rose fertilizer usually about every 6 weeks.
Reply:In my experience roses are a lot stronger than you would think. I have 10 of them in my front yard and I never cover them, even in the winter. In the spring i prune them back and they always grow back.

Has anyone ever made a snowglobe with a real rose?
Easter is coming up and I want to put a real rose inside a snowglobe for my gf. How to preserve the rose is my biggest bump, I'm going for the beauty and the beast concept. Any suggestions?
Has anyone ever made a snowglobe with a real rose?
You would have to make sure that it is super dried and then, it won't look as pretty. If it's not dried it will wilt. My suggestion, is to get a pretty good looking fake one, and use it.
Reply:If you want it to last forever and be totally cheap and easy...you'll want to use a fake rose...if your want to use a real rose...
Here are some ways to perserve real roses...Hope it helps:
Essentially there are four preservation methods: air-drying, moisture transfer, freeze-drying, and coating. All methods preserve the rose in one form or another and to varying degrees of permanence and retained fragrance.
Before you start:
Selecting the right rose is important. Choose roses after the blooms have dried of morning dew and irrigation. Select blooms a day or so before they are fully opened, and insure they are free of defects caused by insects or sprays. As the blooms dry, minor imperfections are magnified and make the dried blossom appear unsightly.
Remember that the dried blossom will not retain the same color as the living bloom. Select medium- or light-colored roses in the pink, red, yellow or orange tones. Dark reds, purples and mauves will dry very dark and sometimes turn black. White and blush pink roses will often turn dingy brown.
Insure the blooms are insect-free. Some insect eggs or larvae can survive the drying process, and will destroy your dried bloom in short order. Do not spray the rose with pesticides after the bloom is chosen, however. The surfactants used in the pesticide may cause the bloom to spot or brown during the drying process. Two techniques for "debugging" the bloom are 1) dipping the rose in a mild soap and water solution, then hanging it upside down to dry of surface moisture, or 2) lightly dusting the rose with silica aerogel or diatomaceous earth that has been laced with pyrethrin, then gently shaking out the excess dust. Yet another technique is to kill them with heat and mothball vapors.
Air-drying:
By far, this preservation method is the easiest and involves the least amount of special equipment. All that is required is your rose, some florist wire or a recycled twist-tie, a paper clip and a dry, dark closet.
Once you have selected your roses, remove the lower leaves and bind a few of the stems together with the florist wire. It is important to keep the blossoms from touching each other; otherwise, they will dry unevenly and may discolor or misshapen where the petals touch.
Open the paper clip so that it makes a small s-hook. Slip one end under the binding wire and hang the other end on a coat hanger or length of stretched twine inside your closet. Hanging the roses upside down by their stems helps keep the blooms' shape during the drying process, which varies by temperature and humidity, usually taking from 5 to 10 days.
Using this method of drying preserves some of the rose's fragrance. It also preserves the stem which may or may not be used in arranging the dried roses for presentation or display.
Moisture transfer:
This drying technique involves the use of an absorbent which desiccates the rose by transferring the moisture from the petals to another medium. The most common medium for this method is silica aerogel, sold as "silica" in the crafts stores. Other drying agents include sand, cornmeal and borax. Using this method preserves the blossom more true to its original color and shape, but does not preserve much of the fragrance.
Prune away most of the stem, leaving a inch or so below the calyx. Choose a container which can be sealed and place an inch or so of silica in the container's bottom. Place the blossom upright and atop the silica layer. Gently separate the petals, positioning them to a desired final shape, and sprinkle additional silica around and in between each petal. Seal the container for 3 to 5 days, depending on the size of the bloom.
This method may require a bit of experimentation to determine how fast the bloom will dry. You can check the bloom periodically, but remember to recover it with the silica after each check.
A derivation of this technique is to use the silica in combination with a microwave oven. Instead of taking several days, the process can be reduced to a few minutes.
Freeze-drying:
Freeze-drying flowers is essentially a process of transferring (or "sublimating") the moisture from the rose to a container using a cold vacuum chamber. The process is slow and unless you plan on going into the business of freeze-drying flowers, it can be very expensive.
There are, however, special occasions where preserving your rose may be worth having someone do it for you. And, as you might expect, there are companies who specialize in this task. Check your phone directory's yellow pages for companies in your area that can perform this service for you. Or, if you are interested in purchasing roses or arrangements using someone else's roses, you can visit the internet for any number of services to assist you. After a quick search, two I found were Accents %26amp; Flowers and Flying B Bar Ranch. And, of course, bring your credit card.
Coating:
Still another method of preserving roses is dipping them in hot paraffin - a technique dating back at least to Victorian times. This process does not dry the rose, rather the process encapsulates it. Consequently, the rose usually lasts only 7 to 14 days. Still, the process can be fun and rewarding if you are trying to preserve blooms for a special holiday arrangement.
Regardless of the technique you employ for preserving your roses, a great deal of personal satisfaction can be gained by extending the bloom beyond its season and sharing it with family and friends.

What color of rose indicates a
love of or service to the
military or our country?
My uncle recently passed away and my family and I would like to plant a rose in his honor.
He was very dedicated to serving our country in it's time of need. He belonged to the military.
We were not sure if there was a color of rose that symbolized this. Any thoughts would be helpful. Thanks!
What color of rose indicates a
love of or service to the

Yellow.
Reply:i think yellow
Reply:Yellow is the color often used for remebering soldiers who are away. Haven't you ever heard the song lyric "Around her hair she tied a yellow ribbon"?
Reply:Red. The color of the blood shed for America, the color of love for our country, and a heck of a lot more manly than white and yellow.

What do you do when your rose bushes get frost bit?
I bought new rose bushes and planted them a few days later the weather turned cold, I think they were frost bit what do I do now? are they goners or will they come out of it and grow?
What do you do when your rose bushes get frost bit?
They'll be find. Continue regular care and have a bit of patience.
Roses are tough.
Reply:Roses, like any other perennial, can handle frost bite. Yes, it will burn off whatever leaves were already coming out, but it will continue to send out more. Those burnt leaves will not suddenly get healthy though. They're goners. You can go ahead and remove them if you want, others will follow.

Where can I buy a Confederate Rose plant?
The flower blooms white in the morning, pink in the afternoon and then almost red at the end of the day. It is more like a hibiscus than a rose.
Where can I buy a Confederate Rose plant?
It actually is a hibiscus-- Have a friend that showed me theirs-- the leaf was hibiscus and it wasn't blooming when I was there. I did a search and found it-- use google but you may need to narrow the search. The plant is a perennial in the South-I don't remember it's range tho.
good luck
Reply:We have one, but it was given to us. He has many of them and propagates them to give away. So if you know somebody that has one ask if they will give you a cutting. Read up on the method before you get the cutting though. I believe it has to be new growth with thickness of a pencil. I hope you can get one. They are very pretty. Our neighbor's is over 6 ft tall.

How can I keep my new rose bushes alive?
I recently planted two beautiful hybrid tea rose bushes. Prior to planting in the ground, they had beautiful blooms and healthy looking leaves. About a week after I planted it, the blooms started to wilt and fall off. The leaves are still green but they don't look as healthy. I used a systemic fertilizer/insecticide. Is it possible that these plants are not getting enough water? Too much water? Not enough sun? When I planted it, I am now remembering that I did not back fill the hole with water, I watered heavily afterword--could this have been my problem?
How can I keep my new rose bushes alive?
they could be taking root..go ahead and snip any buds off..this will allow the bush to concentrate on rooting and once the bush has taken root you should begin to see new growth and in no time at all you will start getting new blooms....use a fertilizer such as miracle gro or dried up cow patties can be put in the ground around them...water as needed but do not over water...also roses need full sun
mulch around the shrub but dont allow the mulch to cover the main part coming out of the ground..pull mulch back about 1 inch from base of plant
HAPPY GARDENING!!!!
Reply:manure
Reply:Roses need EARLY morning sun to help keep fungus down...if dew sits on the leaves long, you will get a nasty black spot infection, and powdery mildew will be a real problem. Sounds like your roses are in transplant shock. Keep ground damp, do not water leaves...soak from roots. Give them time, they are very hard to kill.
Reply:WATER lol
Reply:Roses need a lot of sun, so that could be your problem, but I'd ask what kind of fertilizer... I recommend an organic type (I'm having great success with fish emulsion 5-1-1, which you can get at Lowes). Many commercial fertilizers are too powerfull; if there are double digits anywhere in the formula (20-10-10, 10-20-30, etc), its too much.
Does your soil drain really well or not enough? If you have sandy soil, or its in a pot, you'll need to water very often. If you have clay-like, poor draining soil, you may be overwatering.

How do I get my Desert Rose plant to bloom?
One of my Desert Roses was started from a cutting and it used to bloom several times throughout the summer, but last summer it developed only a few blooms and they dropped off before opening. It's about 4-5 years old.
My Desert Rose started from seed has a nice caudex but has never bloomed. It's about 3 years old.
I'm reading different things about how often to fertilize, etc. What say you?
How do I get my Desert Rose plant to bloom?
well here's what I do.
when ever it blooms, and the rose starts to die you should snap off the rose. like there should be a little knot on the green part of the stem and you should break it off from there.
this helps the rose bush so that it can grow back twice as many roses as before. also you should add fertilizers to the soil around the plant. there are sertian fertilizers that are made spacificly for rose plants.
hope that helps you!
Reply:Fertilize every six months, water continuously, and make sure that you're misting. This assumes that you're dead-heading. Maybe you need to try a different type of plant food--I love miracle grow. Check with your local Rose Society, or go to americanrosesociety.org.

What do you put on rose bushes to keep the bottoms from turning brown and dying?
I have some beautiful rose bushes, but it seems different parts are always dying.
What do you put on rose bushes to keep the bottoms from turning brown and dying?
ONE SOLUTION WOULD BE TO TAKE CARE WHEN WATERING THEM. IF THEY STAY WET TOO LONG IN ANY KIND OF WEATHER THEY CAN GET FUNGUS OR MOLD AND START TO TURN BROWN AND POSSIBLY DIE EVENTUALLY. THAT IS TRUE FOR ANY KIND OF PLANT. YOUR ROSES MY BE IN AN AREA WHERE THE AIR DOESN'T CIRCULATE AS WELL. YOU COULD DO A TINY BIT OF LITTLE PRUNING TO HELP IMPROVE THAT. WHEN I WATER I JUST LAY THE HOSE DOWN ON THE GROUND TURN IT ON TO A TRICKLE AND LET IT SOAK. IT REALLY SAVES THE LEAVES. A LITTLE BUG SPRAY PROBABLY WOULDN'T HURT, THEY CAN BE PRETTY SNEAKY.

When is the best time to trim your rose bush?
i am new to rose bushes ,and i would like to know when is a good time,half my rose bush is dead and the other half aint.
When is the best time to trim your rose bush?
Usually it is best to trim in the spring just after new growth. However, since half of your rosebush is dead I would trim now. Trim out any old dead canes, seal off any large cuts with a drop of elmers glue or even clear nail polish so that insects and disease don't set in. Place new mulch at the base. Then fertilize your rosebush to encourage growth and bloom. Tip: A great rose fertilizer/food is banana peel. Just bury your banana peels under your roses.
Reply:Depends on where you live. Roses are pruned while they are dormant, here in central California I seem to do it around December or January. You don't trim it, you prune it and when you do you remove any dead wood while you're at it. There are some excellent books about how to prune correctly or there might be a class offered in your area to learn how to do it right, it really does matter.
Reply:now is probably a good time otherwise the other half will die too.
Reply:before they bloom early spring or fall after they are done blooming
Reply:Call your local garden center or the county extension agent affiliated with agricultural university (listed in the front of your phone book). As stated before, it is really important to prune the roses at the proper time.
I'm in Northern California, and there are always lots of free classes at different garden centers (Lowe's, Home Depot, Capitol Nursery, etc.) in January. The appropriate time to prune roses here in Sacramento is between New Year's Day and Valentine's Day.
Reply:You can prune roses anytime up until you are in danger of a freeze within one month. A freeze on freshly pruned roses can cause dead rot and disease. If you want to promote a bushy growth for next year, prune now. If you are happy with the shape of your bush, wait until Spring to prune, or if you have a late bloomer, wait until after bloom.
Reply:No they other 1/2 will not die get some Miracle grow for roses and use it I use the crystal feed you apply it around the base of the plant and water repete every 2 weeks than do a complete prune back after the first frost I grow show roses that is all my front yard is

Where can i buy black rose bulbs online?
I looked on google, but i cant find a place with black rose bulbs. help please!
Where can i buy black rose bulbs online?
There are numerous black plants to choose from to add drama in your black garden: deep purple to black tulips (Black Parrot or Queen of the Night), black mondo grass, black hollyhock (Alcea rosea Nigra), and Colocasia ‘Black Magic’ (a black variety of elephant ears).
Ralph Moore has bred a miniature rose called Black Jade – near black buds mature into elegant dark red blossoms.
Roses that are so deeply red they can appear black include varieties like 'Black Magic', 'Black Beauty', 'Black Baccara' %26amp; 'Nigrette'. Try the English Rose 'Tradescant' for scent and color. However remember roses alter their color depending on your soil and sun exposure. 'Raven' is the closest to the perfect dark red I have grown.
Some other dark, nearly black plants to consider include iris (Dark Vader, Superstition), pansies (Bowles Black), dahlias (Arabian Night), columbine (Black Barlow), and daylilies (Starling, Black Jack), Black Sweet William, Dianthus barbatus (Nigracans), Black Peony Poppy, Papaver somniferum, and Black Coneflower, Rudbeckia occidentalis

Reply:Roses don't grow from bulbs. They are shrubs. Actually there is no such thing as a black rose since the blue color gene needed to create such a dark rose does not exist in roses.
Closest you could get would be a deep crimson or red.
There are tulips that are considered "black", not as Gothic as the mystical black rose, but maybe would fill the bill.

Q.: Where can I buy a blue rose? Or a black rose?
A.: In short - you can't, because there is no such thing. A true blue rose has been the "holy grail" of rose breeders for hundreds of years, however roses simply do not have the genes to produce a blue colour. You may have seen photos of a "blue" rose on the Internet - these are forgeries.
We may see a genetically modified rose in years to come (Suntory in Japan is working on this) but as of this date there have been no breakthroughs. The roses with "Blue" in their names are wishful thinking - they are mostly a pale lavender colour. Similarly for black roses, there are very dark reds, and dark purples, and some red varieties have petals that burn to black in the sun, but there are no true blacks.
Reply:My friend has black roses - not natural, but here's how she does it.
Grow a white rose, something like an Iceberg. Then she waters it with water containing Indian Ink, which gets taken up by the plant, and produced a black rose. I must warn you it gets taken up by all the surrounding plants too, and isn't very eco-friendly, as well as not making a perfectly black coloration, but here and there you get the perfect black.
Best of luck!

How do you preserve a rose?
I have a single rose from my grandmother's funeral bouquet and I would like to preserve it the best that I can. It is nearly a week old now and it is in "fair" condition. What can I do?
How do you preserve a rose?
When I save roses I usually leave them out of water (usually standing upright) and just let them dry out, all the ones that I have saved kept their shape ... after the dried out I sprayed them with hairspray to help keep them from crumbling ... they get very delicate ...
also want to say sorry to hear about your loss
Reply:to tell you the truth i really do not know
Reply:two ways, you can dry it upside down in the sun and it will dry on it's own. Upside down so it doesn't bend at the stem and flower part.
OR you can dehydrate it with silica - found at craft stores like Michael's, JoAnn's Fabrics, etc. I know for sure Michael's carries it and almost sure JoAnn's does, got to the bridal section (where the fake flowers are) I think that's where I saw it. :)
Reply:After a week, I'm sorry to say, you will not be able to preserve it in a full flower shape. The best thing for you to do is to press it. Once you have it pressed, you should attach it to a bookmark, that you seal between two sheets of archival clear plastic sheets. These products are available in craft stores. Do a web search for further information on pressed flowers. Do it NOW, before the flower deteriorates any further.... I'm sorry for your loss. Grandmother's are always special.

Rose in winter, how to take care of rose in private room?
I just bought a small rose-pot (i dont know which kind of rose it is, the flowers are pinky yellow and quite small) and put that pot in my private room on the bookshelf (I live in dorm). Winter is coming so please advise me how to take care of roses in room? there is no sunlight in winter here but instead of that my room is always kept in warmth. I have never planted roses before so what to do? Now i am growing my roses in special soil for rose (which i purchased in supermarket) but please show me some good tips for my roses? Manure? Water? Lamp light? Thank you.
Rose in winter, how to take care of rose in private room?
your roses will go dormant in winter. they need to be pruned. in spring it is time to feed them. roses are not meant to grow inside. maybe you could put them outside for some fresh air and sunshine a couple of days a week. good luck

How long will this rose that i got bloom?
I have just bought a rose bush, its falled Fame!, and it says Grandiflora rose on the container. Its unlike one i ever bought, it grows 1 and half meters tall, and it has long stems, which is probably could for cutting. it has big, open pink flowers with about 30-36 petals. I have 3 stems all conected to root , and on the tip of each stem is the flower. I know that most roses bloom all summer (or most of the summer), but will this one? I'm afriad that after the blooms fall off it will just be a green shrub. is that the way it will be? ps, i live in ontario canada, zone 4/5. it might be a hybrid tea rose, It looks similar to this, but they are not identicle http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Chrys... . Tx in adance.
How long will this rose that i got bloom?
Hi, Your Grandiflora should bloom all summer,and bloom for many years if properly cared for. To promote new growth and new buds, after your flowers have bloomed ,trim them off. You cut at a 45% aAngle above a Five Leafed Leaf, that's where the buds form. Feed Rose and flower food in the spring,summer,and fall .In fall cut any dead wood out and branches that cross each other in the middle. Cut about one third back(I sometimes cut mine back to 2/3 or one foot off the bud union) And seal any branches that are bigger than a pencil with white glue or sealing compound. You need to pack yours for winter with straw, or hay. My bushes are now thirty years old and the main branches are bigger than my arms. Maybe that's where they get rosewood? Anyway ,my one Grandiflora has over three dozen flowers on it at all times! It's a big bush and is called Paradise. Bye
Reply:ok they will bloom all year round till frost if you prune them right
ok stop pruning them mid fall and then start again in spring after hard frosts have past.. you prune them like you would any other tea hybrid 3 leaflets down, cut at a 45 degree angle,at an outward facing bud..if the roses grow into themselves it gets poor air circ. and starts chafing..and more prone to diseases..cut the angle away from the leaflet though.
If you prune when the blooms fade, it will prompt the rose to rebloom. Pls feel free to contact me with any more questions you might have.. we love Roses so we are happy to share our knowledge!

How long will this rose that i got bloom?
Hi, Your Grandiflora should bloom all summer,and bloom for many years if properly cared for. To promote new growth and new buds, after your flowers have bloomed ,trim them off. You cut at a 45% aAngle above a Five Leafed Leaf, that's where the buds form. Feed Rose and flower food in the spring,summer,and fall .In fall cut any dead wood out and branches that cross each other in the middle.

How can I save my rose petals?
i probably have over 40 English rose plants on my backyard that has been producing tons of flowers for several months now. it seems to be such a waste to just throw away the spent blooms.
does anyone have any ideas on constructive things i can do w/ the petals? maybe make perfume? how do i get started doing that?
i don't want to use any toxic chemicals. thank you.
How can I save my rose petals?
You can make rose tea. Or tincture - place dried rose petals in a glass jar and cover with twice its volume of a clear grain alcohol (vodka is the standard) leave for two weeks, strain through a filter, bottle in amber dropper bottles, date and label.
Reply:Other than drying the flowers by hanging them upside-down for a while and then making dried floral arrangements or crafts from them, you can contact a local florist and explain your situation to them. Some florals use dried flowers for arrangements and would be willing to buy them from you. That way you could make a lil on the side cash from your beautiful flower garden.
Reply:I like to keep them in glass/crystal jars, bowls etc. Just as decorations, they dry nicely.
Reply:While the roses are still buds, cut the stem to about 8or 10 inches. Tie several together and hang upside down in your kitchen til they are dry. Makes a start for dry flower arrangement. Don't hang in the window.
Reply:I'd only bother with the highly scented cultivars, as the scent evaporates with time.
You can make rosewater, effleurage, or distill your own oil (warning, all of these things take tremendous amounts of petals,
preferably NOT taken from spent flowers), or you can make rose beads from the petals. Or there's always potpourri
Some of the SCA web sites have very nice instructions on making rosewater, etc, and I know there are sites that talk about making beads from petals, which was also a medieval craft that had quite a resurgence in Victorian times.
Reply:If you have a gf/bf, i suggest you do something romantic like invate he/she to your house with a tral of rose petals from the door to your bed. Cover your bed in rose petals also, and you know what to do from there.

How can i preserve a rose bud?
I need to be able to preserve a rose bud in a way that the preservation will last for years? Maybe months if it comes down to it? Help its a little urgent!
How can i preserve a rose bud?
The American Rose Society has a good article about preserving roses--I don't know anyone personally who's tried this, though.
http://www.ars.org/About_Roses/preservin...
Reply:Go to a local craft store and ask. I know there is a specific kind of gel crystals that you can set the rose in then microwave (sounds nuts i know) that will almost crystalize the rose in a natural still alive state.
Hanging, drying, or pressing the flower can make it brittle and easiely distroyed....You need something that will keep the moiture locked inside...think sealed.
While hair spray might be a good idea....the alchohol in the spray will dry the rose, and it will flake.
Reply:hang it up side down
Reply:I actually dipped some roses in wax and they lasted for years, even the color. You can hang them upside down in a closet, even the baby's breath or you can buy some kind preservation powder from the craft store.
Reply:Use hair spray
Reply:I have used clear fingernail polish and it worked, too. The best way , though is to visit your local craft store. They have all kinds of applications in a variety of price ranges.
Reply:Put a aspirin in the vase. Or put it in the bible.

How do you make a rose or flower out of a dollar bill?
A friend of mine showed me a rose that was given to him that was made out of a dollar bill, could use any other bills but this one was from a dollar. It even had the stem (short but it was a stem) and a leaf. Could have been made using more than one bill, but he said that he watched it being made and they only used one bill.He has no clue has to how they did it, he said that they did it pretty fast. But he was drinking and playing pool at the time, so I'm sure that time just got away from him.

What can i substitute for rose wine in a simple wine making recipe?
in line with my daughter's wine making project, the recipe of a citrus wine requires a rose wine, unfortunately, i cannot find one in our place or nearby city. can anyone please suggest a more common substitute that will fit in the recipe?
What can i substitute for rose wine in a simple wine making recipe?
I'm not sure if you are looking for a real rose or a blush. Most common and a very easy to find blush is white zinfandel. This is an extremely popular wine for folks who don't actually like wine. It is sweet and light. Roses on the other hand are hard to find in most places because they are generally not produced in large quantities in their country of origin, and therefore not very well known in this country. You could make your own rose style wine by mixing a small quantity of red with a white.

How do you make frosted rose petals?
What I did was coat pink rose petals in egg whites, covered them with preserving sugar(it was all I had besides brown sugar) and put them on a plate and covered them. Is this right??
How do you make frosted rose petals?
Brush the clean petals with whisked egg white, (not too thickly), then sprinkle with caster sugar, brush off excess sugar with a dry brush, and allow to dry naturally, but not in the sun, or you will cook the egg white. Don't use prerserving or granulated sugar, the crystals are too big, and the petals will come out looking very lumpy.
Preserving sugar is for making jam or preserves.
Reply:I have no written source, but I make and decorate celebration cakes, and have sometimes used this frosting method on flowers, ie primroses, violets, various others. I hope all turns out well for you, and don't forget, as long as the flower/petals don't grow from a bulb, you can eat them too. Report It
Reply:http://www.baking911.com/decorating/flow...
Reply:All but the part where you covered them. They need to be out in the open air for the egg white to dry.
Reply:Don't cover them, and don't freeze them. They need to dry in the air and if you freeze them, clumps of sugar will fall off as the defrost.
Reply:I don't know what preserving sugar is, I generally use superfine sugar. Also, generally I brush the egg whites on with a small painters brush. But yes, your method is correct.
Reply:put them in the freezer

How can I strengthen my rose stems?
I have a rose bush that looks great except the blooms wilt. Can anyone suggest help?
How can I strengthen my rose stems?
The bloom itself doesnt last that long. If the stems are thin and week and bend, make sure that you prune back the stems after the bloom wilts to below the first 3-leaf or lower to leave only thick strong stem. You don't need long stems, just strong ones that will produce more blooms.
Reply:tie them to a cane

How long will this rose that i got bloom?
I have just bought a rose bush, its falled Fame!, and it says Grandiflora rose on the container. Its unlike one i ever bought, it grows 1 and half meters tall, and it has long stems, which is probably could for cutting. it has big, open pink flowers with about 30-36 petals. I have 3 stems all conected to root , and on the tip of each stem is the flower. I know that most roses bloom all summer (or most of the summer), but will this one? I'm afriad that after the blooms fall off it will just be a green shrub. is that the way it will be? ps, i live in ontario canada, zone 4/5. it might be a hybrid tea rose, It looks similar to this, but they are not identicle http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Chrys... .

How to properly move a rose plant bush to new location? How to dig it up?
My Mamma has a rose bush my brother gave her %26amp; planted right before he died. She is moving to a condo, how do I replant it without killing it?
How to properly move a rose plant bush to new location? How to dig it up?
Drat, the best time to move something is when it is dormant. Doing so now is a lot more risky. First have a big wide container handy.......wider than a big bucket. The wrap the stems together with soft twine or old panty hose. I'd also cut the canes back to around 18 inches. Dig a wide hole and carefully lift the root ball into the wide container. The soil should be moist, not wet and if you could wrap it before you pulled it up, say with burlap or sheet, that would help. Place in container and add more soil around the edges to keep it from rocking back and forth.......and get it to it's new home ASAP. That is get it planted immediately. Also erect some shade over the top, not total but some. You've lost roots which take in water but the plant still needs water. By reducing sun the evaporation rate is lessened.
Realize when leaves are on the plant it is most vulnerable. You will be cutting off a lot of roots, damaging others. It's iffy at best.

I want to buy a rose bush called, "Rainbows End,". Why is it really yellow in some pics though and really pink
in others? It's a bi-colored rose.Is it like a Hydrangea where it will vary according to my soil or is it's color established already...in which case I'll beg the distributor over the phone 2 send me a "Yellower" one and cross my fingers that they care!Also it's in the climber category so does that mean I have to make a trellis or will it crawl on the ground?

Trellises are a necessity for climbers. Here are some examples of trellised "Rainbow's End" See below
The materials you use to trellis plants will depend on your budget, how much work you wish to do, and available.
spacehttp://www.sactorose.org/gardens/82ville... Beautiful variety climber!
Reply:If it's a climber, it'll need some support. I don't know this particular cultivar, but some possibilities for color differences include photographic reproduction issues, age of flower (often bicolors go redder as they age).
The 'Rainbow's End' I found with google is, however, a miniature rose, not a climber, 16-24" tall and wide.
Reply:You may not be seeing the actual rose. If you buy tomatoes, it's very common to see one picture for every variety out there. And, photography isn't what it used to be. Some colors are hard to capture. And, in processing, they have to alter the tone so that greens are green and reds red. This means unusual colors don't really get justice. Even on slide film.

Can you grow a small rose bush indoors?
I have a small rose bush that my mom bought for me from the grocery store. I had it indoors and it almost completely died. I then planted it in a larger pot and put it outdoors on my porch and it has done wonderful since. Now that winter is coming I'll have to bring it back in or it will die. Does anyone have any useful tips for keeping it alive indoors?
Can you grow a small rose bush indoors?
Sure. Give it a nice South window location. Be sure to aerate it (poke holes in the dirt) if it begins to dry out too much between waterings. Water after aerating (screwdriver, pencil, scissors are good ;hole making tools) Never let it have wet feet (sit in water) mild solution of fertilizer now and then (half strength) It might even enjoy a trip to the shower on occasion to rinse house dust off of its leaves. good luck
Reply:If you been growing the rose out side make sure when you bring it in that you watch for mites..a lot of yellow of the leaves or spotting of the leaves and treat it if you find that happening. Also make sure you uses a very good potting soil and a nice sunny spot and you should have blooms in the winter!! Don't forget to feed the rose also!
Reply:Yes, you can grow a small rose bush in side your home. Just give it plenty of sunlight, love, and care.
Reply:Leave it outdoors unless you have extreme winters. Rose brushes will
survive mild winters ( light, short freezes ) If you expect a hard freeze, bring
it in for the night(s). And don't forget, before next spring, transplant into a container one size bigger
Reply:Given the right conditions, you could keep it indoors.
As long as its got good drainage (not over watered) and a steady source of light and heat, like a small lamp. Otherwise it will be fine out in the cold, since it will hibernate during the winter.
If you keep it indoors I suppose you will want it to be a source of green during the winter months.
cheers!!

Yellow Roses indicate joy, gladness, friendship and "I Care"
Yellow Rose with Red Tip indicates friendship falling in Love
http://www.my.homewithgod.com/inspiratio...
**************************************...
white Loyalty, penetrating and platonic love. Able to captivate secret thought, love stronger than death. In England there is a saying about the white rose referring to the sub rosa, death to him who under my secrecy betrays his oath. In Scotland when the white rose bloomed in autumn it was seen as a token of early marriage. The rose of confession, the bridal rose, the rose of servitude. Can be otherworldly.
pink Grace, gentility, elegance and refinement. The rose of sweet thoughts.
purple Purple adds enchantment. Can be transcendental. Possible need to proceed cautiously. The priests wear lavender during lent, a time of discretion. Purple can indicate opulence or majesty.
orange A warm color that says, I am proud of you.
blue Fantasy and impossibility. Hoping for a miracle and new possibilities. Many people have a quest or a fascination for blue roses. I have a book by Ibn al Awam, which was written in the twelfth century, translated into French by J. J. Clement entitled Le livre de l'agriculture. the book speaks of azure blue roses that were known to the orient. These blue roses were attained by placing a blue die into the bark of the roots. This process is explained in the book and has been proven to work by Joret, a very knowledgeable french scientist.
black The color of the crone, the wise lady of death. The promise that soon you will know something you did not know before. Some see it as a bad omen. Death of fixed thoughts or ideas. Signifies a rejuvenation on the horizon. May not be understood as a gift. Les fleurs du mal from which beauty springs. Sometimes a beautiful deep red rose will bloom from a blackened bud.

History and Meaning of Yellow Roses
http://www.proflowers.com/flowerguide/ro...
Primary Significance: Friendship, Joy, Get Well
Yellow roses have a shorter, albeit no less fascinating, history than other roses. It wasn't until around the 18th century that yellow roses were discovered growing naturally in parts of the Middle East. Prior to this, roses in cultivation predominantly existed in various shades of pink and to a lesser extent, white. However, once the first yellow roses were introduced, their popularity quickly spread.

yellow In Victorian times the rose meant jealousy. Maybe our thoughts have changed. Today it is given as a sign of friendship, sometimes as a sign of sympathy. It is the rose of familiar love and domestic happiness. The yellow rose of Texas is the only rose for me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
YELLOW shows "I care"; friendship, joy, gladness or freedom.

Yellow Roses indicate joy, gladness, friendship and "I Care"
Yellow Rose with Red Tip indicates friendship falling in Love

**************************************...
white Loyalty, penetrating and platonic love. Able to captivate secret thought, love stronger than death. In England there is a saying about the white rose referring to the sub rosa, death to him who under my secrecy betrays his oath. In Scotland when the white rose bloomed in autumn it was seen as a token of early marriage. The rose of confession, the bridal rose, the rose of servitude. Can be otherworldly.
pink Grace, gentility, elegance and refinement. The rose of sweet thoughts.
purple Purple adds enchantment. Can be transcendental. Possible need to proceed cautiously. The priests wear lavender during lent, a time of discretion. Purple can indicate opulence or majesty.
orange A warm color that says, I am proud of you.
blue Fantasy and impossibility. Hoping for a miracle and new possibilities. Many people have a quest or a fascination for blue roses. I have a book by Ibn al Awam, which was written in the twelfth century, translated into French by J. J. Clement entitled Le livre de l'agriculture. the book speaks of azure blue roses that were known to the orient. These blue roses were attained by placing a blue die into the bark of the roots. This process is explained in the book and has been proven to work by Joret, a very knowledgeable french scientist.
black The color of the crone, the wise lady of death. The promise that soon you will know something you did not know before. Some see it as a bad omen. Death of fixed thoughts or ideas. Signifies a rejuvenation on the horizon. May not be understood as a gift. Les fleurs du mal from which beauty springs. Sometimes a beautiful deep red rose will bloom from a blackened bud.

History and Meaning of Yellow Roses
http://www.proflowers.com/flowerguide/ro...
Primary Significance: Friendship, Joy, Get Well
Yellow roses have a shorter, albeit no less fascinating, history than other roses. It wasn't until around the 18th century that yellow roses were discovered growing naturally in parts of the Middle East. Prior to this, roses in cultivation predominantly existed in various shades of pink and to a lesser extent, white. However, once the first yellow roses were introduced, their popularity quickly spread.

How far down do rose bushes roots go?
I'm wanting to put in a rose bush in a corner garden I have in my front yard. However, here is my delima. The water main to our house is about 6 feet under my garden. Should this be a problem or do I not worry about it? That one spot is the only place I can think to put it. Thanks so much.
How far down do rose bushes roots go?
I wouldn't worry about it. The 'tap' root of the rose does go down quite deep, but in all my years of experience I've never had a customer have the problem of rose roots damaging any kind of plumbing pipes.
Reply:Roses usually have one deep tap root and the rest are quite flexible and shallow. Even the tap root should have no problem growing around the pipe - I've never known rose roots to invade or destroy any plumbing system.
Reply:Its not a concern. Most rose roots rarely go down further than 2-3 feet.

How come my yellow rose bush is now blooming red roses?
I have a yellow rose bush in my yard. For two years it grew yellow roses. The year after that when it bloomed, it grew red roses. It has been blooming red roses ever since. What happened to it?
How come my yellow rose bush is now blooming red roses?
you sure you dont have a bush called "josephs coat"? it will grow roses with different colors in them. i had some years ago and they started out yellow but changed over the years till it died.

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.?
I don't know why someone would say to plant them deeply. All you are doing is suffocating the plant. Shrubs and trees should be planted slightly higher than the root ball. It is much better to plant to high than to deep. Dig up the plant raise it up and next year it will do better.
Reply:Hi:
Rose of Sharon requires some sun but can take part shade. Plant at ground level. Did you put any mushroom compost in it when you planted it? This is an organic fertilizer that will last up to a year. It doesn't smell great but your tree will love it.
If you are not getting any growth to a tree there could be a couple of issue.
1. Your soil needs something added to it such as lime, or other nutrients. You can always get your soil tested at most county offices or extensions. It usually takes about two weeks to get the result back.
2. Have you kept on a regular watering schedule.
3. You can fertilize twice a year with a slow six month nitrogen release fertilizer. This can be done in spring and fall.
4. Check to see if the branches are healthy. Take your finger nail and scratch the surface. If it is green it is healthy. If it is brown then it is in shock. Add the fertilizer either way.
Make sure if you have mulch or pine staw around the base that it is not piled up too high.
I hope this has helped some and browse through my site map and see if you can get any other tips that might help you out. I will also direct you to a page on planting a tree.
Good luck to you and have a great day!

Reply:Somebody once told me to spend a penny on the plant and a pound on the hole. This is so true. If your soil is right then anything will grow. The top of the rootball should be level with the surface of the soil. I have hypericum (rose of sharon) in light shade and it grows very well. Is your soil dry? If you have planted near to a mature tree / shrub or near a hedge your soil in that area could be short of water. I always dig in quite alot of compost when I do any planting in the garden as I find it really improves the structure of the soil.
Reply:Planting depth has nothing to do with growth rate. As long as the root ball was planted at the same level as the ground then it was properly planted. Too deep and your plants will rot. Too shallow and the roots can become exposed and it could fall over in a strong wind. Your problem is probably in the soil or the amount of sun it gets. It could be that your soil is weak and needs to be amended with compost and your plants need fertilized during their growing season. It could be that they are not getting enough sun. Rose of Sharon need at the very least 4-6 hours of direct sun. They can take some shade, but prefer sun.
Good Luck

What does seeing a beautiful red rose floating through my room mean?
Upon awakeing during the night, not a dream, I see this beautiful red rose floating across my room and disappearing.
This happens quite often during the year.
I look away to make sure it is not in my head and I don't see it I then look back and there it is floating out of the room.

Interesting....it sounds positive...it sounds happy, strong feminine note...yet you say that you aren't asleep when you see this? It could be an hallucination, as you are just waking up, but the way you describe it sounds more like a ghost making itself known. Perhaps you should try looking up the history of the house, and anything you might find out about previous occupants. I don't have alot of personal experience with ghosts, myself, but not all stories that I have heard about them have been spooky, sometimes they make thier presence known in pleasant, if puzzling ways....perhaps you should also think over members of your family who have passed on, and see if you can think of someone who loved roses, or who was named Rose, or wore rose perfume, and it could possibly be a family member who passed over who wants you to know they are watching over you....you could try writing down the dates when you see the roses, and see if they coincide with family holidays, or with something good happening in the family such as a special occasion or some such (or also if this manifestation coincides with times you are troubled, or ill or something)...I don't know what your religious afiliation is, but the rose is associated with several Goddess figures, and also the Christian Virgin Mary, it could be a message of a more spiritual nature as well...this is very intriguing, and I hope you find an answer...
Edit: Based on the additional details you sent in email, it sounds like a symbol of your mom's love for you as she prays to the Virgin Mary. This was apparently a lifelong habit of hers to pray on your behalf, that seems to have continued now that she has passed over....a very lovely way for your mom, or the virgin to let you know she is there...

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

How can I relocate a climbing rose in november ?
My friend is having a conservatory built onto the house in December. There is a rose (climber about 12' tall) growing where conservatory will go. As rose was planted by his elderly mother, he would like to save it, and grow it elsewhere. Take cuttings ? Any suggestions please ? Thanks HJ.
How can I relocate a climbing rose in november ?
By all means take cuttings and use a good `rooting powder` before planting them. You need to prune the bush back really hard. Prune it down to about three feet, then dig up the root keeping as much of the original root soil as possible. Before you place it in a pre dug hole, water the `hole` profusely and put some rooting `food` in. After planting, stamp the soil down really well and re-water. It sounds drastic to cut it back this way, but it will do the plant a favour and it will grow even stronger stems for next year.If we get a frost or very cold weather, try and protect it by wrapping newspaper and polythene around it, until the worst of the cold weather is over.

Reply:Its a good time of the year to move. Dig it up %26amp; move it as long as there is no frost . Bury it lower than the graft . Good luck!
Reply:1.. Cutings won't work. The rose will have been grafted onto special rootstock and the cutting will not be true to type (you will end up with a wild rose).
2. Roses were traditioinally planted in the winter on with bare roots. Cut the plant right back, dig it up and re-plant it (keeping as much soil as you can on the roots). Mulch the plant well and make sure over the next few months that it is secure in the ground (after a windy spell) and that it is not waterlogged.
Reply:Cut it back %26amp; use the best cutting %26amp; start the in the green house, then dig up the rest %26amp; try to relocate it %26amp; hopefuly u'll get both to grow. Always have a back up.
Reply:This is a good time of year to move it. First trim it back, then take it up retaining a lot of soil. Move it where you want it and water it well for a few weeks. It should be fine next spring.
Reply:This is a fine time to move it. I would also take cuttings just to ensure you have the rose for good. It is beginning to be the dormant season for roses, so it is safe to move it without disruption. You do not want to move it while in full flower. In fact, the best tie is before bud break in the srping and while it is defoliated, (no or few leaves) if you can before the ground gets too hard. If your garden is still soft and plantable now; it is a great time to do it. Casa Hiedra above, has great advice.
How can I relocate a climbing rose in november ?
By all means take cuttings and use a good `rooting powder` before planting them. You need to prune the bush back really hard. Prune it down to about three feet, then dig up the root keeping as much of the original root soil as possible.
