Please tell me about Ambridge Rose, Carding Mill, Lichfield Angel
Comments (4)I've only had Carding Mill for a few months (bought as a 5-gallon plant at a local nursery) and so far it seems like a winner. I see no sign of octopus arms, it blooms a lot, is very fragrant and has beautiful apricot blooms. I have it in a very hot position (and it's been 95+ degrees the last few days) and the foliage looks great although of course the blooms are a little lighter and don't last as long. I really think this rose is going to be a keeper. Ingrid...See MoreTell me about your running bamboo in Z5!
Comments (24)Hi Bonitapplebum, I live in western Cleveland Ohio zone5 b and I have P.aureosulcata yellow groove bamboo. I dont have a barrier but I do prune the unwanted rhizome by digging around and finding the runner and pull up the runner like a zipper and replace in the direction I want it to go or cutting it and dumping the unwanted in the garbage. ( my neighbors dont get bamboo.) I dont have a problem that I know of. I started my small groove 3 years ago. I doesnt get too tall here yet and there is some die back but so far hasn't died. This year it was very cold and a lot of snow so I dont know yet if it has died. I know someone near me that has the same bamboo and they have a healthy sized groove with there culms are over 15 ft high and they come back after some whitening with winter die back. I'm going over there next week to ask how they prune. You can email later to ask what I have found out. I say go for it but prune back like Inversa said on (RE: OK, so root pruning is really hard and not that effective?).. An even easier way is to build a raised bed framed with timbers or stone, or just a mound of soil for the bed and you see most of the rhizomes peeking out the sides and you can snip them off, a few will get past but keep your eyes open. if a shoot comes up where you don't want bamboo then get rid of that section of rhizome. I think I would like to try that sounds like a good idea! Mzkrista...See Moretell me about your running bamboo in Z5!
Comments (3)Only have personal info on Zone 6. My dad planted running bamboo in 1965 on a rock ledge. Exposed boulder on one side, a stone wall and more exposed ledge fifteen feet away on the other. Not more than 18 inches of topsoil. Took a few years for it to get going (it receives almost no sun with 60 foot trees around it and being on the north side of the house) but over the decades it has run down the ledge and 200 feet along the wall. It would go further but a stream stops it. Nice 40 and 50 foot tall culms which need heavy thinning every 4 or 5 years. Very handy stuff to have around for garden stakes, tomato cages etc. Not really a problem as all you do to stop it from growing in the lawn is mow right over the shoots as them emerge or cut them to eat. Become a prized possesion and one of the nicest things on a lot which is unsuitable for growing much of anything but moss and a few herbs. Unfortunately I have no idea what variety he planted. I know he got the most cold hardy he could find at the time Back then some people (including his own family) thought he was crazy to grow bamboo in New England. Wasn't much around or common knowledge that some varieties take temps down to zero or below....See MorePlease tell me about the Moser House roses.
Comments (2)http://www.heritagerosefoundation.org/#!article---moser-house-shed-rose/c1dk6} We took a trip to Calaveras County last spring and visited the Moser House after being invited there by the owner. The current owner is trying to re-claim the property which was overgrown and neglected. The owner was excited to learn about the roses and is trying to prune them and maintain them. There are quite a few roses planted around the home. Some more modern than others. Many probably original and others planted over a 30-40 year period. I am not sure which rose the Moser House HP is....See Moreseil zone 6b MI
