I'm picking the wrong OGR's???
Comments (11)Tina, Great rose list. My Cl Soupert is balling now, though she never did before. It has taken some time to build to a good bloomer. According to John Starnes, nematodes love sandy soil and you can get good control over them by enriching your soil regularly. Manure, oak leaves, mushroom compost, wood chips, kitty litter. I am very pleased with Carnation. That rose just keeps blooming for me. I say give it some time. (Thanks, Denise) FWIW, many of my roses are balling. I think it is because we had those rainy fronts come through. I am delaying judgement until father into the year. Veronica...See Morewhat are said about planting my new ogrs
Comments (2)If it were me, I would mix in a touch of black kow into the planting hole and mulch well. I would not put fertilizer in or on them. I would let the plants establish themselves before using fertilizer. Also, if it were me, I would work on adding organic matter to the beds and let the plant work off of that. Just my 2 cents! Good luck and have fun~ jenn...See MoreAre these Gardenias? If yes, what is wrong with them?
Comments (3)Used coffee grounds will do nothing about supplying iron!! I also can't confirm if those are gardenias - too far away and without sufficient detail - but gardenias prefer an acidic pH, some afternoon shade and a rich, consistently moist soil. You could try a dose of Holly Tone to see if that improves appearance (less yellow/darker green leaves) but that is just an assumption if they are indeed gardenias....See MoreMay 2020 The OGR’s the Modern Roses and a bit of everything else.
Comments (121)Lisa, you have so many truly gorgeous pictures of your roses, but somehow the photo I wanted to see the most, of you and your daughter (and her precious baby bump) is missing. I'd love it if you could please post it again. The purple clematis and penstemon with the pink roses is wonderful. All your clematis plants are gorgeous. They add a lot to the roses, a perfect contrast. The flowers for the baby shower are also lovely, and I'm so glad you were able to have the shower. Even if done somewhat differently it's the love that counts, always....See Morerosefolly
