Caring for a 'Rescued' Rose from Lowe's Clearance Rack
Comments (7)katortott, if you do decide to repot it eventually, try to follow karls advice on not disturbing the rootball when taking the rose out of it's pot. Here is something that'll help. It worked great for me Posted by karl_bapst_rosenut 5a, NW Indiana (rosenut@rosenut.com) on Mon, Jun 29, 09 at 14:37 If the soil was lost, the feeder roots were lost also. The small white roots you saw were anchor roots. Feeder roots are tiny and almost invisible that fall away with the soil. To plant a potted bush without losing the soil cut the bottom off the pot with a razor knife, but first dig the hole making it half again as wide as the pot. Cut up opposite sides of the pot half way. Secure the cut sides with masking tape wrapped around the pot. Finish cutting the pot the rest of the way to the top, then secure it with masking tape wrapped around the top. You'll end up with a pot cut into three pieces but held together with masking tape. You can also use rubber bands or string to secure the two pot halves. Pick up the pot holding the cut bottom in place to make sure the bush and soil don't fall out the bottom. Place the pot in the hole and slide the bottom out from under the pot. Pull soil in around the pot to just below the lower piece of masking tape. Cut the tape on both sides. Continue pulling soil in until just the top tape is exposed. cut that tape on both sides. Pull the two pot sides straight up. (The soil pulled in around the pot will hold the root ball together.) Finish filling the hole and water to fill in any voids. If done properly, the bush will not know it's been moved and should continue to grow normally. Keep it watered well until it shows signs of growth, then water as you normally would. If done correctly, it'll experience no planting stress. You should water the potted plant well before you transplant to help keep the soil together, not so important if planted as directed above. I'd get them transplanted as soon as possible to allow plenty of time for the roots to grow into the surrounding soil and get well established before winter. For plants in thick vinyl pots that won't cut easily with a razor knife, I use a saber saw or Dremel rotary saw to cut away the bottom and up the sides....See MoreMost recent seedling blooms
Comments (5)I am a lurker here trying to get with it regarding newer daylilies. I have to jump in and say these are gorgeous seedlings. #1 has a perfect balance of apricot & rose to my eye. And the antique mauve-looking one with a pinched throat (?) in photo 7 on the right - yummy for my cottage garden style. And the richness of wine purple in #9 reminds me of the Emmerich photos I've seen. Wow!...See MoreThird times a charm?? Please look at our most recent layout plan
Comments (12)Great point about the powder room's distance from the mudhall. My powder room is a direct shot across from the mudhall and I have never regretted that. I don't know where you live, but "snowday emergencies" or for that matter outdoor/garage work etc. "emergencies" might be something to consider. It looks like you could easily open this powder room plan up to the mudhall just by changing the door to the mudhall side so it might be a good thing to consider. Also, I didn't see your original posts, but could you move the fridge to the pantry area and then move the message center next to the fridge? This could cut down on the amount of activity concentrated in that area. Don't know if the message center means desk, but this might be a good placement--over near fridge-- for a desk area because it would be more open to the family room. You could then have your pantry area in the present fridge/message center area. Another option might be to split that area and use some of it for a pantry and some of it oriented toward the mudhall depending on how/if you change that room. Just took another look at your overall plan and am wondering if that wall between the breakfast area and family room is solid? If so, and if you need it for support, could you do a half wall/ column combination or some sort of stand alone column there to open it up more to the family room?...See MoreA few of my most recent blooms
Comments (12)Thank you everyone! My potted roses are the ones that are blooming so much, they set on one flush after the other. There are a few exceptions with my roses, which are planted in the ground, my Beverly and Orchid Romance have bloomed almost non-stop all season, Liebeszauber hasn't bloomed much lately, but has bloomed a lot this season. The blooms for most of my other roses in the ground has been somewhat sporadic, but the majority look healthy. Hopefully, some of them will bloom good in September and October. I like it when the temps aren't so hot, the blooms begin to be lovelier. I cut this arrangement last evening. The varieties include about six Pink Peace blooms, Sheila's Perfume, Marijke Koopman, Bewitched, Bride's Dream, Neptune, Belinda's Dream and in the center a fragrant Julia Child bloom. The Pink Peace blooms are on Fortuniana and Dr. Huey, the remainder are either on Dr. Huey for Multiflora and all of them are grown in pots. I was somewhat disappointed a few weeks ago, because both my Firefighter and Chrysler Imperial were loaded with blooms, but it was during most of our hottest weather, the blooms didn't amount to much. Hopefully, they will be blooming again soon!...See Moreingrid_vc so. CA zone 9
