Tamarix...tamarisk...never really pruned. Some advice?
Comments (17)find the PROPER latin name.. no guessing.. and google invasiveness and its relations.. since the first latin name is different than smoke bush.. they are not closely related.. or it would be the same .. i have had it in adrian MI for 13 years.. and have NEVER seen a seedlings.. let alone a seed pod...but i cant say i looked for one .....i dont know how it could be invasive in MI .... and somehow or another.. i have some vague recollection it or its kin were native in MI .. but i have to serve dinner.. not research that for you ... mmmm .. meatloaf... ken...See Moretamarix amur
Comments (2)Hello Yes, it is a noxious weed here in the west (I live in Colorado). It's hard to imagine that something so pretty could be noxious, but it invades stream bottoms and uses huge anmounts of water, also releases salts into the soils.. botanists and ranchers I know hate it and threaten to pull it out if I plant it. I have grown it at several homes (CO, ID, NV) and it has always done well. I tried to order it through Bluestone and couldn't - it gave me a message that it could not be shipped to my state. Oh, well. Enjoy. Julia...See MoreAnyone Grow Lillian Gibson?
Comments (6)If you only knew how hard I tried to find a place to buy this rose! Bailey's had a good stock of them, but they're a wholesaler only and I couldn't convince any local nurseries to step up to the Bailey minimum order to get one. I finally got two plants from North Creek Farm. I've had them 2 years and they are not mature yet, but of course your growing conditions and mine are quite different. I don't know how it will fare for you in Texas, but the reasons I had for wanting LG so much is that Suzy Verrier touted it as a very hardy, disease resistant and tall rose with a lovely salmon color - and fragrance. Once bloomer or not, cane hardy climbers are hard to come by up here. What I know further about LG is that it was bred in the Midwest at the Minnesota Agricultural Experimental Station in the early 1930's. Its seed parent was Rosa blanda, also called the Labrador Rose, and the pollen parent was Red Star, a red Hybrid Tea that was bred in the 1920's. It is purportedly hardy to zone 3 - let us know how it likes your heat!...See MoreAnother rose id question please, beautiful pink cascading roses
Comments (21)Well, I don't know. I looked at both those roses on Help Me Find and I guess it could be. Maybe there was something about the way this GW member grew this rose or pruned it that gave it a little different look to it. And the color of the rose on the arbor seems a little coral to me, but that could just be the camera or the light. Thanks for the help. :-)...See MoreMystery_Gardener
