Miniature Rose: Re-bloom possible?
Comments (1)Hi, I would say if you have kept it alive for a year you probably have a green thumb and a couple of green fingers. See the link on saving a potted gift rose, it is great. If possible I would plant it outside in the ground if not then use 4 pots. It probably needs more sun, better dirt, fertilizer, and more room. You could always try some different things if you separate the plants and see what works best for you. Good luck Here is a link that might be useful: How to save a potted gift rose...See Moreailing mini in indoor pot
Comments (5)Roses can go through what is called "transplant shock" when moved from pot to pot or pot to ground or ground to ground. They usually settle in within a week or two. The soil should be moist, not dry and not soaking wet. Remove any water that may be left standing in the saucer after you water the plant. Also, stick your finger down into the soil near the roots to make sure that the water is getting to the roots, and not just around the perimeter of the pot. Not knowing the conditions inside of your house, I can't tell you how often to water, you'll have to check the soil....See MoreMini roses...leaves turning yellow
Comments (4)I want to say that it is overwatering and to let them go without a watering for a couple to maybe even 7 days. However, I'm going by what happened to my regular roses planted in my garden the first year I planted them in '05 and I was on here in a panic! The bottom leaves yellowed and fell off within a day because I was giving too much water. I thought it was because I'd sprayed too much Neem oil spray mix on for blackspot. Right now my 4 are in a west window and they've gone from yellow, drying, and falling off or me pulling them off to the stems going limp from not enough water now. So I just watered them well today and we'll see what happens. However, I think I'll either re-pot them in a non fertilized soil or just plant them in the ground or a large planter when I get a chance. Good luck with your babies!...See MoreRescued minis fading fast
Comments (12)LOL, yikes! J&P lists it as 4ft as well. I called, but it was too late to change-and any other compact, scented roses were sold out.. I'm going for fragrance and have potted rosemary, lavender, and salvia. I think the 8a rating is deceptive in a way. Local gardeners give it a higher rating, and we have a short dormancy period in the winter depending on micro-climate, and a late-Jun to mid-Sept time where the heat will stop them in their tracks and they just pant. Unless, of course, you have a large garden with shade and breezes all afternoon. On a south facing balcony, its basically triage-but the beauty of it the rest of the year makes it worth it. Sun is brutal here, so full sun still requires some shade unless they are desert plants. I have a shade cloth awning, and slat railings, so it helps. According to local garden columns, we feed late Aug, then Feb-not too late, the new growth will fry. Well, I was thinking of a 4-6 foot shrub or tree of some kind for the SE corner of the balcony...if Peace thrives, I guess found it, lol, and I'll be searching the posts for pruning info, both branch and root ( already learned shovel)...or bonsai.....See Moreseil zone 6b MI
