mini rose... what kind of mini is this???
Comments (4)I didn't know what "hannaford" was, but coincidentally, it was mentioned in an article in yesterday's NY Times about supermarkets. The mini is probably one hybridized by Poulsen Rosen, from the Poulsen Parade series of miniature roses. The plants were grown indoors, in greenhouses. They are own root. Although typically sold as "throw away gift" plants, they can (and should) be grown outdoors....See MoreMy old mini rose isn't such a mini any more!
Comments (4)I think mine was either best friends or rainbows End. The tag even said do not over fertilize it will get large. And it did . It was about 5 ft tall and just covered in beautiful orange and yellow blooms....See MoreDid I mess up my roses w/ the bougainvillea leaves and wood (mulch)
Comments (0)Completely new to gardening. I had a bunch of bougainvillea leaves and wood that I been broken down for days/years. I added it around my rose as a mulch, and mixing it up into the soil because that area was hard clay. Should i not have done that? It's a small area and i can easily dig it away, but wanted to check before doing so. Also, what would be good for cracked clay soil? I'm thinking bark mulch, but the nursery recommends compost and gypsum. This is a bit too expensive for me right now....See MoreMini rose bush / powdery mildew?
Comments (9)I sometimes try to throw the cornmeal under that plant but it all lands in one clump. Organic fertilizer hates being in a clump, so when you drop it down through the middle of the plant there is a Plinko effect which randomizes the droppage through the leaves. Cornmeal is one of the ingredients in many organic fertilizers. When the beneficial microbes in the soil decompose it, in about 3 weeks the end result is plant food. That is why organic fertilizer is said to be slow release. Actually it is slow decomp followed by very fast uptake by the plants....See MoreSoFL Rose z10
