I am also including a link to a ginseng hunting forum where I have a picture of the roots... The post is titled: 'Question: Have I Found Ginseng???' ---third post down. I think you have to sign up to view messages though. Here is a link that might be useful: Ginseng Forum

New Dawn can cover 20 feet easily. It is one of the best roses and a good choice, but a very strong grower. Two newer climbers of merit are Laguna (pinkish red) and Papi Delbard (apricot-pink blend). Both are fragrant (esp. Laguna) and disease resistant, except if you have rust disease in your climate, I don't know how they do with that. I guess you could plant two climbers and train them mostly in opposite directions with some mingling at the center, or else just one New Dawn in the center. HelpMeFind.com has info, pictures, and vendors for all rose varieties in commerce. I'd be concerned about planting roses on the lot line. The neighbor might object to the thorns. If the light comes from your side, it will be easier to keep the roses mostly on your side.

Wow lots of interesting stuff here! I think there are multiple issues here, and, since the health of the plants isn't great, I would deal with all possible problems rather than hunt down one specific one. If it were me I would do the following, since doing them would fix any of the most likely problems that you may be having. I would change the mix to a free draining one. I would check the roots, and pot into a container that is only a little larger than the rootball. I would put them in a partially sunny position after the repot until they get used to their new mix and pot. I would then move to a sunny location once things started to settle. I would make sure the room had plenty of humidity with gravel trays or a humidity. I would make sure the room was warm, and provide bottom heat to the pots if possible. I would inspect for bugs. Mites and scale seem the most prolific - possibly mites in your case. Webbing is a telltale sign, and sometimes hard to spot, but not always present. I would treat with Toni's spray regardless (she can tell you the ingredients, or you can search previous posts.) If you do spot bugs, use Toni's spray or a suitable one for fruiting plants from a garden centre. I would water these (after the repot) only when the new medium was closer to dry than damp. In a new medium you won't have to worry so much over watering - if it is the right medium it is unlikely you will overwater unless you go nuts with it. Fertilize only very lightly until the tree is back to health, then feed with a high nitrogen feed every couple of weeks. Citrus bounce back, but they take time. These are not by any means the be all and end all of things you should do, they are merely what I personally would do :) Danny

Could be a fungus like Vladimir said, could also be an insect egg or just dirt on a bit of fluff. However, I'm more concerned with how dusty the leaves are. I may just be dust or it could be the beginnings of a spider mite infestation. It's a good idea to wash off the leaves from time to time, like maybe every 4-6 weeks. Take them outside and hose them off, or if that's not possible, put them in the shower and shower them off with cool water. Then let them drain well and put them back where they were. It helps prevent spider mites as they're attracted to dusty plants. And your plants love the rinsing off!
