I have a bareroot rose from last year and I have it in front of a side fence to discourage anyone from hopping the fence to get in the back. Someone stepped on it late last fall and broke and bent canes off to the ground and within a few inches. I cut them off and with normal watering it came back this spring, growing off what I thought were dead canes and I didn't see anywhere it could start growing from again. I almost think it's going to be a better rose bush for it. I don't think a bent, damaged cane could sustain the weight roses would put on it. From what you're saying I don't believe the rose will regrow the damage done. I don't really understand where it's broke out but I think you'll have to prune it off and hope to spark new growth with some watering. I'd be putting some Vitamin B1 on it for stress. You might create a well around the rose and water it deeply before you go, maybe it would be enough if it's not too warm where you are. Roses are pretty tough, I've had various accidents with them and thought they'd be toast and they were fine.

oh lisa.. you ruined the surprise .. lol ... get the very expensive applicator at the link ... remove product.. and for the $1.79 .... you have our permission to throw it away ... fill with 100% round up or its cheaper generics [which is labeled as 41%] cut ANYTHING to ground level ... and apply a bead of 100% to the cambian layer.. which is the thin green line inside the bark.. before the whitish wood ... consider the wood inside the cambian.. to be dead .. do not waste RU on it ... the cambain.. loosely speaking.. is the vascular system of the plant.. and will move the killer down into the roots ... if per chance.. it resprouts .. cut sprouts.. and put one drop on each cut ... i will yell... THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WAFTING SPRAY ALL OVER THE NEIGHBORHOOD ... got that??? i would also recommend a good tree saw for about $15.. rather than lopping shears ... we could link you to such if you are interested ... again.. do NOT spray large bushes .. really now.. if you do it right.. 2 to 4 ounces of RU will do the whole yard .... if that ... its very minimal application.. and has nothing to do with ground water ... and forget about the neighbor.. you mention them too often.. inside a couple years.. your new garden of eden will have removed them from sight.. and mind .... and get rid of everything ... if you want a pussywillow .. when you are all done and ready to plant .. go buy a named variety.. of some worth.. rather than some hedgerow piece of carp.. that a bird planted a decade ago ... ken Here is a link that might be useful: its the applicator not the brand name

I have porcelain now, but had textured ceramic for 40 years prior. I have been using a daily product called "Clean Shower" (I think it is currently owned by Arm and Hammer) and have never had a problem (over the last probably 15 years) with soap scum dirt or hard water scale, mold or mildew. Google it to see now it works. Certainly worth a try and it won't hurt your tile or glass. -Babka

Why not raise the outlet to be up by the new switch location. Replace the BEP3 (3" base end panel) with a B9 or B12.....extend it down. Run your tile across and down to the floor/baseboard. If you don't like that idea, then put the outlet back between the window. What is the switch for? Drill an airswitch in to the countertop. You can use an airswitch for lots of things....not just a disposer. Another solution: Do an angled plugmold between the windows. Are you putting a wall cabinet back there? They will do one with a switch too. Or put the outlet and switch back....split it with him. I think he should eat it....but for $250...keep the peace.
