Water. Try not to skip a day, it is too hot there and the roots are not long enough yet to survive any drying out. The rose is still in "transplant shock" and will need time to get used to its new home and to settle in. Many people do remove the buds on newly planted own-root roses. First, they leave on one bud to allow it to bloom and to make sure that is it the correct rose. If you are OK that ir is Belinda's Dream then you can skip this part. They then remove all new buds until the plant gets to be more robust. Some folks do this for the entire first growing season in the ground. I do it until I feel confident that the rose is growing strongly. Much of the guidance for planting is really meant for grafted roses and colder zones. With own-root roses I usually plant them so that the entire root structure and a little of the canes above it are buried. Don't prune it, it is young and needs its leaves. I wouldn't do any pruning until next spring (when the forsythia is in bloom is the usual guide). When pruning before transplanting, that is usually referring to moving established roses with a large rootball. When moving new potted plants into the ground, I don't prune anything back. Fertilizing: organic or organic-based fertilizers work very well. There might be a product that is similar to Mills Mix that you can find in a smaller container that would do your roses just fine. Alfalfa (meal or pellets) is excellent for plants. I would say a weak solution of fish emulsion would be OK now, but the most important need for your plant is water. Fertilizing can wait. And from here I'll leave it to the all-organic folks for more recommendations for you.

Imagine that. Saved by SPAM. This is just what I needed today. Lost back/forward buttons, toolbars, the whole mess. * Posted by mikie (My Page) on Wed, Sep 8, 10 at 8:55 Looking at my IE8. . I have no menu's .. that's the way I like it.. press ALT and it shows up. The setting for that is View / Toolbars ... then some checkmarks next to what you want showing. Perhaps look in there. Thanks, Mikie. Alt got them back and View/toolbars fixed the rest.

Phyllis is absolutely correct regarding F11. It will extend the browser window, and return it to normal. As far as I know it is generic on all browsers. Right now on FF I am viewing this site page with no other exposure. By moving the cursor to the top of the screen the basic Toolbar and Address Bar drop down for use, then disappear again. Every user should try it on all their browsers to see the potential benefit of using F11. Trying it will not hurt anything. DA

I'm so happy you like the color! Thank you. Unfortunately, i don't have an answer for you. I got my can of touch-up by taking a little piece of the wall (a piece was cut out to put in an outlet) to Miller Paint. They did the little wiz-bang-boom color match thing, and that's what came up. They filled a can with the match. Admittedly, when this home was built, i was completely ignorant about the different character and quality to paint (if only i were a GardenWeb member then!). I'm guessing the builder cut corners and used an inexpensive paint, since they did cut many corners in other ways. I know that's no help at all. But thank you for the compliment. It's so nice to hear.
