Tree roses from J&P
Comments (7)Thanks for everyone's comments. Just wanted to provide an update: JP shipped the tree roses within two weeks. They were in great health! I was relieved. They are leafing out. I have plastic clear garbage bags over them, with a few holes poked through and I will poke more as I see more growth. I used wet sphagnum (sp?) moss and put them in the middle of the canes. Rosenut (Karl) recommended a sponge in the middle of the bush if I didn't have any moss. I had purchased a package of four from Target JUST for that purpose, but of course I couldn't locate them in my frenzy when I was potting up the roses. I looked everywhere! So I used leftover moss from a previous orchid purchase. I'll probably find those elusive sponges after the roses get established, of course....See MoreOld Fashioned Roses by J W Riley
Comments (2)They are very charming and I like the illustrations. However do you find all these books, Ann? I found this information on JW Riley. 1849Â1916, American poet, b. Greenfield, Ind., known as the Hoosier poet. He was at various times a traveling actor, a sign painter, and a newspaperman. Under the name "Benj. F. Johnson of Boone" he began to write verse in the Hoosier dialect for the Indianapolis Journal in 1875, selections first collected in "The Old SwimminÂ-Hole" and ÂLeven More Poems (1883). RileyÂs verse was popular because of its humor, pathos, simplicity, and sentimentality. Especially well-known are his childrenÂs poems such as "Little Orphant Annie" and "The Runaway Boy." Among the collections of his verse are Rhymes of Childhood (1890) and Knee Deep in June (1912). 1 See biography by M. Dickey (Youth, 1919; Maturity, 1922); study by P. Revell (1970).

Comments (9)Water them well now. Dig your holes so they will accomodate the pots, yet so that the soil lines are even, pot vs. outside soils. Wet the hole well. With a sharp knife, remove the bottom of the pot, set rose in the hole, and slit up the sides of the pot and remove. Back fill with soil and water. Keep them moist for a few days until they settle in. After your first frost, winterize, and hope for the best. Getting roses now is rather unusual. It is best, when ordering to specify you want them sent in the spring, like March, but not now....See MoreRoses "J"
Comments (15)I have Johann Strauss, but it arrived as a stick and remained one all last year. I was super disappointed. No pictures! I think where I went wrong was planting it in a 22" pot from a gallon pot. I recently repotted it in a reduced pot size hoping it'll rebound. Jude, the Obscure...See MoreBrittie - La Porte, TX 9a
