Rose Identification Workshop in Sacramento
Comments (9)What a great idea for a workshop topic! I would love to come but know already that I can't unfortunately. I have at least 2 unidentified roses in my own garden right now and would love to learn how to give them their proper names. Is there any way to obtain the information that Cass will be giving at the workshop? Did/will she write an article about this topic or something like that? Or does someone know any other source of good information about identifying roses? Thanks for answering my questions in advance.

Comments (14)Well I did a little research and here's what I came up with: You're right, scotjute, it's too cold here for Deodor Cedar, Arizona Cypress, and Cedrus Libani. But the Western Yew, and Black Hills Spruce would grow just fine...in fact almost everyone already has one in their yard. Although most people cringe at the thought of actually planting a juniper...I rather like some of them, and will incorporate a few of them into my landscape. But again, they are so common here, everyone has one or ten. I definately like the Burr Oak idea...wish they didn't grow so slowly. And I think I'm going to go for the Western Red Cedar, too. A large, un-pruned boxwood might prove interesting...don't those things grow on the moon, also? Still undecided about a Weeping Ginko. Any input?...See MoreWANTED: wanted: 1-2ft eastern hemlock in nj area

Comments (6)Hi Kitnor, They are in 12 gallon containers which are very wide and shallow versus tall. George posted some of his research about a year ago and recommended we use squat pots for plumerias versus tall pots. I re pot pretty aggressively up to about this 12 gallon size. then slow it down from there. I'll probably root prune in 3 years and keep them in the same container for the next 4 or 5 years. Then they may go into 25 gallon container or seasonal in ground after that. K....See Moredaogirl - SoCal Zone 9
