John F Kennedy - Why shovel prune?
Comments (29)Although Ann is usually right about everything, "high-shouldered" means having a short neck and leaves close to the flower. Ex.: "The deep pink rosette blossoms [of Rose de Rescht] are set closely against the medium green foliage, which frames each rose perfectly to give the impression of a leafy collar or what is known as a 'high shouldered' look." http://www.pswdistrict.org/text/articles/romnov04.html Ramblin', if you apply any general fertilizer according to label directions and don't overlap another major nitrogen feed, you shouldn't have any problem with too much N. Fertilizer directions are always based on what is a generous but not excessive amount of N. Just memorize the expression NPK for the order of nutrients in the labelled analysis. Excess of nitrate produces short stems and unnaturally dark green foliage, but JFK tends to have naturally dark green foliage....See MoreLast, but not least: Time for white roses

Comments (8)Zack, when you say 'compost', what kind do you mean? I have seen some that holds water like mud....The kind you make yourself or dehydrated manure which tends to stay wet a lot? Do they even sell compost that would fit the bill that I could amend both areas tomorrow? They are still both almost dormant, not leafing out yet....I'm guessing I should use peat, maybe perlite, the yard soil and compost? Funny, we don't get enough rain any more in summers, always in drought in which I have to hand water, yet it seems it still has to drain well.. As you can tell, it's my first time growing any rose since the only one I had since last year, and that one did not fare well..Thank you...See MoreShare your WHITE Roses
Comments (13)vaporvac--about Green Ice and Gourmet Popcorn-- Both are quite self-sufficient roses. I rarely do much to care for them, and they continue on doing their own thing anyway. Both are quite BS resistant. Green Ice is a sprawling mini. I have it growing periodically in the front row. Gourmet Popcorn is a survivor--I've moved it several times and it goes right back to blooming. Right now it is growing too close to a bigger and taller rose, but GP is still doing fine--just growing quite vertically. Don't know if she would spread out more if she had more space. Like I said, I like lots of whites tucked in here and there around the beds--livens them up, colorwise. Green Ice and Gourmet Popcorn are good for that--but if you prefer picking roses for bouquets, they wouldn't be much help there. I don't love either one--but they are good practical roses to fill out the design of your gardens. Hope that helps. Kate...See Morezack_lau z6 CT ARS Consulting Rosarian
