Roses & Stuff #3 (2015)
Comments (168)Looks really good, Jim. How do you make your home-made compost? I make mine in the shade, just dump stuff on the ground ... it's NOT stinky. I'm going to get all the leaves I can this fall from the neighbors. Chicago Botanical Gardens' roses are ridiculously healthy, they use leaf-compost. When I took that soil-chemistry test, it stated the highest content of leaves is made out of carbon. Carbon (brown stuff) is good for the compost pile, a bit of nitrogen (green stuff) is good to speed up the decomposition. My most-blooms were when I used EarthGro Organic humus & manure ($1.26 for a 40 lb. bag from Walmart) to winter-protect, and in the spring there's zillions of buds ... way better than chicken manure. Here's a review on Walmart website for EarthGro bagged Humus & manure: 5.0 stars 4/1/2012 by oklahomagirl1989 "I made a flowerbed last year and planted 2 tiny roses into it...the flowerbed consisted of nothing BUT Humus and Manure Mix from Wal Mart.....my Roses have exploded with blooms during last years brutally hot summer when everything else died.....and since then, they have at least quadruplet in size....I couldn't be more happier about this product, in fact, I recommend it to all of my customers, since I work in the Garden Center and I always get asked about which soil is the best. Right now we are sold out of it and I am a bit upset myself because I want to buy lots more of it.....I would recommend this product to ANYONE at ALL TIMES!!!!! Here are the buds on Sweet Promise in spring when I winter-protected with EarthGro humus & manure (sold at HomeDepot and Walmart). Yay to the power of humus !! More spring buds on Francis Blaise when I used bagged humus & manure to winter-protect. Well-rotted horse manure is good too, but it's a real pain to scoop that into my car. I didn't winter-protect last year, since my kid's 6th-grade gifted-program was stressful for me. Growing healthy roses is easier than feeding a picky kid. I put money in her lunch-account, but she refuses to buy lunch from school, so I pack her lunch everyday. How do you pack lunch for a kid who doesn't like cheese, and is allergic to peanuts? Any ideas? Thanks....See MoreJersey Shore Rose Society (JSRS) Rose Show, September 19, 2015
Comments (3)As always, a pleasure. (Hard work, long day, but a pleasure :-) With some of the JSRS members prodding me, maybe next year I'll even enter an arrangement ... IF I can figure out the "styles". I almost did it this year, but feel "style" illiterate....See MoreRoses & Stuff #10 (2015)
Comments (79)Very good planning, Jim. I get burnt out answering those questions in other threads .. your thread is more enjoyable (honestly happy with just a few stable friends). Sure, I learn too when I answer those questions, but I'm done with that, and I just want to relax. Although Prairie Harvest can take acid, I pushed it too much by putting more gypsum (calcium sulfate) and sulfate of potash (21%) .. and it got 2 leaves of blackspots in this humid & rainy weather. I forgot that Prairie Harvest gave me 2 blooms, plus 3 buds .. it secreted plenty of acid in doing so, time for something alkaline. I'm going to put Prairie Harvest into my alkaline clay. I messed up that pot with so many experiments ... I have to undo the damage. In contrast, Cloude de Soupert and Reve'd Or. are dark-green and going-nuts with pea-gravel, plus 100% healthy. The above experiment is to prove that having acidic pH doesn't help, it's SUPPLYING BALANCED NUTRIENTS that matter. I'm more relaxed on growing roses to do crazy experiments, and I don't care if they lose all leaves, as long as I learn something. I used to be so upset last year when my kid didn't get straight A's, now I don't care if she has a B. Life is about learning, and doing a better job the next time. If we don't make mistakes, we learn zero in life. There are so many myths in rose-world: phosphorus for bloom, Epsom salt, roses need it slightly acidic, and roses need spraying & nitrogen fertilizer. I honestly would be better off just ignore everything they say, and just the basics: fluffy soil & organic fertilizer. Jim, time for a new thread....See MoreRoses & Stuff #16 ( Fall 2015)
Comments (52)Pretty Saint Sacrament Sam! The rose structure is quite different from the moderns. THIS MORNING: mystery red rose (thoroughly soaked) Touch of Class pink peace easy does it upside down (is it really just going to be short stems since it's a floribunda) should have decent color next week or two most just finished blooming I convince myself that I like the natural look but I think it's mostly that I'm lazy, don't have time and afraid of pruning them to be ugly....See More

8 years agolast modified: 8 years agoAfter seeing all your beautiful H roses, Beth my one H rose doesn't seem very exciting. Love your Helmut Schmidt, used to have that one, it bloomed a lot, too tender in my zone. High Hopes Cl. and Honey Bouquet are both gorgeous, Helen Naude, Heart O' Gold and High Esteem are lovely too. I've been resisting the stripes, but your Hypnotized is tempting me.
My H rose is:
HEIRLOOM
Ingrida

I'm really liking your Hamburger Deern, too. Sara Ann, you Heirloom is lovely. That's one I've considered growing for years, but never have...afraid it would have issues with bs here, but may have to try it anyway :)
I only have two:
Hot Cocoa
Heart O'Gold

8 years agoI'm loving Mossy's Heathcliff and Pat's Hot Cocoa with its golden friend (wonderful combination)!
And I like Beth's stripeys!
Sharlene--look at the ruffled edges of Heinz Winkler! Love 'em.
Sara--no need to apologize for having only one "H" when it happens to be the gorgeous Heirloom!
I haven't got much to offer under "H," but here goes.
Home Run--short border along property line out front.
Happy Child--don't actually have one anymore, but I like to remember back when I did have her. Lovely "happy" rose.
