Round-up is sudden death for roses.... or any type of weed-killer...... either dig-dig-dig and get those roots up out of there, or do like I do, take some roofing shingles and lay on the weed and suffocate it.... leave it there for several weeks, and if you can't stand the look of the shingles just throw a bit of mulch on them..... sally

Sofl- here ya go ! https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003ZZQLYG/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1527633632&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=come+into+the+garden+sign&dpPl=1&dpID=51hG-9bFMxL&ref=plSrch It's metal and has looked brand new for 3 plus years. Glad you like it !!! moses , you are always so kind ! Gardening is my only hobby and I'm super fortunate that my husband works all day 5 days a week and my daughter naps 3 hours a day so I have extra time ! I'm trying to get it all into maintenance mode so her and I can do some fun things more often. Do you believe it's almost time for early preschool ? So I need to spend more quality time with her and less "games " out of digging holes ! Lol also even though I'm in my early thirties I have been gardening since I was 19 in my tiny house shared with my now husband. Boy the mistakes I made! And money wasted .. but I do think the Lord has blessed me with the love of gardens and all the learning that comes with it ! Ps Moses.. I ordered those amazing pruners you spoke of (okatsune ?) and they are incredible!! Are you liking yours ? i have seen his clematis in nursery and they are nice! I don't have any yet as I prefer the type 3 viticellas that take over the world . I'm sure I'll add some soon on smaller obelisk though ! Thank you ray gun !! I hope to see photos of your garden soon!!

Your roses, flowers garden structures, and garden beds are extraordinary. Your videography is extraordinary. I will point out for others that I lived in Tallahassee 40-years ago. It is a challenging area in which to grow roses because of the high risk of fungal diseases which makes Hoang's results truly impressive, and greatly appreciated from this distance.

Gorgeous garden, Hoang although I can see why you might be disappointed for maybe a bit less bloom compared to what you had last year, which was mind-blowing. I think everyone around here will have issues this year due to the late frost. I am not sure what happens if the plants loses small buds to frost early on. I guess the plant tries again but it doesn't seem to have as much breath/energy the second time so even if the bush grows back back nice and strong, that first flush is not what it could have been without the early frost. Right now my bushes look like huge healthy salad (I fertilized and sprayed) and not that many buds. I anticipate significantly less bloom than last year. Not sure if this is due to the early frost or because the fertilizer caused the bush to grow more leaves and less buds. Hard to nail it just right.
