Comments (61)This is a very old post but I want to correct the misinformation in the last post. Spring flowering bulbs will, and need to, start rooting as soon as you plant them. It makes no sense to say that they don't grow roots until February. Some will already be flowering by then. You plant them in the Autumn because there is still residual warmth in the ground which gets them started. If that were not the case you'd be planting them in the Spring. They cannot 'winter over the first year' if they don't have roots. They'd just rot. If you dig up a well established daffodil in September you'll see that it is already growing roots. 4 of Bud's plants were spring bloomers, one was a summer bloomer and one wasn't a bulb at all. It's also not true that 'everyone needs to dig up and divide at least every 3 years.' You can divide them if they need it. But it is not a hard and fast rule....See MoreMy dog rose of the year, plus 3 favs
Comments (45)cjrosaphile, I was looking at OOTN just yesterday--I've been planning to shovel prune it, but of course now it's covered with buds that look like they might open. I'm trying to decide if I should give it just one more year. I hate it when they turn beautiful just when you're ready to give them the axe! If yours looks this bad too, maybe they just don't like the PNW & I should go ahead and make room for someone else. I gave Golden Buddha away, and I haven't been sorry at all. Looking at the pictures on HMF, it looks like it's just an orange rose. There's a photo of a 4-year-old mature plant---lots of blooms, but plain and orange. If that's what you're looking for, great, but it didn't work for me. I am loving Louisa Stone. She was just planted this spring, so she's not even established. She still has blooms--a little haggard looking since she has gotten practically no water in the past 2 months of record high temperatures, but the plant looks healthy and shows no sign of disease. It'll be interesting to see how she gets thru the winter. I've put in a couple other Harkness roses (Jacqueline DuPre & International Herald Tribune) and have more on order--Harkness looks like a breeder whose roses do well in my yard. I have a bunch more roses coming in the next couple of weeks (had to hit that Ashdown final sale), so anybody that's borderline might get the axe when I find out just how much I've over-bought for the space I have! Another reason to buy more roses--it pushes you to get rid of those that don't really work. Maybe I should get just a couple more......See MoreShow Off Your Breck's Roses
Comments (65)Those are all very lovely. Out of my nineteen I bought six of them are dying and I will have empty pots when I pull them out. A plant nursery in town is putting their own root roses on sale tomorrow for $15 each so since I have 6 empty pots you know I must go check it out. I really wanted Grand Dame and Bella Roma and those are the two that are dying. They have both of those in stock so I must go get them don't you think?...See MoreMichigan Bulb, $7.49 Roses
Comments (25)In my case things turned out fine. Even sticky survived and Tequila Supreme is one of my favorite roses. I would not want to order anything right now in this weather. Be sure to call them to specify when you would like delivery. In my case I place an order in Dec. I think. Went to grab the mail one day in Feb. and there was a tiny box sitting in the snow. Yes, it was the roses a full two and a half months to early. I mean who on earth would send rose plants to Illinois in February!...See Moresummersrhythm_z6a
