New to gardening - sad sad inherited rose
Comments (6)I couldn't get the link to work either. How tall is the rose? Is it compact and bushy, or gangly? You might want to go to Help Me Find, and click on Search, and type in "Dr. Huey", and see if it looks like your rose. I say that because neglected red roses often turn out to be that rose - it was/is used as rootstock, and sometimes the top rose dies and up comes Dr. Huey from the roots. If so, it is a once blooming climber, and I have seen lovely plants of it - it seems to do better on the East Coast than out here. What ever it is, if a neglected rose were mine here's what I would do: Cut off all of the dead canes. Cut it back to shape it if it needs it - don't take off anymore than 1/3rd of the bush. Mulch it - at least 2 inches of mulch all around it, but not touching the canes in the middle. Water it well. Find out what folks do in your area to winter protect their roses - I have no idea about that, as we hardly ever get even frost here. In the Spring, when it starts to put out new growth, feed it - just get any rose food (without anything else in it like poisons - just food), and follow the instructions. Then you should get more flowers in the Spring, and you can see if you want to keep it. Take pictures of the Spring bloom, and post them here, and someone will be able to tell you what/who it is.

Comments (2)These European Salvias thrive in poor soil, and are pretty well drought-resistant. They enjoy full sun, but feeding them is not really recommended. Wishing you success!...See MoreRe-check the 'New Grandchild is coming thread - sad news

Comments (12)iris - do you mean just the glass? I think you have to get the whole frame it's in also. maybe not change out the opening framing tho. I'm sure something even from HD/Lowe's would be better than what was originally installed in the mfg home (think builder's grade in development homes). tho, yrs and yrs ago the x and I changed sliding door into a series of paneled glass windows (floor to ceiling like the patio doors) and 1 regulation door. loved that change! I may even do that eventually in my future 'new' mfg home - I noticed that the patio door frame seems ... bent. will find out after it's moved here and leveled. "A couple other simple changes that made a big impact were changing all dated door and cupboard hardware and ceiling lights." lol! I showed my sister a pic from my future home with one of those cheap glass hanging 'lamps' with shiny gold trim and I said 'that will be going' - and she said 'why?' ... duh. it'll be outa there asap! I love cheap in price... I just don't want it to look cheap. I was very happy to see that all rooms except kitchen and baths had ceiling fans and lights! that would have really added up to wire for those and put them in! I do need to figure out what to change one of those rectangular florescent lights boxes with tho... got one of those in the kitchen. It'll have to go eventually also. I have 2 here in the kitchen -but this place was always to be temporary anyway... it just stretched into 11 yrs... hard to believe I've lived like this for 11 yrs!...See MoreMary E
