I've been waiting for this rose to bloom and lucked out today.
Nice fragrance. Used my hand for scale.
What are the "rules" for taking a cutting from a cemetery?
I really don't know who to ask.
It's remote from any church.

Comments (10)Organic Soil? Did you mean to say organic Gardner? Organic soil is an oxymoron per se. In other words it is man made by taking native soil that you already have and adding organic matter to it. Improve your native soil by adding organic matter ("om") to gain two important benefits: more water retention and better drainage. Use animal manures for their combination of om and nutrients, along with at least one other om, such as compost, ground bark, leaf mold or peat moss. Read your fertilizer labels and apply the recommended amount to your garden area. Use a rule of thumb for adding organic matter: 3 inches of native soil can usually incorporate 4 to 6 inches of combined manure, compost and so on. Add an inch of sharp sand to the mix and lime if needed, then till the elements in together. Be sure no distinct layers remain after tilling.

Comments (40)I was just going to add Mendon's Nursery in Paradise on the list but then I saw that Kate had beat me to it. I live in Paradise and most of the plants I have planted have come from Mendons. I am very sorry Kate's first impression wasn't a very good one. There are many many people who work there and most are quite knowledgable. Maybe it was just the heat of the day. By the way, they have a great sale every October with all plants being 40% off. That is how I am able to afford all my landscaping....See MoreNORTHERN California Roll Call !!!!!
Comments (174)viper75, I see you are doing avocados in Livermore. Those hardier Mexican varieties should easily survive your winters, as some of your other fruit trees and shrubs are not even that hardy. Mexicola tolerates at least 20f, which is like a once in a lifetime cold snap. The bigger challenge is the soil and heat. Also, if your cherries are not prolific, then that's a good sign that you microclimate isn't getting a ton of chill hours, which would bode well for the avos. When I was growing up in Walnut Creek, we had tons of cherries and stone fruit, benefiting somewhat from a dry creek bed behind our property that would funnel in cold air in the winter. After my parents moved to a property less than a mile away with some elevation, they had almost no frost anymore, and the stone fruit and cherries don't produce like they did at the other property. However, they can grow more tender things much better. Sounds like you might be in a similar spot which is probably pretty good all-around for a lot of different types of plants. Would love to see some pictures of your subtropical fruit trees....See MoreTrip to California
Comments (32)There are also a number of festivals that may coincide with your travels along the coast. These two come to mind: http://gilroygarlicfestival.com/ http://centralcoastoysterfestival.com/ The Exploratorium in SF is in a new location now and I haven't been there but the old place was great. I imagine the new space is even better. http://www.exploratorium.edu/ There is always something to do/see at Golden Gate Park. http://www.golden-gate-park.com/ On the Peninsula below SF is Filoli Mansion in Woodside. Beautiful gardens and mansion. http://www.filoli.org/ Here is a link that might be useful: List of food related festivals in CA.

6 years agoIf this is the same place, it looks like it belongs to the church, you might call and ask them, I bet they would be charmed if you told them what rose it is, etc. mine suckers some, so you might take off the dead wood and see if she has a little sucker you could lift. Some coffee grounds mulch might be appreciated as well ; )
Cheers. Claire
