Comments (26)Oldblush, YES! Almost everything rooted for me. In fact, I put some of the into the pictured garden. They should do quite well there. Thanks again for them. Yesterday I had my students "get to know" the roses. I prepared an activity which got them comparing the different classes of roses, evaluating fragrance, studying the moss roses, and finally collecting roses to be used for the attar extraction. The students were actively engaged, and seemed to enjoy the entire experience. It was really fun listening to them comment to their peers on the beauty and fragrance of the roses. For fun I had each group choose the rose they thought was most beautiful. Many of the students liked Reve d'Or best. Robert...See MoreAntique roses for Fla.
Comments (13)Sally, we are not kidding you when we say Tea and China roses on their own roots are the perfect roses for Florida, and I have the photos to prove it. LeVesuve - this rose was planted as a very tiny plant in 3/08 and was moved to its present spot in 3/09. It's first year it's canes grew sideways and low to the ground. Today it is about 2' high and 4' wide and taking on a nice vase shape - will probably be 5'-6' tall. Notice the lack of blackspot. This rose doesn't get any. I also have a baby Climbing LeVesuve, planted in September. You can see how low to the ground it is and no blackspot. I will say that as Teas are preparing to add new growth the old leaf at that budeye will turn yellow, maybe get a blackspot or two, and drop off. That is how they grow. On LeVesuve it's not noticeable. Jean Bach Sisley is a beautiful bush with stunning pink flowers that seem to float above the bush all around it. You can see the scattered yellow leaves on the bush. She was just coming into a big flush and was still pushing out new growth, hence the old yellow leaves about to be pushed off. Anna Olivier blooms like a fool and laughs at blackspot in my yard. She's pale yellow maybe with some pink shading in cooler weather. She's only been in the ground since March (a 2-gallon plant) and is about 2.5' tall and 5' wide, so well foliated that you can't see some of her BIG flowers that are down inside the bush. (Not the best photo, sorry.) Enchantress has been pumping out her magenta, half-dollar sized flowers all summer. She constantly has flowers on her. In the heat of this summer they crisped pretty quick but they're not unattractive on the bush - kind of like having dried flowers on a live bush. You can see how leafy she is and no blackspot. She's going to be small, I think. She was only planted in March so I'm not sure. She's about 2.5' x 2.5' now. Souvenir de Francois Gaulain is starting out (planted in March) like a lot of my other Teas - low to the ground and spreading out sideways. I doubt he's a foot tall yet, but he's 3 ft wide in one direction. He also bears magenta flowers but with a silveriness that Enchantress doesn't have. I think he's going to be a mid-size Tea. He's never had a blackspot problem. You can't go wrong with Red Cascade, a miniature climber with nickel-sized blooms that come in huge clusters. Marjory Palmer is an Australian polyantha that has been very healthy and green since being planted in August. She also blooms very nicely - but not here :)) All of these photos (except Anna Olivier's flower & Jean Bach Sisley) were taken yesterday. My garden is young, and I've struggled with keeping leaves on most of my roses but not these (not necessarily due to BS, maybe due to heat, not enough water or food, or all of the above.) Try them; you'll love them. And there are others that do great - with no spraying! Sherry...See MoreRoses for $7 antiques
Comments (87)Perma, well, than I would say " Safe the Planet" or " recycle Day". We are actually ckeaning the beach. A small proportion anyways. Perma, I am also sorry but gotta put positive attitude here , right ? I would go to the beach again alone if I have to. My kids used one if those words above. I guess I got lucky with this generation. Cedemas, you mom sounds to be a very loving person and patience. I am very grateful to mine also. Those days everything done fresh cooking from scratch. I hate to be in kitchen. But now, I am cooking but not sewing or knitting. Wish, I had learn those talents. Perma, a lot of people picks up seaweeds. I learned this from this forum actually. Yours sons will change not now when they are way older. They were realize that you are not crazy besides that's how lands works and has for 100's of years. From Farmers to rich soil in Alaska from Salmons. First time doing this and I hope my kids will help. You know the four news roses I got, well, my daughter planted all 4 for me in pots. She did that in patio while it was raining that day. She did a great job. She told me that I am too old to be scooping like that " I am young and I can do this besides I help in school gardens all the time since I am in FAA ." I was so impressed by her. My son helps seldom but he does when comes to bigger projects. After pushing him several times and getting him ready like to brush the pool or bags the weeds and leaves.sometimes, he does it sometimes he don't. Cedemas, I am so far behind. My front yard and backyard just started. I even grinds my Alfalfa hay to powder form and used the spreader . I don't need any seeds sprouting. I think I have the worst soil. I buried Alfalfa hay in a deep rose holes (9) before planting but it takes all the nitrogen to break down instead of releasing so I change my methods and throw it on top instead. Live and learn, I guess. Jin...See MoreAntique Roses - Edging
Comments (15)Vaporvac.....I am in love with your brick edging! I really like the way it has the front flat piece. It looks very rose garden-y and suits the roses perfectly! I would love to see more pictures of your garden. Jackie....the way each rose has its own little "bed" is so nice...it makes them so easy to take care of! As always, the exuberance of your roses is breathtaking. I prefer a plain cut edge to my beds with lawns, or a stone edging where beds meet gravel. But since our garden is so large, I've had to add a cheaper alternative in many spots and I chose metal edging. The metal does make it very easy for the landscapers to maintain the grass edges as well (they kept cutting back my grass edges too hard and my lawns were shrinking every year! Metal edging has put a stop to that). Here there is stone edging between the lawn and the hedge and gravel...this is really pretty, but requires weeding between the stones: More stone edging, and behind it on the gravel paths we used metal edging:...See MoreVaporvac Z6-OhioRiverValley
