I accidentally made baby rootings out of Radio Times rose
Comments (2)Thank you, Jeri, for that positive note. For those in a wet winter area, my putting buckets (bottom cut-off) around roses, then filled with soil was a BAD IDEA, many branches burned black (rose stem canker). The only one without a plastic bucket around it is Radio Times, all green, and many leaves in early March. My two corkscrew willows are the last one to lose their leaves in late November. The wind here is strong so I winterize with branches on top. I won't make any plants out of the new rootings, since I have 25 mail-ordered roses coming, and I'm running out of space. It's nice that I found way to winterize so I get a full bush, with many shoots, rather than a one-stem wonder black with canker after a wet winter....See MoreTrue Story!

Comments (22)Kim, today I read your entire article on HMF "I am NOT an expert" but I have to disagree, you really are!! After reading up on Renae I'm convinced that's what this rose is like you said, except it doesn't seem to have a strong desire to climb. Of course that's just for me, in my climate with my horticultural practices. Southern Louisiana is a very specific climate to grow in. I do think it's a great place for me to carry out my lifelong breeding goals since if a seedling can survive Louisiana's black spot infested humidity and heat it'll be off to a good start! Thanks for the good luck Judith! Also to anyone interested and curious, I have ripening hips on a couple of roses with this rose, 'Renae' as the pollen parent: a few of (Smooth Ballerina x Renae) and a lot of (Thomas Affleck x Renae). I bet those seedlings will be smooth as silk! I can't wait to one day share my creations with everyone!...See More'Roses, Roses, Roses!' I created a Group on Facebook
Comments (10)Hello hoovb: I second your concerns about privacy on Facebook. One of the key elements in protecting your privacy on any site is setting intransigent security options on your registered profile. If you need help with the security setting hoops within Facebook...please email me via Gardenweb or Facebook. :) The Facebook Roses Group is in its infancy. It's a place to chit-chat and connect with users on the Rose Forums. For those who already use Facebook or plan to do so, it may facilitate a facile mode of communication with fellow rose enthusiasts. I've befriended a few folks from the Rose forums and am looking forward to learning about their experiences with roses. Bottom-line, each individual has the final say on their decision making. Beauty in diversity! Tangent #1: Boardreader (note: (the link opens in a new window, so you will not navigate away from Gardenweb) is a search engine that that indexes and displays statistics on forum discussions. Hoovb, you top the list as the author with the most number of posts last week! Cool! :) Tangent #2: Did I ever reveal that I like bold and gaudy colors in roses. The stark color combination make me nostalgic about my home country....See MoreRoundup damage to large roses: should I prune? Can I add more roses?
Comments (13)I think there is some bacteria that will help get rid of the chemical they will absorb it and others will eat them. The ameoba and parameciams and protozoa that we learned about in 9th grade. Eventually the microbes will ameliorate. I like that word ameliorate the soil. It's your garden. Put what you want there. Maybe if you take some good soil from a place that you know grows good plants and sprinkle it on top it will rain down the good microbes. Maybe some good Organic fertilizers at the plant nursery will be good to sprinkle and make the soil good again. Don't they have something called starter fertilizers? To get the good things going again? I think rain eventually takes it away and it dissapates in the air and water and water vapor and the microbes....See MoreCat
