Comments (14)Hi - I was away for the day, but will now get back to your question about soaking the bands. Yes, the whole plant is submerged. Ya never know - there may be bugs hitching a ride on the upper leaves as easily as anywhere else on the plant. Some bands are pretty tall, so that's why the 33 gallon trash can - to fully submerge them. Also, I typically get 5 to 10 roses in a shipment, so I need the larger diameter to hold them all. If you only have 3, and they fit side by side in a smaller bucket with the tops of the leaves covered with water, by all means, use that. Fill the bucket first, and then carefully place (not drop) the bands on the bottom so as to dislodge as little soil as possible. You will need to lower them to the bottom slowly, to gently let the air in the soil come bubbling out of the pot. But once fully submerged, they will stay at the bottom just fine without disturbing the root ball. Then, when the time has passed, reverse the process and carefully remove them from the bucket. It's easy, actually (but you have to remember to do it, lol). Kathy...See MoreLivin Easy rose question
Comments (53)Had my soil tested this fall and all is fine, except for the potash. I have potash that I added about a month ago and will add some in spring too. What I did do because I read about it's supposed to help (don't know if it will at all) is I sprayed the bush with my Wilt Pruf last week when it was really nice out. It's supposed to protect from the anthracnose spreading. We'll see about that though... :) I do like the Wilt Pruf though. I used it on my Westerland the first season and had loads of viable cane left in spring. Last winter, I didn't use it, and had much less left over to work with. So, this year, on goes the Wilt Pruf again....See MoreDA Princess Anne Rose Question
Comments (7)This is the second year I have Princess Anne. The blooms on mine last pretty long for an Austin, probably on average 5 - 6 days. Even during its first year it lasted quite a few days and never shattered within a day. I have strong wind here in my SF Bay micro-climate, very often between 15 - 20 mph during the spring and summer, and I have to say that Princess Anne's blooms stay pretty well. Also the branches are strong and don't break as easily as PAoK. Perhaps give it some time and see if it will improve with age. Another question is whether you got the right rose. From the picture it is hard for me to tell. My Princess Anne can age to almost a purple color after a few days....See Morecarolstropicals
