Rose bush spacing
Comments (3)If they are the same variety, they'll form one big plant that may actually look better than two separate ones. If they are different...depends. If they are both about the same size & vigor, it may be ok. If one is bigger, it might overwhelm the smaller one. Accidents are part of gardening, and sometimes they are happy accidents. But as Jeri said, you can always move one next winter....See MoreMy rose bushes hardly grew into bushes, so puny help.
Comments (8)You made a mistake by cutting them back last fall. In your zone you should not prune your roses in the fall. Wait until spring. The roses store nutrients in the canes and you cut that supply off when you pruned them. That being said, last year was a particularly bad winter and you probably would have lost most of the cane anyway. Nothing you can do about that. We all started out with shorter than normal roses this spring. They'll need time to recuperate and rebuild their structures. Knowing what roses you have will also help us to determine how large and bushy you can expect them to get. Roses can take from 3 to 5 years to fully mature so be patient. As for the puckered leaves we really would need to see a photo of them to be able to diagnose what's going on. Why are you using the Bioneem oil? Do you have a bug infestation? If not then you don't need it. If you do not have a specific insect that you have correctly identified and are using the correct product for that bug, you could be killing off beneficial insects instead. That could set you up for an even worse problem later on. Only use insecticide when you have a bug, know exactly what bug it is and determine the correct insecticide to use for that bug. Not all insecticides work on all bugs. For now I would keep them well watered and fertilize them following the instructions on the fertilizer carefully and be patient....See MoreWANTED: Black rose bush and Blue Moon rose bush
Comments (0)I would love to have a Black Magic, Ink Spots, or Black Jade rose bush. I am also looking for a Blue Moon rose bush. If anyone out there has any of these please contact me at dragonflygirl99@yahoo.com Thanks Beth...See MoreIs this a miniature rose bush or regular rose bush?
Comments (3)If it is Dr. Huey chances are it will not bloom this year. DH only blooms on year old wood. So It would only bloom if the canes from last season were still on the bush. That looks like it was cut down and is just coming in this spring so it wouldn't bloom....See MoreVaporvac Z6-OhioRiverValley
