New to gardening - sad sad inherited rose
Comments (6)I couldn't get the link to work either. How tall is the rose? Is it compact and bushy, or gangly? You might want to go to Help Me Find, and click on Search, and type in "Dr. Huey", and see if it looks like your rose. I say that because neglected red roses often turn out to be that rose - it was/is used as rootstock, and sometimes the top rose dies and up comes Dr. Huey from the roots. If so, it is a once blooming climber, and I have seen lovely plants of it - it seems to do better on the East Coast than out here. What ever it is, if a neglected rose were mine here's what I would do: Cut off all of the dead canes. Cut it back to shape it if it needs it - don't take off anymore than 1/3rd of the bush. Mulch it - at least 2 inches of mulch all around it, but not touching the canes in the middle. Water it well. Find out what folks do in your area to winter protect their roses - I have no idea about that, as we hardly ever get even frost here. In the Spring, when it starts to put out new growth, feed it - just get any rose food (without anything else in it like poisons - just food), and follow the instructions. Then you should get more flowers in the Spring, and you can see if you want to keep it. Take pictures of the Spring bloom, and post them here, and someone will be able to tell you what/who it is.

Comments (74)Thank you all so much for the kind words! For those of you who thought Jammer and I were already married....well, we were in heart. Now we are just doing the legal stuff. I have felt guilty ever since I made this post because I felt I didn't say enough about Tatum. It's just so hard to say how much she meant to all of us and how much we miss her. I have told stories here about her. She kind of reminded me of Marley in the book Marley and Me. She was soooo hyper and soooo big! She broke two of my toes on two different occasions just because she was running around me and I was barefooted. I quickly learned to always have something on my feet when around her! And when I took her on the leash, LOL, was like seeing a cartoon. Tatum trying to run and me being dragged behind! We didn't even use a typical leash, we used a horse lead rope. LOL She loved socks and we had to make sure none were laying around if she was in the room. One time she grabbed a thin black sock and then making sure she was just beyond my reach, she stared deep into my eyes and proceeded to swallow the sock. I could tell she felt so satisfied to do that. Anyway, she has left a big hole in our lives, but we have some great memories. As far as the wedding plans....we are getting married tomorrow in our church. Just Jammer, me and the preacher. I am still not feeling well and don't feel like being around people....See MoreAnglophilia?
