Fertilizing Rose Bands
Comments (4)A "band" is a container size :-) Typically about 4" square and 6-8" deep with a more or less open bottom. Any sort of liquid fertilizer you prefer would work. I am partial to Liquid Grow (7-9-5) from Dyna-Gro. I use it at half strength weekly (maybe every 10 days) on my container plantings....See MoreMy Vintage Order List
Comments (12)I'm excited about getting September Morn. I've been waiting a long time, and last Fall dithered in getting a full order together when it was briefly available, and missed out. Lesson learned! If Snowbird proves to be the same rose as a "found" rose discovered my others near my home, then it is one of the most beautiful roses I've ever seen! Beautiful old-fashioned cream colored blooms somewhat like a cross between SDLM and Sombreuil. And fragrant. Beautiful. And IF it is the same as the found rose, it has to be one very strong rose, as the found rose has survived unbelievable neglect and drought. I hope to grow both Snowbird and the "found" rose side by side for study. Funny but Grace Darling was the very next "alternate" on my list. Next order.

Comments (22)I'm through with David Austins, except for Evelyn, which is tough and a good bloomer. A nurseryman I know put it best: in this area, Austins get twice as big and bloom half as much as they are predicted to do. The Jackson-Perkins roses rapidly die of homesickness for the Pacific northwest, so I don't buy those any more. I live ten minutes away from the Antique Rose Emporium, but it seems like they're always out of whatever it is I'm after. Leonidas is on the counting-down to shovel time list. I sure like Weeks roses for this area, though. I don't know where they're grown, but that is probably a big factor....See MoreTree Band Fiasco
Comments (5)rhizo_1, I hope you are right! Goodness knows it will get a lot of that this week. ken_adrian: The tree is somewhere between 95 and 40 years old, but slightly smaller then that age might suggest. My current concern now isn't the holes in the leaves...it's that bugs or fungus will have got established in the damp under the band and eat through the bark or spread. My original idea was to do a "test run" of tree bands. This tree and several others have had lots of holes in their leaves. Probably unrelated to this, lots of trees have died. If tree bands had worked, I'd try them on other trees and I don't know...maybe reduce one source of stress on these very stressed trees....See MoreThe Guy
