New growth separate from rose bush
Comments (1)Many (most?) roses are grafted. What you are seeing is growth coming from the understock. It is typically from a very hardy but a not very desirable type of rose. Since these shoots grow quickly and with great vigor, they can sap strength from the desired portion of the bush. They are best removed and destroyed as soon as you discover them. If left alone they will eventually overwhelm the desirable rose and be all that remains....See Moreclimbing rose help....did I ruin my rose?
Comments (20)I have never heard of cutting back a bare root rose at planting unless there is some dead cane to be removed. Pruning of any kind always stimulates TOP growth, not the roots. You can leave all the hips on you want. The rose will not go dormant. It will continue to put out growth until the weather stops it. I've left hips on from the spring flush in June and the rose continued to grow and bloom right through until October. New Dawn is such a growth monster that I can't see any purpose in disbudding it. The roots are growing, count on it! Roses, climbers in particular, will not send up more cane than their root system can sustain. Hence the saying for climbers, first year sleep, second year creep, third year leap. Those first few years that it seems to not be doing anything it is in fact building a big enough root ball to be able to push nutrients up those long canes you're waiting for. Once it feels it has sufficient roots to do that it will begin to climb....See MoreHelp! Walk in shower with toilet vs separate shower, bath and toilet
Comments (13)Chiming in from Canada here. Having the toilet so far from the shower is very weird to me. I would not like them separated, but like you said, it’s done differently traditionally in New Zealand. That said, your current layout is not like this so whoever built your home (whenever that was) didn’t think it was important enough to separate them, so why do you feel the need now? When you bought the house, did it almost make you not want to buy it? Also, 10 years from now things may be very different. Perhaps a new immigrant will buy your house and will prefer to have the toilet in the bathroom as that is what they are used to. For me I would keep the layout as it is and save the money. As far as the bathtub goes, yes they will continue to be important for young families. Maybe a shower/tub combo is an option? Or could you enlarge the bathroom by making the laundry room smaller, and add the walk-in shower while keeping the tub, sink and toilet where they are? Again, I know nothing of the New Zealand housing market so you probably need to ask your realtor. But from my perspective it’s better the way it currently is....See MoreHelp with new build floorplan - flow between separate yet open spaces?
Comments (11)The north side overhang is larger than the south side overhang and defines two outdoor spaces against somewhat blank walls, but has been given the prominence to be visually and physically accessed by the main entry spine. What will it be used for? The west side "gable" overhang (2nd floor balcony over Mud/Office?) defines a large and tall in scale outdoor space, too shallow for a carport, yet too prominent to be accessed only through a mudroom or for guests to shimmy by the Office windows. What will it be used for? The south side overhang slices the patio and delineates a space that is in purgatory - too small for it's own function, too big which competes with the defined space beyond the overhang. It seems like maybe this entire plan has been conceptualized on that one particular view from the inspiration picture. Realize that the inspiration house was created from a design specific to it's own site and program requirements; that the carefully pinpointed camera angle organically arose from it's built surroundings. If you design your house for your site and requirements, you will have the same opportunity to create your own perfect perspectives....See Moreseasiderooftop
