Growing English Miss in SoCal 9 ?
Comments (9)I don't have it but I just googled it. It is very very pretty. I remember wanting it for a while when I saw its picture awhile back. Info I have from googling: it is very black spot, mildew and rust resistant and has AASR rating of 8.3. You can read more yourself. Google has a habit of finding interesting reviews sometimes. If all fails, call Regan Nursery in Fremont California. They carry it, they may know few things about it and may also be able to compare it with Angle face. All that said, some times you have to try it in your own yard to find out. I have two Heaven On Earth which have been purchased at the same time, planted at the same time and next to each other. One rusts like crazy the other does not. HOE is suppose to be rust and mildew resistant too. Let us know what you find out.

Comments (18)Hi Hoovb, I haven't seen anything beneficial. I am probably expecting too much. This is a new rose bed with mostly new roses. The weird, and maybe to be expected thing, is that my 7 year old roses that were transplanted along with the new roses look great. I have 8 Jean Giono roses, three of which have lived here with me for years. They are pristine. No mildew etc. The new five gallon J. Gionos are covered with mildew. They are planted right next to each other. I have never, ever had mildew on J.G. I suppose it is a small root system vs. a large one. Mine have been in 15 gallon containers. What, if anything, would you do? I have been tempted to cut all the leaves off. Today we are under a Marine layer, and I expect it for most of June. So, mildew is going to be a problem. Also, what nurseries do you S. Cal people go to? I drive up and down S. Cal to visit family and would love to visit good nurseries. (with lots of roses) Thanks for the help, Eileen/tinyrose...See MoreSoCal Rare Rose Auction Nov 16-17 2013
Comments (40)Beth, I noticed an outbreak of similarly coloured petunias appearing all over the UK (gold and maroon) which caused me to literally avert my eyes on walking past. As a rule, I am a lover of bright colours (no beige in my house or wardrobe) but am strictly old school when it comes to roses - white or pink (or palest yellow at a pinch). Course, that does not apply to the dahlia beds, nor the many rows of cutting gladioli or luridly coloured annuals (apart from said petunias) in my allotment. Particularly enjoying a combo of orange, purple, deep red and acid green.......just not in the roses. And yeah, striped roses, not even pink and white, really do it for me but I was agog at the variety available in the US....See MoreDesert Rose Outside in SoCal zone 10?
Comments (13)I live in So Cal myself and have abt a dozen adeniums bought fr various sources. They need to be in pots or container bec they can root rot very easily. They cannot take cold below 40s, they stem rot too, they need to be protected from too much sun as well, our summer heat is intensely hot and dry, they drop leaves and even their flowers when dehydrated so water heavily in summer or even now,I do it almost everyday, so pretty much finicky outside their habitat. In humid tropical climate you can plant them in ground, they grow like weeds in the Philippines. I hope this helps. Plumerias are similar but not as finicky. In the ground they become beautiful small trees here in SoCal, I have 4 trees in my yard that are so beautiful . Adeniums are different....See MoreUser
