Is it true? You can not plant a rose in a spot of another rose?
Comments (7)I do it all the time and never have a problem. If the first rose had a serious disease or died in its spot, I probably would not, at least not until I had addressed the problem in some manner. I have been told that there is some question about the existence of rose replant disease even in Europe. While the problem does indeed occur, some think it is a result of certain fertilizing practices rather than an actual disease. No specific disease causing organism has been identified. Perhaps someone with more direct knowledge than I have will speak up. Rosefolly...See Morestruggling roses with old clematis
Comments (31)Rosylady… I just read that link, thank you, and I know you get it too... but can I be forgiven for wondering if the writer is perhaps in some way connected with any firm that produces this? because it sort of read that way to me, like an advertisement.. in fact I notice he used a photo from 'Mycorrhizal Applications' which supply the product... but I don't doubt what is said there, I'm just a suspicious type... They always show a picture of two plants, one with a great root system, MF treated and one without which looks poor... so I did my own experiment with this too.. I had 3 'Charles Rennie Mackintosh' roses, grafted bare roots, I planted the 3 together, 1 with MF only, the other two without MF but with my own mix of soil amendment... proprietary potting mix, plus composted manure, and small amount of organic fertilizer... It says on the MF packet that after just 4 weeks the root system starts to develop secondary feeder roots, or words to that effect, so what I did was, I gave it 6 weeks and dug up 2 of the 3 roses,... the one with soil amendment had masses of little white roots forming in the potting mix surrounding the roots, like you see in a potted rose... the one with MF only.... zilch...nada... it was exactly the same as when I planted it, still with white specs residue from the MF... It was this that turned me off the product... and I was not prepared to purchase any more then on.. I also say to people over here, think about the past how many roses and other shrubs have been planted all down the centuries, all the roses in this country, no one ever grabbed a packet of MF along the way... yet in the last 10 years apparently it's now a ''must have'' …. …. they ain't foolin' me no more... agree about the Oak trees too, lots of good MF can be had from Oak tree mulch so I understand.. Here are my 2 'CR Mackintosh' roses that I kept, neither had MF, I removed the 3rd which did as it wasn't doing well, and both of these bloomed all summer during a very hot season for us... this photo from October 15.. and bedraggled with rain.....See MoreThis is the End of My Garden Hopes and Dreams
Comments (50)Hi Ingrid, I’ve been away from the forum for a while between taking care of mom and then taking care of all the necessary stuff since her passing. I’m slowly, but surely coming out of the abyss now and trying to catch up on what’s been happening here. I’m so sorry to hear of your bunny troubles. I know you get great joy out of helping the wildlife around you and feel it’s worth it to do what you can for them, but I also know it’s disheartening to have them destroy beloved plants in the garden. My rabbit problems don’t compare to yours, but I have lost multiple roses, lilies and such to bunny damage over the years, not to mention the havoc they wreak on our vegetable garden. I’ve had success the past couple of years with heavy duty bird netting around the young roses. I just use long sticks I pick up from trees around the yard, push 4 of those in the ground to form a square around the rose, cut enough bird netting to wrap around the outside of the sticks and use landscape staples to secure the netting around the ground. These homemade cages have been much cheaper for me ($20 for 7.5 x 65 feet of netting which is enough for a lot of cages) than putting tomato cages around every plant loved by rabbits, and the netting is barely visible, so more pleasing to the eye. I’m not sure this would be strong enough protection for the rabbit issue you have, though…with the amount of rainfall we get here, rabbits have plenty of food to choose from, so it’s easier for them to move on along than to try to get to the roses inside the netting. The only other thing I can think of would be “if you can’t fight them, join them” by keeping an area as a bunny garden planted with vegetables, berries and flowers they love, and then plant flowers and herbs they generally dislike in other areas of your garden around your roses/companion plants that you want them to avoid. If a separate rabbit garden wouldn’t be too impractical with your drought conditions, maybe that along with some bird netting would help. Echoing everyone else, your determination to garden through the all the obstacles thrown your way has been quite an inspiration to me. Hoping you find a feasible resolution that works for both you and your surrounding wildlife soon! Leonie Lamesch outgrowing her netting cage:...See MoreRose replant diseas
