SUMMER is here... Seasonal thread part 9
Comments (247)Kristine - google "Epley maneuver vertigo" - it's a series of head movements that your doctor can guide you through in their office, that helps settle down your inner ear. My Aunt was having a big problem with vertigo - she had never heard about this, and just happened to mention it to a doctor who was experienced with the procedure, and it made her vertigo go away. (The technical name is "canalith repositioning procedure".)...See MoreWINTER is here! Seasonal thread part 1
Comments (170)Congratulations, Lisa!! You are in for the ride of your life. This is why we have kids, right, so we get grand babies. Just kidding. I loved every minute with my own babies, but grand babies are something special. Jim, Ezra is a good looking little guy. Love seeing how these little ones grow. And, congratulations to you, Kristine!! What a joyful way to start the new year for you and Lisa!...See MoreThe thrill of Summer and the long wait for Spring group thread
Comments (1236)@Stephanie, 9b inland SoCal I would recommend a few tips for best results in remedying your curled leaf issue. To onow what is precisely the oroblem w/ your soil it is best to have a progrssional soil test. You can give a sample of your soil to an argriculture extension near you to do the test. it is recommended to test soil teice a year. They will recommend what to add to your soil. Adding calcium chlorode, from your pickle crisp may or may not help. And I caution adding it from your ”pickle crisp,” because you dont know the amount of calcium to add to the soil. Fertilizers have a smaller amount , ounces they add to rodes soil. Over fertilizing of calcium on roses will also inhibit absorption by rose roots of needed nutrients in the soil. I always recommend using a balanced rose fertilizer to correct an issue that is measired correctly for you for roses. Osmocote is a slow release fertilizer that may feed your roses eventually when it‘s nutients works its way through soil. Since Osmocote can take a long time to feed roses, you can supplinent Osmocote by using other rose balanced fertilizers after applying Osmocote. Some rose fertilizers release sooner nutrients to your roses. Adding a ”full balanced fertilizer,” may fix most nutrient deficiencies.” I use Espoma Organic Rose Tone I order on Amazon delivered in a few days. , which Id tecommend to you. It has bone meal w/ calcium for your roses ( it correct measured amounts.) Rose tone has NPK, poultry meal, bone neal, alfalfa, magnesium. It smells like real food from real organic ingredients. Work it into soil-water well. Heirloom Roses, HR suggests Boost & Bloom fertilizer every 4 weeks. Also, HR Founders Fish Fertilizer monthly. You can add other fish fertilizers anytime, but read label directions of the container as some have really high Nitrogen & little phosphate/potash. Adding Bone meal 1/2 cup to your soil is a recommended average amount to boast calcium, as an alternative. Often in planting roses, I recommend 1/2 cup bone meal to each rose, along w/other soil amendments. I am concerned the tree roots are inhibiting your rose roots from obtaining nutition from the soil. If these large tree roots are sharing a space w/ the rose roots you may wish to transplant the rose to a new location and give it balanced living soil & ferttilizer . An easy way to have a rose grow well is to transplant it ito a pot w/ rich bskanced potted soil & fertilize. (Potted roses do well w/ liquid fertilizers such as fish ( not granules dissolved in water.) Granule fertilizers can burn roots of transolanted roses & in pots & cause salt build up making it difficult for roses roots to absorb nutrients. If you already added the tablesppon… no worries. Just water it a lot in case it’s a little much. Transolanting the rose to a new soil & location is another option. Anyway, some food for thought. And making pickles sounds yummy!!!...See MoreLet's Begin Again...Rose Seasonal Thread
Comments (1127)Hi, Jim, Wonderful you joined us! @Diane Brakefield Sorry I missed your comments above. I’ve been a little tired & skim reading some posts. I love looking at everyones posts daily, but wiped out now. However, I just caught your post about the Huntington Gardens. It’s been many years but I used to live in LA & visited them & the Japanese Gardens, often! I remember them well! They have the largest Kwanzan trees ever-that’s what inspired me to have a Kwanzan in my gardens. Interested who the curator of the garden’s is now!!! We just love his taste in roses!!! Wishing everyone a more Healthy Holiday Season!...See Morerosecanadian
