What's wrong here?
Comments (11)That growth looks like healthy Dr. Huey to me (rootstock). Is the "nothing like the original bloom" red? Check to see where that cane is coming from. Is it coming out of another cane, or is it coming from way down in the dirt near the base of the rose? If it is coming out of another cane, it might be a disease or herbicide damage as described above. However, if it is coming straight out of the dirt, or way down at the base of the bush, then it is probably rootstock. What you need to do is dig down until you can see where it is growing out of the main base of the rose. Do not cut it off at the dirt level - it will just grow back stronger. You may need to dig down several inches below the surface of the dirt until you get to where it is sprouting out of the main stem of the rose. Then cut it off flush with the main stem, put all of the dirt back in the hole you dug, and hope that it does not re-emerge. If you let it grow, it will eventually kill the main rose, and you will be left with a rose bush that is 100% rootstock, which will probably only bloom once a year.

Comments (31)It may be the Walmart potting mix. I started three flats of tomatoes from seed this year. I finished up a bag of soilless mix I had leftover from last year, and then for the third flat I opened a bag of stuff that I bought at Walmart this year. The first two flats took off like gangbusters. The third flat was slow, anemic, disappointing, and more than a bit puzzling. I started watering that third flat with fertilized water and things are starting to really happen, so my belief is that the stuff I got from Walmart didn't actually have the nutrients in it that they claimed. I set the bag at the curb on garage sale day and it disappeared, so I can't tell you the exact brand of it. My plants are in those little tiny seed-starting trays- probably 3 ounces of soilless mix. But the plants themselves are 2 feet tall, with many leaves. Adding fertilized water every day now. Looking forward to putting them in the ground this weekend. Gosh, I can't wait for some real, ripe tomatoes. I went to the farmer's market. They are selling tomatoes from Georgia. Nothing wrong with Georgia, but the farmers in Indiana aren't growing toms in Georgia. More picked-green, not truly ripe stuff. Might as well hit the supermarket! Not wandering as much this year....See Morewhat is wrong here?
Comments (3)what are the temps like in your area? Looks to me like a combo of cold and wet feet. If your night temps are still in the 40s, Just wait a little bit and they should grow out of it. I'd also cut back on the watering until they look like they need it. While it's true that in warmer weather container plants need more water, when it's cool out, the opposite is true for strong root development. Did you make holes in the container for drainage?...See MoreWrong color on semi-transparent stain. What can I do???
Comments (6)Thanks both CaptRandy & Faron79. I wish I could post the picture here, CaptRandy. Fortunately, Faron, we haven't done the handrails & spindles yet... Well, it sounds like we'll have to live with it for now like Faron said. We'll stain the handrails & spindles with the natural brown-ish color which we'll use it for the whole deck next year. Is that a good idea? Since we live in a townhouse community, the HOA may not appreciate the outstanding bright green deck!! Honestly, I'd prefer no chemical if possible because I have couple of plant boxes & lots of plant pots down below. Just in case, if we going to sand it, what type of sander should we use/rent?...See MoreLily S
