Roses

Good afternoon @Felicity Grace no worries my friend its OK to panic and shows just how much you care for your Rose

Yes, I can definitely say: That's a rose *Flying away*

First blooms.

Good afternoon I have just received this email from Peter Beales Roses LtdDear Woo, The roses are showing evidence of spray damage. Tina Limmer (RA)

My first Nasturtium "Dayglow" flowered a couple of days ago. It was grown from seed, in a hanging basket, and we were thrilled because it looked like it was only producing leaves.

Hi!I'm a relative noob to rose growing and recently purchased and planted Abracadabra (KORHocsel) into a 50cm container at the same time as three other roses.Is the yellow colouration on the foliage normal or disease / problem related? None of the other three have it so far and if it is a...

Thanks. I have been removing the leaves. Good to know about the watering. I normally just spray them with the hose.

Putting fertiliser of any kind in the bottom of a hole defeats the object because the roots sit above it. As our friends have said here, fertiliser is best mixed in with soil and then back filled into the hole. When the plant is watered the fertiliser will wash through to the roots without...

Wonderful thank you @wiseowl . I can feel a sneaky little obsession beginning with these Rose's I have my eye on a Koko loko.

Good evening @groundbeetle my friend its a lovely little RoseBaby Goldstar Deep yellow Miniature. Registration name: Baby Gold Star Bred by (Pere) Dot Pedro (Spain, circa 1935). Introduced in United States by Conard -Pyle (Star Roses) in 1940 as 'Baby Gold Star'. Introduced in Australia by...

Further to my post re pruning into brown, Old, stems. Have had one or two buds arrise, though most from greener stems, including the green basal shoots. As befits a Peace plant, its really developing well with a great shape!

The roses I have bought from Cant's have always been healthy and well packaged. The only drawback, as with most nurseries, is the extra cost of delivering here to Scotland, especially the Highlands. If you buy them bare root later in the year they will be cheaper.As long as the wind isn't...

Definitely get some sturdy but unobtrusive wire in place over the door, fixed to rawl-plugged screws or hooks. When you tie in the rose stems, arching them over to the horizontal, they'll flower all along the stems. The plant looks a bit young to be needing much pruning but it's never too soon...

Welcome Curlylocks. Lucky! (the exclamation mark is part of it's name) is a floribunda rose shrub which should have dense foliage and a mass of perfumed, lilac pink blooms throughout the flowering season. I had one amongst the roses in my last garden....It's the only rose I've had that...

Decided to go for a 'Golden Gate' instead, but this thread was really helpful to make a decisionI dont expect them to be that different, so the availability from where i live made the biggest difference

and a another to shop around with to get the cheapest price and 5 year guarantee...I have found :bareroot 1 x plant £8.99 4ltr pot x1 £27.99

I have always thought it was simply due to overzealous breeders trying to produce the most impressively large blooms. The only rose I've grown where this was really a problem was 'Special Anniversary' (Whastiluc), but the beautiful large pink flowers and rich fragrance made the nodding seem like...

Thank you very much Nigel. I hope you are right as I love this rose & it seems to be doing alright, excluding this issue. Good idea, I will email them and ask for advice.

Time to plant those citrus trees

For pruning it all depends on where you live. We prune in March or April depending on the weather. Here's a video I have made a thread about this guy, it's called Fraser valley rose farm
