What can I put in a rose garden to encourage meditation and spiritual connection? Not Religious..?
I've made myself a quiet rose garden, and am putting in chairs and a table. I'm looking for inspiration to make something or find something that is spiritaully attuned, not religious. I'm thinking of a meditation corner, and haven't done a lot of meditating. Please help.
Thanks so much!

Traditionally people put in a sundial often witht he inscription:
"grow old along with me,
The best is yet to be,
The last of life for which the first was made."
Don't ask me why. However, for you I would recommend:
a Japanese Sand Garden. It doesn't have to be very big. Just a sand box and a rake.
A labyrinth? (depends on space - even a small one would probably mean re-arranging).
Fountains are good. So are Coy ponds.
Large, round cement dias just large enough for you to sit on.
Bird houses, hummingbird feeders, bird bath. Bat houses.
Reply:How about a little fountain or man-made pond. You can get them from Home Depot or Lowe's and the installation is pretty simple. Or, what about soft wind chimes. Perhaps a small outdoor fireplace for cool evenings. Think about getting a swing or an outdoor chair that can also recline. Plant a few bushes that attract butterflies. Also, try having an area that is shaded.

Reply:A fountain. It's nice to just watch/listen to the water and meditate. Surround it with your pretty roses. Enjoy.
Reply:Water features totally rock! And if your budget is tight, make it a birdbath and put in a bird feeding pole of some sort. I find it tremendously relaxing to sit and watch the bird (especially hummingbirds!) come in and feed---let THEM chatter all they like, while your mind relaxes.
Maybe a small patch of herb garden, with lavendar to soothe the mind? (and a couple of lovely flowers, for bees and butterflies?)
And consider a candle (especially one with a lid, so you can leave it out) to light---wonderful for early morning or twilight meditations.
Peace to you, and blessed be!
Reply:Also suggest a water feature of some kind, small fountain or similar. Very soothing sounds, and there are many meditations that use water as a focus or metaphor.
Reply:Some comfy pillows and a water fountain.
Reply:main thing is to allow your mind to attain the level of concentration for meditation to 'enter the silence of the mind'...so whatever is conducive to your meditation in getting there.

It's a basic what works best for you to shut out your noisy suroundings.

Will covering my rose garden w/lava rocks kill the roses?
I got tired of having to remulch it every year so I used lava rock this year instead but now my roses don't seem to be blooming anymore.

Hi, i recommand you a good and basic tutorial for home and garden. it covers all Issues related to your home, garden and everything around it.

wish it will help you.
Good Luck , Best Wishes!
Reply:I wouldn't think that would matter, as long as the roses can still get all the water they need. It's possible they need fertilizer, of course. The only other thing I can think of (presuming the plants themselves are healthy) is that they were pruned at the wrong time and the portions of the canes that would have produced buds were removed.
Reply:I know that I have a rose bush right outside my laundry room door and it has lava rocks all around it, and it makes roses like crazy!! So I can tell you that it definitely should not matter at all.
Reply:Could be too hot or dry . Otherwise , I'd think they'd do well , because of the drier conditions (less , or no disease) .

the other base is 8.
You work backwards.
Reply:Draw a picture first so you can see what you are working with.
to compute the are of a trapezoid, multiply the height time the average length of the bases
average length of bases = (length of base 1 + length of base 2) divided by 2
so (b1 + b2) / 2 * height = the area
you know b1 = 20m, height = 16m, and area = 224m^2
b2 is the unknown, which I will call x
now just plug in the values you know:
(20 + x) / 2 * 16 = 224
which is the same as
(20 + x) * 16/2 = 224
(20 + x) * 8 = 224
(20 + x) * 8/8 = 224/ 8
(20 + x) = 28
20 + x -20 = 28 - 20
x = 8

What is the name of your favorite rose to grow in your garden?
I am a rose-aholic. Everytime I'm at a garden center, I want a new rose plant more than anything else. But I have found some great tried and true roses over the years (I'm in Massachusetts, so you can imagine it is hard). So far, I think Hybrid teas should be considered an annual or avoided all together because they get disease and spread it among my hardy roses. I won't buy them anymore. I love the Hot Cocoa Floribunda, you can't kill it, and the Easy Going Floribunda. And a great performing shrub rose in hot pink is Lady Elsie May, it's a 2 x 2 foot shrub. Can't wait to hear your answers (then I'll go rose shopping again;)
What is the name of your favorite rose to grow in your garden?
Ahh! One of my favourite topics. So many to chose from. I have fragrant cloud (1 of 15) and the flower is coral in colour. The is all you smell when you come out my front door. It flowers right up to frost. Have you tried in the fall to bury the crown and a few inches of the canes with soil. Then step on them to remove air pockets. I live in Canada and it works for me.
Two great floribunda's are 'betty boop' and 'angel face'
Good luck.
Reply:I agree with you about modern roses... many of them are practically useless, because of the amount of work/ effort that has to be put into them. The aren't for the casual gardener, and barely for the avid gardener!
My personal fav. is one I took from my Grandmothers house. An old time beauty called Frau Karl Druski. This is an old White rose that used to be used for wedding flowers. It was hybridized in the late 1800's. I've gotten some (very little) blackspot. My rose is about 6' tall and wide. She only blooms once per year, but wow! what a show!
Enjoy your answers!
Reply:I don't know the actual names but I love long stem red roses! They are my favorite...
Reply:my favorite rose is the helen hayes
Reply:I love the Tropicana rose. It has the most beutiful orange flowers and it is quite hardy.
Reply:I am so glad you asked. I too love roses. We just recently moved so I had to leave my old ones behind---Better to start new!! I found this really neat one called Intrigue. It was just a hardware shop rose but it looked beautiful. Dark lavender!! I can't wait for it to bloom. Also I got this really cool magazine at the beginning of the year that is just roses and they have some beautiful ones. My favorite one is called the "Laura Bush" it is described as having "Texas sunset-colored petals" It is very pretty. An orange-red color.
Have you seen the "honey Perfume" floribunda?? It won the floribunda of the year in 2004!It is yellow.
Anyway the magazine is called: Jackson %26amp; Perkins.
Here is the web page that was in the book:

Someone please tell me the original version to "Incident in a Rose Garden"?
I read the poem last year during an FCAT testing for writing. I now, can't find the full version of the poem anywhere. I can find where it starts
"Sir, I encountered Death
Just now among our roses
Thin as a scythe he stood there."
but I can't find the original one written. Anyone can help?
thanks so much.

No moles will not kill your roses they'll eat a few worms and move on. No problem, their tunnelling will help to oxygenate your soil so they'll be a net benefit.
Reply:If you have hills, you have pocket gophers. They look like chipmunks without the stripe on the back and a shorter tail. They eat roots of certain plants and grains. They dig tunnels down to 16 inches below the soil level. That's where the dirt to make hills come from.
I have gophers around my Roses and other than making an unsightly mounds of dirt, they haven't harmed the Roses.
If you want to drive them away, most garden shops sell gopher bombs. A mini highway flare that you put down the hole, light the fuse and the smoke from the bomb coats the inside of the tunnel with sulfur. The gopher moves on to less smelly digs.
The sulfur in the gopher bomb is good for plants as it kills fungus and other pathogens harmful to plants.
Moles make a raised tunnel just under the dirt. It will look like a garden hose just under the surface of the soil. Moles eat insects and worms. They won't hurt your Roses.
Reply:Go out with a shovel at the crack of dawn and very quietly watch where they are working and dig them up and kill them.
Or you might try some juicy fruit chewing gum. Roll up a stick and shove it down into their tunnel. in several places. this works for a few months, and then you have to do it a gain.
I have never had much luck with traps.
Reply:Oh my...........I'm sorry for you....moles are insatiable rodents, and they will not leave you until they have destroyed your yard or garden.....all the remedies you will read about are mostly ineffective I'm sorry to say, as I know this from my experience with them.

Baby creature with fur and ears in our tulip/rose garden under some mulch!?
Anyone know what it could be? It looks like it may be a baby bunny or squirrel?? It is alive and actually looked like it may be in the moma's pouch but not sure did not want to disturb it too much.
Any ideas what we should do?

Reply:I'm guessing bunny, I would leave it alone if you touch it there's a good chance the mother will either kill it or ignore it when she gets back if she smells you on her baby. If it is a bunny there are probably more than just one so I would be careful when doing anything in the area that you see it in. I right now have a mommy fox in my empty barn and 3 little babies. I love to sit on my porch and watch them play in the field in front of my house, spring is such a wonderful time...
Reply:Rabbits and squirrels are not marsupials so if it is in the mom's pouch it would have to be a kangaroo or wallabee, maybe an opossum. Where are you, Waku? That might give us a clue.

P.S. Any mother, especially one that's lactating will get vicious if you attempt to get at her baby. Leave it alone, if you can.

Wow...did you ask them? Did they have a search warrant? I think the reason is suppose to listed be on the warrant.
The ol' man once told me that if the electric company notices a rise in usage they let the authorities know, because it could be the use of heat lamps. Apparently people use them in growing marijuana.

Wow those must be some crazy cops.
p.s.Ask them next time they come barging in
so you know why they come barging in the other answers may be just guessing

What can I plant in the garden this month and when is the best time to plant A rose?
Usually March/April or October November to plant roses, but you can plant a "container grown" rose from the nursery any time. Make sure you give plenty of fertiliser ( horse manure is good) and water in well.
Reply:check out what zone you live in first the talk to a professional:like at a garden center .In the south it is February Report Abuse
Reply:Plant roses during their bareroot season. Usualy January is when the roses start arriving in the stores.
Reply:they can be planted any time of year really .... when they selling in shops they can be planted ... no problems with mine ... happy planting
Reply:If you live in the North, the best time to plant dormant rose bushes is in the Fall, but only where zero or subzero temperatures seldom occur. In really cold climates, Spring is the best time for planting roses. In the South, anytime from mid. November to mid February is fine when conditions are favorable(When the weather is mild) Roses that are planted int he spring usually don't get as much growth as those that are planted in the fall.
As far as roses that are not in dormancy, I'd say it's safe to plant them as long as your temperatures are not extreme. I have found that by planting my new roses in extra large planters for the first year gives me the benefit of being able to start them in shade (the same environment they were growing in when I bought them) and slowly move them to the sunny location I had planned for them. ( I live in zone 7) Not to mention, if any disease arise in the newbies I can easily get them away from my healthy roses to nurse them back to health.
As far as other plants go, I'm not sure where you are. I would suggest going to the nursery you would like to get your plants from and asking the manager there to help you find plants that are safe to go in the ground at this time. I just planted Lantana and Mums and they are doing well.
Good luck!

In my front yard I have an area about 15x10. I want to plant a rose garden, what other plants will go with?
I planted red and pink "pinks" around my heart shaped rose garden

Nepeta x faasenii is good, catmints give you blue to go with the pink, red and yellow roses. Also Alyssum, cerastium (snow in summer), Stachys (lambs ear), Erigeron, and if you want an attractive onion type plant, Tulbaghia (Society Garlic) comes in variegated and grey leafed and flowers for months a mauve colour.
Try not to plant to close to the base of the roses as free air movement helps to prevent diseases. Good luck!
Reply:I always think that an old-fashioned perennial garden with a few roses looks much nicer than a strict rose garden. But whatever you decide, plants in the onion/garlic family can help prevent pests like aphids. There are lots of nice flowers in this family, but chives are cheap and the purple flowers will go nicely if you have lots of pink roses.
Reply:Remember you will be pruning those roses as well as fertilizing several times a year. The suggestion not to plant close to the rose is good from the point you'll be stepping on things and hoeing them up as you fertilize.
Roses can grow quite large so allow enough room. Roses need good air circulation to reduce disease problems, so don't cram stuff in there.
One public rose garden is noted for planting delphiniums in with their roses. I always thought that a strange but also striking combination.
Roses bloom in a 40 day schedule so you'll have periods of great bloom and then periods where things are less abundant. Good thinking to have something around.
Finally, get some graph paper and plot out your garden. Quickly you'll discover 150 square feet won't hold all you want to grow. It is all gardener's dilemma.
Reply:You can plant baby's breath and garlic. The garlic will help controll bugs and the baby's breath just add's beauty. And you will also have filler for when you cut your roses.
Reply:you can also plant jasmine
Reply:I have a rose bush and a gardenia bush in my garden and they both have a beautiful smell and are so pretty when both are in bloom.
Reply:star jasmine, gerber daisies, gazinias, anything low to provide color to the lower part of the garden.
Reply:Roses look great by themselves. I prefer a white rock ground cover only. Whatever you decide, you need to make sure other plants are not to close to the roses because the roses need alot of room. Check out the these two web sites for more info

Roses love banana peels. Lay the peel just under the surface of the soil and give it plenty of water. Try not to wet the leaves when you water.
Reply:Tropicana is still catalogued as having a "heavy raspberry fragrance"; %26amp; "heavy, fruity fragrance" after its introduction 30 yrs ago: Brandy as having a "strong, spicy tea fragrance"; Modern Roses 10 presents Abracadabra as "very fragrant"; Barbara Bush as possessing a "heavy damask"; Brigadoon as "moderate spice"; Glory Days as "fragrant". Lemon Spice, Typhoo Tea, Sweet Afton, Double Delight, Sutter's Gold, Fragrant Cloud, Jadis, Blue Ribbon, Patsy Cline, Marmalade, Mary Lynn, %26amp; even the old Polly are heavily fragrant "modern" roses.

Reply:don't matter what rose you plant.... if the soil won't keep it growing healthy and happy you've lost the battle already.... talk to the Rosarians or the GardenClub or the Extension office near you and find out what soil is good for roses in your area..... I have heavy clay and my roses hated it until I found out how to ammend it so they'd like it..... you must start out with the very best soil and drainage you can possibly give them, to have them grow their best for you......
Reply:I have grown roses for years, and Don't care for the hybrid teas as a general rule, they are too fussy--always got black spot or powdery mildew, need too much care and sometimes don't have any smell at all. I prefer rugosa roses, antique roses, and the Canadians. The antique varieties have wonderful scents. Some of them are susceptible to the afore-mentioned problems, but by and large they are the best of the roses. They aren't perfect hybrid tea rose shapes, but are more blossomy and full-blown, some cabbagey-shaped, but they are wonderful. The musk roses, perpetuals, bourbons, and more can be found in this catalog; take a look at them and other roses here and get an idea of them:

Reply:Im also new at growing roses but i have tryed a few David Austin Roses and they so far after a couple years seem real hardy and not alot of maintanance and smell great. I hope this helps
Reply:Mean ol Mama gave you some good advice. Whatever kind of roses you choose make sure you prepare your beds right and plant right. It will save you in the future. Your beds should be raised above the normal soil level by something like 10-14 inches. Roses like to have plenty of water but don't like "wet feet". This is especially true if your soil is a clay based but imporant anywhere. I spray the area I'm going to till 3-4 weeks before I plant with something like Roundup or generic. Then spray again to kill anything that wasn't killed the first time. Follow directions on the container.
After tilling I amend the soil with good compost and till that in. Water well when planting and apply fertilizer if you so desire then plant the roses. I then cover the bed with several (9-10) layers of newspaper and wet it down. If you perfer you can purchase black ground cloth for this. I then cover the whole thing with 3" wood chips or any type of mulch you chose.
If you plant anything but "Earthkind" roses, be prepared to spray for insects and fungus at least every 7-10 days during any weather that is above 40 deg.
Roses, except for the Earthkind varieties are a lot of work but if you have the time and energy they can be very satisfying.
The advice to contact your local societies or Extension Service is also very good. They will have lots of information on growing roses.

How many rows of floor seats at the rose garden?
I'm wondering how many rows of floor seats are at the Rose Garden Arena.
See this seating chart http://www.2-tickets.com/venues/RoseGard...
It doesn't list the number of rows.
How many rows of floor seats at the rose garden?
call up the box office
Reply:It's never really the same, it's usually around 20 rows, but I've been to some concerts where they're too lazy to even set up folding chairs, so people can just crowd around the stage if they have floor seats. More commonly, they have seats, haha.

I want a large rose garden in my back yard...are roses harder to grow/maintain?
Are they expensive to grow/maintain?
I want a large rose garden in my back yard...are roses harder to grow/maintain?
no
4 ingredients:
1. roses
2. water
3. mild to morderate sunlight
4. nutrition (miracle grow for flowers is just fine)
Reply:They are in need of good maintenance, pruning, fertilizing, aerating the soil, pest control. But the rewards are a yard full of beautiful buds and opening blooms making the air filled with perfume like fragrance.
Reply:They're easy.. Throw the plant towards the ground, kick some dirt over it, then pee on it... (You know, keep that Ph level right)
beautiful flowers in a week, guaranteed!
Reply:I don't know where you are, but l live in the desert and roses are very easy to grow here. Regular water is all they need and a once a week good soak is all. They do need to be pruned, but if you get shrub roses they don't even need that unless they get in your way. We don't have any problems with disease or fungus in the desert. I never use pesticides because you want a few aphids to feed the ladybugs that will keep all the bad bugs away. Hybrid tea roses have some great fragrance, but I try to plant mostly miniature or shrub roses since they need practically no care. I have added a link to a great place of ordering roses online. I've had wonderful luck with their roses.
Reply:They are quite hardy but the humidity and rain produce fungus on the leaves. When you water them don't water the leaves. just wet the ground real good. Spray them weekly and they should be fine.
Reply:The area needs to have good drainage, lotsa sunlight for most of the day, lotsa fertilizer, lotsa weeding/feeding. Depending on your current locationor growing zone, the subzero roses are the best! Depends also, if you want schrubs, tea roses(single roses), floribunda(many blooms), fish heads are a great way to fertilize roses.
Reply:They aren't hard to grow or maintain, some of the specialized foods can be pricey, but it's not outrageous. Also, there are a few different types of roses, some are hardier than others (weather, disease, etc). The only problem I have with growing roses is that deer LOVE them. I live in a rural area and deer eat everything here, but if you're not out in the country, you shouldn't have too many problems once you decide what roses are right for your area.
Reply:I don't know how hard they are to get started but I have one that grows under my bedroom window that was there when I bought the house and I cant kill it. I have chopped it down, and mowed it down, I have used to weed eater to cut it straight down to the dirt and it wont die. I have even tried dumping cooking grease on it and it don't hurt it. So if you can get it started I would say they would be pretty easy to maintain.
Reply:There are some hardier roses being cultivated. Be sure and read up on the type and needs of each rose you buy.
I see roses as the gentle southern lady who puts the back of her hand on her forehead and swoons. They need perfect conditions to be perfectly healthy. You have to watch them for mildew, aphids, black spots. They need sunlight. You should feed them so they are optimally healthy. They need a lot of space, as they need the air around them to circulate well. Although we purchased hardy roses, they seem to need a lot of attention to look really great.
They're beautiful and ours are very fragrant, but they aren't like some flowers and plants that you can basically ignore once you plant them.
Reply:i dont think so I use fish guts and bones and stuff around mine egg shells they love. I planted some of those bush ones this year and they look great. I plan on moving and so I will start over with more. good luck. I think roses are easy watch for beetles!! put seven on them if they come. hateful things. I usually buy lady bugs for them.
Reply:If you want to have a rose garden you might want to consider buying Knockout Roses. These roses are awesome. they bloom all year, they are decease resistant and bug proof. also try Nearly Wild, Martha Gonzalez, Old Blush or even Home run. These roses dont have to much of a fragrance but they bloom a lot!!! Mainly try not to water at night because thats when most roses are more prone to get a fungus. try to water early in the mornings. Roses like to be fertilize at least once a month but the ones mentioned above are pretty much carefree. hybrid roses are going to need more care than most. antiques are pretty hardy but the flowers are small. if you want check out Knockout Rose.Com Good Luck!!

They're beautiful and ours are very fragrant, but they aren't like some flowers and plants that you can basically ignore once you plant them.
Reply:i dont think so I use fish guts and bones and stuff around mine egg shells they love. I planted some of those bush ones this year and they look great. I plan on moving and so I will start over with more. good luck. I think roses are easy watch for beetles!! put seven on them if they come. hateful things. I usually buy lady bugs for them.
Reply:If you want to have a rose garden you might want to consider buying Knockout Roses. These roses are awesome. they bloom all year, they are decease resistant and bug proof. also try Nearly Wild, Martha Gonzalez, Old Blush or even Home run. These roses dont have to much of a fragrance but they bloom a lot!!! Mainly try not to water at night because thats when most roses are more prone to get a fungus. try to water early in the mornings. Roses like to be fertilize at least once a month but the ones mentioned above are pretty much carefree. hybrid roses are going to need more care than most. antiques are pretty hardy but the flowers are small. if you want check out Knockout Rose.Com Good Luck!!
How are Blazer games at the Rose Garden?
How is that arena?Pretty good place to watch hoops?
How are Blazer games at the Rose Garden?
I've been going since 1994. It is a good place to watch games and their isn't a 'bad' seat in the house. Even from the nosebleeds you can see, unlike some places like in Chicago. Blazer fans tend to be a bit quieter than those in larger cities and a bit too polite at times, but when they are playing well and winning (as in 2000) the Rose Garden was crazy loud. Should be like that again soon! Go Blazers!
Reply:Last year, I went to see the Blazers play the Pacers, and at one point, during the game, the arena was DEAD SILENT!!! However, that's not always the case. People tend to come more when the weather gets nicer (March, April) and the fact that the team is getting better brings in more people. Our attendance improved simply because we drafted Brandon Roy, and apparently season tickets are selling fast with the acquisition of Oden and Co. To answer your question, the atmosphere is awesome in March-April, and the team is very entertaining; the second most entertaining in the NBA, IMO. And a steal on seats are the 50 dollar seats in the 2nd level behind the basket (lower bowl) :)
Reply:This year should be better than the last two. The games are not too bad, but IMO not as exciting as U of Oregon games in the Pit.
At the Blazer games there is a huge difference between the last few years and the games in the old Memorial Coliseum or the early Rose Garden years when the team was really good. Back then, there was a real energy at the games and it was like a rock concert -- the noise and how your head kind of rang. Now, it's not really like that very often.
The reasonably prices seats (300 level) seem pretty far away and when it is quiet, it's worse than watching on TV. The good seats (200 and 100 levels) are a lot better. If the game is close and the team is playing well, it is fun. If they blow out a team or get blown out, it is kind of boring.

I have just started a rose garden, and I would like secrets or tips to "old timer" care and love for my roses
any suggestions such as, my grannie used to use cornmeal, sugar and can't remember what else, and her mind is getting kind of forgetful.
Thank you

Spreading coffee ground under your roses is very good, too. It seems to literally "boost" the roses.
As you just started your rose garden and are looking for "old timer" tips, this may be a good website for you:
Reply:1 part full cream milk with 9 parts water is good as a fungal spray. Liquid seaweed with water is great too. Don't plant the roses too close, about 3-4 foot apart is good. The best thing you can do is have good hygiene in the garden. Dip your secateurs/pruners in bleach between cutting roses and destroy any prunings or black-spotted leaves to stop any spreading of disease.
Reply:Do you or your neighbors have a barbecue? Get ALL of the ashes you can, and spread those under the roses and water them in ... you won't need to use any other 'food' and the roses will have nice leaves and AMAZING flowers ... and best of all, it's FREE ... put ashes down at least once every two weeks through the 'budding and blooming' but stop in the fall so the plants can 'rest' and be pruned next spring.
Reply:I don't know too many old type tips but found the following web site to have tons of information: cutting, watering, top scented, ones that tolerate shade etc.

Can l transplant roses to form a new rose garden this time of year?
in melbourne. how to best prepare the bed with which products? should i prune them back heavily first? any other suggestions? thanks
Can l transplant roses to form a new rose garden this time of year?
Melbourne? So you are just heading into Spring, right? I don't know what your temperatures are like right now, but if you give your roses extra TLC, they should come out just fine.
As with any woody perennial it is always best to wait until hibernation to transplant, but I transplant my roses throughout the growing season and I haven't lost one yet.
Here are instructions to help you transplant successfully.
Transplanting a rose
1) wait until evening when temps are cooler.
2) cut the rose back to about 2 or 3 feet.
3) prepare the new home by digging a hole 2ftx2ft and water the hole. Fill the hole with water and let it drain at least twice.
4) save the top 2/3 of soil that you just dug up and set aside. Discard the bottom 1/3.
5) amend the soil you saved with peat, bone meal, and garden compost.
6) in the bottom of the hole add a layer of manure 2-3 inches thick and then layers some of the amended soil on top of the manure. Do NOT set the roots directly on the manure.
7) use a shovel to cut around the rose bush about 18inches from the trunk all the way around.
8) Moving around the rose bush again, reinsert the shovel and pull down on the handle. Doing this all the way around will loosen the soil and begin to separate any long roots. Keep doing this until the rose can be easily removed (Don't worry too much if you break a root because roses are tougher than they look)
9) Remove the rose. At this point it is best to keep as much of the origional soil around the roots as possible since it is spring. If you move it in the fall you can shake the soil away and trim any damaged or dying roots.
10) set the rose in hole making sure the soil on the root ball is a little above the level of the new hole. You want the rose to be on a small mound.
11) fill in the hole half way with the ammended soil and water. Once the water has run through then finish filling in the hole with the soil and water throughly.
Now that you have transplanted your rose then make sure you give it water everyday for the next 2 weeks. Be sure you water it at the base and early in the morning because roses don't like to get wet. After the two weeks then you can cut back the watering to once a week.
Good Luck

I just found a catapilar in my rose garden. How do i keep it and watch it molt?
I would like to know if it needs sun, water, food, etc....
I just found a catapilar in my rose garden. How do i keep it and watch it molt?
Ooh! I just finished raising caterpillars.
First, you must find out what kind of bug it will turn into. If it's hairy or has fur, it'll be a moth. If it's mostly smooth, it'll be a butterfly.
Some caterpillars eat only one type of plant. Do an internet search using its colors and hopefully you will find it's species. Or go to your library and find a book about butterflies/moths.
So, once you find out what kind of bug it is, get a large enough jar to keep it in. A large pickle or applesauce jar will too. Don't underestimate how much room they need. Discard the lid. Secure a tissue with a rubber band over the lid and poke holes into it.
You will have to supply them with food. When they're little, once everyother day is enough. But soon you'll have to feed them everyday. One or two leaves will do. They will eat the entire time that they are awake, so if it runs out of food, get some fresh stuff. They preffer young, fresh leaves.
Cleaning is done every other day, or accordingly. They poop ALOT. Take it out of the jar and rinse the jar. Make sure to dry it with a towel or tissue. Do not let it get moist.
Provide a stick for it to crystalize or cocoon on. And when they are making their cocoon or crysalis, DO NOT disturb them.
This will only take three or four weeks, five tops. But this late in the year, your bug may not come out of its crysalis until spring. Basicall,y all you need to do now is find out what type it is and be gentle with it.
Good luck. Take pictures. You'll have fun watching it grow.
Reply:place in a large gal jar with holes in lid...place tree or bush branches in jar like in the wild....place a variety as the eat different kinds mist daily with a fine mist of water and place where it gets sun light but not direct as it will get to hot in jar...hope it works..
Reply:idk, when i was little and used to catch bugs lol i would stick them in like one of those special bug jars (like they sell them at the dollar store and they have air holes and stuff) and then i would like stick a twig and leaves and stuff in there and just like leave it on my porch.

What is the meaning of the song "Rose Garden"?
Who is talking? the lover or "love" itself? What I mean is, is it the lover who is not promising the rose garden or is it love who is not promising the rose garden? or neither? :-)
What is the meaning of the song "Rose Garden"?
Lynn Anderson (1971)
----------------------------
I beg your pardon,
I never promised you a rose garden.
Along with the sunshine,
There's gotta be a little rain sometimes.
When you take, you gotta give, so live and let live,
Or let go.
I beg your pardon,
I never promised you a rose garden.
----------------------------------
The singer is singing to his girlfriend, wife,spouse,significant other.
The narrator explains to his/her lover that though their relationship is not perfect, they should be grateful for the good and accept the bad along with it
Another website reports that another singer included the song in her album in 2005 and the song took off again in the charts but not with the same success in 1971.
Reply:You might like "Soul Mates and Twin Flames," Elizabeth Clare Prophet, and "Sexual Force or the Winged Dragon," O. M. Aivanhov.
Sometimes it seems like love is talking to the singer.
Reply:The lover is talking, but she is also making a statement about love. People are not perfect; we make mistakes that hurt our love for one another. So, she is saying that she never promised him that all would be roses because she knows that everything cannot always be forever good in love. Inevitably, there is also some bad.

How do I kill weeds and grass in my rose garden?
I'm afraid to use ROUND-UP or ORTHO-WEED KILLER because they may destroy my beautiful roses.
How do I kill weeds and grass in my rose garden?
Either one of those products will work fine.Just make sure you spray it on a calm day.They will only kill what they touch.They don't leech into the soil.Put the tip of the sprayer next to the weed and spray.You can also drench a sponge with it and just wipe it across the weeds.It will soak into the weeds down to the roots.
Reply:Put on gloves and pull them out. Then put down mulch to keep new ones from sprouting.
Reply:If you have a small rose garden, organic mulch and hand weeding are the best way to eliminate weeds.
Monsanto's Round-Up and similar products that employ glyphosate are absorbed through a plant's foliage. If you are very careful and avoid letting the glyphosate spray drift onto rose foliage, you'll find that glyphosate is a very herbicide effective in the rose garden.

Reply:Unfortunately you are going to have to pull the weeds and you will have to dig the grass out . Once that is done put down some kind of mulch, what ever you like. Then buy Preen for weeds. It is the best thing i have ever used.You can buy it at most stores and Lowe's,Home Depot stores. But it only works once you get all the weeds out. Now with that said you will still get weeds, but not as many, and when you go to pull them out they come out reallllllly easy. I have been gardening for forty some years and believe me i use to spend 2 days every spring cleaning up the weeds. i would have a trash can and 3 or 4 lawn bags to haul to the curb.But since i started using preen i might get one of those plastic grocery bags half full of weeds in the spring. I put Preen down in the spring , then again in the fall around Sept.Good luck .

How do I prepare a rose garden in sandy soil?
Soil is very sandy. I love roses and have some to plant. I know that I have to add compost etc to the soil but what else do I do?
How do I prepare a rose garden in sandy soil?
Peat Moss add it to your mixture and feed the roses with Blood meal also they like a little Epson salt. If you have any evergreen they really like the Epson salt. In both cases just sprinkel a couple handfuls around the plants and water well. Water either in the early morning or in the late afternoon as the water on the leaves in the hot sun will burn the leaves.
Reply:I agree. Sandy soil means good drainage which most plants desire. Add lots of compost before planting; Gromulch, soil conditioner, or any kind of planter mix you can find. Add more than you think. Either spread it all around the whole area and shovel turn it in or just add it to the individual holes. This will help you soil retain water as to not drain away so fast. And you won't have to water as long or as often. Composted horse manure mulch is a fabulous top dressing for roses too!
Good luck :-)
Reply:I agree with these girls,
DRAINAGE is very important, especially in sandy soil,
and they don't like to compete with a bunch of other bushes
and stuff growing around them. Lots of sun.
Reply:Sandy soil should be great---most important thing for roses is a big hole to fit them into. Also, not planting them near a tree, as they can't compete with tree-roots for water %26amp; nourishment. Dig the biggest hole you can to place your roses in---center them on a mound of good soil and peat moss, and be sure that the "join" on the rosebush (the knobby part) isn't covered by soil, and is just above ground-level. Be sure there aren't air-pockets in the hole as you back-fill it. Roses need full sun, ventilation around them to keep down disease, and very good watering once a week.

I want to start a rose garden. How do I begin and with what kind of roses?
1. You begin by testing the soil where they will be and then add the necessary amenities. The soil preparation is very critical.
2. The roses you choose should be the ones that are best in your climate. Once you find the roses that grow best in your climate, choose from those. Personally, I like ones with a lot of fragrance and that climb along my fence.
3.Once they are established they are fairly hardy and take light regualar maintenance.
I want to start a rose garden. How do I begin and with what kind of roses?
I strongly suggest Jackson and Perkins roses. They are the best, and have a system of trade if the roses do badly.
Check out the area you live in for the biggest problem for roses and be prepared. Japanese beetles can destroy a rose bush in under a day if not controled. Black Spot will kill a rose in a season.
These are easy to deal with, if you start off on the right foot. Roses are NOT hard to grow! Keep them trimmed back though. Nothing is more sad that a spiny, thin rose bush that isn't cared for.
Best of luck!
Reply:Roses come in all shapes, sizes, colors and ease of care. There are roses that require weekly spraying with fungicides to look their best, and, just as importantly, there are roses that can flourish with little or no care. In a way, roses are like cars when it comes to the amount of trouble they are. There are cars that are very expensive, very fast and very temperamental. Not everyone can own a Porsche or a Ferrari. Not everyone wants to own such cars. It takes an inclination to tinker, a knowledgeable mechanic and lots of money to fall in love with some models of cars. And lots of time.
But it is also possible to latch onto a reliable car that, with minimal care, will last 100,000 miles. And so it is with roses.
The purpose of this article is to talk to you about some easy to grow roses that anyone putting in their first garden can successfully grow--and be proud of. Roses that take minimal care to produce maximum results. Roses for people who have never grown roses before. And roses that will cause your neighbors to come over to see how you are doing it.
Texas A%26amp;M has a continuing research project to find these roses. The roses that make the cut get their "EarthKind" designation. The process they go through to find these roses is interesting. First, they asked rose growers for the names of easy to care for roses. They then planted several examples of the roses in test gardens around the state. They did not water the roses. They did not fertilize the roses. They did not prune the roses. They did not even spray the roses--for insects or for fungus. And, believe it or not, some roses did fine under this intentional neglect. These are the roses that earned the EarthKind designation. Now, I am not recommending you just plant these roses and walk away. But these are roses that will survive if you do that. And they will flourish if you give them just minimal care.
What do I mean by minimal care? Plant them where they get a minimum of six hours of sun. Eight is better. Full sun is best. Give them an inch of water a week. Plant them in raised beds. Add three or four inches of mulch to the top of the rosebed. Try to fertilize them a couple of times a year with organic fertilizer. Sit back and relax (and read the rest of my webpages on rose growing).
Below is an alphabetical list of the EarthKind roses, with my comments.
Reply:go to a local garden store, they can help you a lot more than anybody here can as they would be near where you live and want to start the garden and can tell you what kinds of roses grow best in the climate where you live.
Reply:as a master gardener, your best bet just starting out go with "double Delights" they are tri colored and beautiful. Buy from a gardening cataolog most purchases that way are gaurenteed. Dont buy from chain stores or grocery no telling how long thevye been there and how dried out they can be. Follow the instructions on planting and care when you recieve them

2. The roses you choose should be the ones that are best in your climate. Once you find the roses that grow best in your climate, choose from those. Personally, I like ones with a lot of fragrance and that climb along my fence.
3.Once they are established they are fairly hardy and take light regualar maintenance.
I want to start a rose garden. How do I begin and with what kind of roses?
I strongly suggest Jackson and Perkins roses. They are the best, and have a system of trade if the roses do badly.
Check out the area you live in for the biggest problem for roses and be prepared. Japanese beetles can destroy a rose bush in under a day if not controled. Black Spot will kill a rose in a season.
These are easy to deal with, if you start off on the right foot. Roses are NOT hard to grow! Keep them trimmed back though. Nothing is more sad that a spiny, thin rose bush that isn't cared for.
Best of luck!
Reply:Roses come in all shapes, sizes, colors and ease of care. There are roses that require weekly spraying with fungicides to look their best, and, just as importantly, there are roses that can flourish with little or no care. In a way, roses are like cars when it comes to the amount of trouble they are. There are cars that are very expensive, very fast and very temperamental. Not everyone can own a Porsche or a Ferrari. Not everyone wants to own such cars. It takes an inclination to tinker, a knowledgeable mechanic and lots of money to fall in love with some models of cars. And lots of time.

Im planting a rose garden & the area only gets about 4 hrs of sunlight. Will my roses grow or just stay as is?
the area does get about 4 hours of full sunlight and i know that the roses wont die if they dont have full sunlight all day long but i also want them to grow and not stay little.
Im planting a rose garden %26amp; the area only gets about 4 hrs of sunlight. Will my roses grow or just stay as is?
Well, there are shade tolerant roses out there. As for staying little, plants in shade tend to reach out for the sun so they won't be stunted.
Here are some that I know of:
Clair Matin
Cornelia
Excellenz von Schubert
Golden Showers
Gruss an Aachen
Mary Rose
Pink Knock Out
Rainbow’s End
Rosa chinensis 'Mutabilis'
Sally Holmes
The Fairy
Zéphirine Drouhin

Hope this helps you. Just a little note, I have a friend who is a landscaper. Just happens that she lives in the oak forest but LOVES roses. She loves them so much that she plants them all over her yard and they are suprisingly doing well. She just takes any that she likes and sees what happens. Generally they grow taller than normal because they are "stretching" but they do flower and are not diseased. It's really a nice surprise. Now, these are not ideal conditions but just shows how resilient plants are.
Good luck!
Reply:If you only have 4 hours of sun, I would avoid the modern hybrid tea roses. Instead, go for hybrid musk roses which bloom well with less sun. Check out the link below for some varieties. You might have to mail order them as they are hard to locate in local nurseries.
Reply:I have a beautiful rose bush in an area that gets four hours of sun. The condition of the soil will be an important factor in how well your rose does with less sun. Give it optimal conditions and it will be okay.
Reply:The roses won't die, but they won't flower as much as if they were in full sun all day. The risk of black-spot and mildew may increase also.
Reply:I have roses in my side yard (between houses) that doesn't get 8 hours of light, they are not spectacular, but they do OK. (Now if I can just figure out whats eating the leaves......:)
Reply:Most roses need at least 8 hours of sunlight per day.
Reply:The plants need more light. The flowers grow on the canes exposed to sun.

My question is about roses bushes. This mornig I went out to my rose garden and found every bush broken.?
The branches were either missing altogether or lying close by the plant. Some of the roses have most of their leaves missing. They were beautiful yesterday. What could have done this. I cannon imagine a animal eating a rose because of the thorns. The only other plant in the garden is my lilly.

How can you kill thistle? I can't seem to get rid of the stuff and it's in my rose garden?
I would like to find a way to get rid of it with out harming my rose bushes.
How can you kill thistle? I can't seem to get rid of the stuff and it's in my rose garden?
i have heard from one answer suggesting that to use Round Up and a small paint brush. try to get between the branches of the rose bush and paint the leaves of th thistles wthout painting the rose bush.
Round Up will kill or injure what ever else it touches. once the thistles have died then dig them up. u have to get the whole root or they will just sprout up again.
i might use tha myself as i have the same problem. i'm located next to a park and thistles seam to blow in constantly from there, every week i'm pulling them out from some where.
good luck.
Reply:there's only one really effective way, dig it out roots and all, do this before the seed heads appear you may have to do it a few times but eventually it will disappear.
Reply:By all means dig roots and all some are real deep, and also be sure to destroy dug up weed and throw away in garbage not on ground don't compose.. gl

Can you picnic in the Tyler Municipal Rose Garden?
I am going to the Rose Garden in Tyler Texas tomorrow and was wondering if there was a place to sit and eat if its allowed. I have been there once before a couple years ago, but we ate at a nearby restaurant. Thanks for helpful answers!

There are picnic areas and extensive hiking trails. Bring plenty of water, it's supposed to be real humid tomorrow.

How do I put a rose garden to bed in the fall?
Last year I put over a foot of leaves over it but my Circus Rose died along with most of the mini roses.I dont want this to happen again this year because I'm planting more in the same place
How do I put a rose garden to bed in the fall?
I know that when I put a deep cover of leaves over my tea rose bushes, the leaf cover must have gotten wet and stayed wet or something, because the rosebushes died and never did come back. Maybe the burlap would keep the water from soaking in and wilting/rotting the bushes?
Reply:What part of the country do you live in? If you are in the northern part of the US you may want to trim back in the fall and cover with the styrafoam covers that they make for roses.
Reply:the answer is geographically dependent
Reply:Pack them in leaves like you did but this time cover them with burlap. you would be surprised how effective this is.

just an occasional bit of maintenance.
i ahve 5 and they take care of themselves.

I am wanting to plant a rose garden.....What type of roses should I plant?
I have a flower garden that is full sun. I was told that roses could handle the sun. Is there a certain type of rose that I should plant??
I am wanting to plant a rose garden.....What type of roses should I plant?
It really depends on your soil type. Try English roses or the heirloom varieties. They are the easiest to grow and maintain. Remember to cut off the flowers as they die and before they form hips so the roses will continue to bloom throughout the season. Japanese beetles find roses delicious, so be prepared. Trim back any branches that are thinner than a pencil, because they can't support a blossom and will cause the branches to "droop" and grow weak blooms. Good luck!
Oh...and an aside....while I was touring gardens in Paris, I noticed that gardeners there would often grow herbs with roses and let the herbs choke out weeds. I thought it was both extremely clever and space efficient and have done the same thing in my rose garden. Thyme, mint, lemon balm and oregano all work very well.

Reply:plant the ones that smell good. don't plant any of the ones that smell like a thong. those are gross.
Reply:just go to the nursery and choose whatever roses you like. flowers like to be fertilized so get that fertilizer that looks like little rocks. its a time release fertilizer. add like a quarter spoon of fertilizer like every three weeks and they'll look great. I use the miracle grow all purpose time release fertilizer for all my flowers and citrus trees and it works great. don't put it too close to the trunk though . spread the fertilizer around.
Reply:I have found from experience that climbing roses and the Floribunda varieties are quite hardy. I only have to spray twice a season and fertilize 3times and they do beautifully. Check out Jackson Perkins catalog or website; they have a great selection and they will replace them if they die. Good luck!
Reply:Most roses need full sun, so you've got the necessary sun exposure. As far as what types of roses to plant, there are 2 main considerations.
The first is: what do you like? What colors appeal to you? Do you like fewer really large flowers (hybrid teas) or more but smaller flowers (floribundas)? Is scent important to you? Do you want a climbing rose (which will need a trellis, fence, or other support) or a bush rose, which will stand on its own.
The other consideration is what roses grow well in your area. Some roses that do well in a climate with hot days and warm nights won't do as well for those of us who live in an area with moderate day temperatures and cool foggy nights. So do a bit of research. Look around your neighborhood for healthy looking rose bushes that look attractive to you. Ask the homeowner if they know what variety of rose it is. Most gardeners are happy to talk about their plants, and they might even offer you a cutting to start your own plant. And stop by a local independent plant nursery. Lowe's, Home Depot, and the other chains tend to carry the same roses in Michigan as they do in Nevada, and their staff is generally not as knowledgeable as the smaller locally-owned plant stores. So go to a local independent flower nursery and tell them what you are looking for in a rose They can make appropriate recommendations.
One of the main reasons people garden is for pleasure, so choose a rose that is suited to your area and that pleases you.
Reply:I would go to a web site that has rose's and look to see which rose's appeal to you there are so many different rose's but two things I would look for are fragrant rose's because some rose's do not smell at all and look for Floribundas rose's these rose's provide an almost constant show of flowers during the growing season.

I am thinking of starting a rose garden and would like to know if they need to be planted in a sunny area.?
Yes, at least an area that gets 6 full hours of sun a day, I am fairly new to gardening but I am learning as a go and i will also tell you not to wet their leaves, this is the cause of black spot, a spreading bacterial disease.It tends to spread in wet muggy weather, so if the weather is predicting this, spray ur roses with a fungicide, If i had read up on this before my roses would of been better protected. Black spot will never go away bit it can be controlled. I have come to find out that they are very sensitive. Sevens dust for the insects as well. Works great! Check out some websites about care for roses. Good luck! If you are opting for a climbing rose, try Cecile Brunner Polyantha Rose, blooms all season, I love mine! Knockout roses or "double" knockout roses are great and easy to take care of.
Reply:I live in Northern CA and am the last house on the block, next to an open field, hence NO shade i hade roses and they love it at my house!!!
I feed mine about every 3 weeks.
Here are a few tips:
There are several different types of rose, meaning not just color but the way they grow, there are some that
bushy, thorny, tall etc. so make sure you do your research before getting your roses (I didn't know that when I planted my garden) There also beautiful rose trees and mini roses trees, and carpet rose that only grow 3 feet tall and spread out, very pretty.
Biggest tip of ALL
Before you plant your roses, take your small cutter and cut ALL the thorn off the bottom and as far up as you want, they will NEVER grow back on the main stock only on new growth, so when you weed you don't get attacked by your roses!
This also good if you have pets, as the thorns can not poke them in the eye.
Good luck and have fun!!!
Reply:where are you? that makes a difference. Roses are not shade plants, some are bred for partial shade, but it is relative to your climate... Connecticut is not California..
Drip irrigation is best. they don't like their leaves wet. they need pruning in winter, they love steer manure, Best time to plant (depending where you are is winter-Ca or early spring CT....
Reply:Roses like lots of sun but morning sun is better than hot afternoon sun for most plants. Roses also need a lot of TLC (tender loving care) in order to look really good, so you better study up some before you start planting. Besides there are so many different types of roses with different needs and some will be just right for you.
Reply:I started my rose garden three yrs ago, and most of them require partial shade, but not all roses grow well under partial sun, you need to check what kind of roses you have, or plan to buy and research the name on the net.
But like i said, most roses will do well on partial sun.
Reply:Most varieties need at least 5 hours of sun per day if you want lots of flowers and less black-spot and mildew issues.
Reply:Yes roses need sunlight to help them open up.

My daughter wants to see the princesses this time, we couldn't find them last time. I heard they were in the Rose Garden. Where is that located? How do you know where the other characters will be as well? Thank you in advance
Where is the Rose Garden located in the Magic Kingdom?
The rose garden is to the right of the castle. but seeing the princesses is simple. Go to the Judges tent in at Toon Town Fair they are always there. You can also eat breakfast with them at many a restaurant.
Reply:I don't think the princesses are in the rose garden. You can find where the characters are here: http://allears.net/tp/mk/mk_char.htm
You can always ask cast members where they will be and how to get there, or pick up a times guide when you enter the park.
Reply:It is on the right next to Cinderella's castle in the center of the park. Ask any cast member and they will be able to tell you exactly when and where Cinderella will be.
Reply:If you are facing the castle it is on the right you will see there is a walkway that goes down to a metal gazebo. After the stage shows some characters stand here for photo autograph.

Can you tell me a quotation from "I Never Promised You a Rose Garden" ?
I want a quotation about this character "Deborah Blau" from I never promised you a rose garden, that accurately describes the character.Thanks.
Can you tell me a quotation from "I Never Promised You a Rose Garden" ?
Heres an excerpt.. theres others but the second paragraph seems apt.Good luck.
Deborah sat down, while the Censor said in Yri: Listen, Bird-one; there are too many little tables in here. The tables have no defense against your clumsiness.
"Do you know why you are here?" the doctor said.
"Clumsiness. Clumsiness is first and then we have a list: lazy, wayward, headstrong, self-centered, fat, ugly, mean, tactless, and cruel. Also a liar. That category includes subheads: (a) False blindness, imaginary pains causing real doubling-up, untrue lapses of hearing, lying leg injuries, fake dizziness, and unproved and malicious malingerings; (b) Being a bad sport. Did I leave out unfriendliness?...Also unfriendliness."
In the silence where the dust motes fell through the sun shaft, Deborah thought that she had perhaps spoken her true feelings for the first time. If these things were so, so be it, and she would leave this office at least having stated her tiredness and disgust at the whole dark and anguish-running world.
The doctor said simply, "Well, that seems to be quite a list. Some of these, I think, are not so, but we have a job cut out for us."
"To make me friendly and sweet and agreeable and happy in the lies I tell.''
'To help you to get well."
"To shut up the complaints."
"To end them, where they are the products of an upheaval in your feelings."
Reply:I know the song....I never promised you a rose garden...along with the sunshine...there's got to be a little rain sometimes. When you take you got to give so live and let live...
Reply:I never heard it by her but,here is a couple lyrics. You got to live and let live. Still waters run deep. Ibeg your pardon.You better look beforeyou leap. Along with the sunshine you have to take a litte rain sometimes.

Wanting to do a nice rose Garden?
Hi over a year ago i lost my mum and im wanting to to a real nice rose garden/backyard, reason being my mum loved roses, im wanting it for like a memory thing somewhere i can go and sit in piecse and think of good times.
Any tips for me?
Wanting to do a nice rose Garden?
You didn't say what type of budget you have so I will give you the high end deal.
Rope off a 50'x50' circle, build a 6' trellis around outside of circle leaving a 3' space for walkway.
Build 2'deep x 3'wide box around circle inside trellis. Plant climbing roses.
Build 2' deep x 3' side box two feet in from first box and plant standard rose bushes.
build 2' deep x 2' wide box two feet inside second box and plant tea rose bushes.
Rest of circle plant grass.
Plant climbers 4' apart, standards 3' apart and tea's 2 foot apart. Fill boxes completely full with good soil until it compacts down (1st year) Then add dirt to 3/4 way then add mulch the last 1/4.
Water in the morning before 10am unless you use a soaker. Watering later afternoon into night promotes mold and diseases. Feed twice a year, spring and fall, bone meal, 13-13-13 mixture.
Good luck and remember that with beauty comes work
Reply:You should use David Austin roses. They are a wonderful hybrid rose, which means that they were hybridized using old garden roses with standard roses. They are very hearty and bloom throughout the summer. (Most roses will bloom once or twice per summer). Plant in three's. Choose maybe three difft. varieties and plant three of the same variety together (to make a garden of 9 plants)- or larger. What I have done is make a bed of let's say 18 roses- that would give you 6 difft. varieties (I don't care for red, so I would plant pinks, lavender and whites), then I like to plant herbs throughout the bed, and then border this bed with either boxwood, lavender or russian sage- perovskia. The soil prep is very important for roses. It's imp. to till the soil down to a foot and add soil conditioners- well rotted manure, peat moss and lime. Roses do not like "wet feet", so to ensure good soil, it needs to be fine and crumbly. After you plant the roses, (and ask the salesperson to show you the depth they should be planted at- not too deep)- you will make a fairly small circle around the rose and apply fertilizer- scratched in to the soil. Fertilize 3 or 4 x per summer. Also have them advise you as to the pruning. David Austin roses are the easiest to prune and are very hardy. Have Fun.....and enjoy your peaceful and contemplative place in memory of your Mum.
Reply:What a great idea. Hybrid Teas are good. You want to sit in peace and think. What about the rose 'Peace'. Its beautiful with a light scent. The blooms are good for cutting and bringing indoors.
Reply:maybe you can have a circle around the center of the garden. then most of the center would be made of bircks, but there would be an entrance with a white arch that a climbing rose would climb on. then you can have rose bushes surround the outside of the circle, and inside the circle you can put 2 benches and you can sit on the bench and think
Reply:roses are easy to maintain just make sure you water them.correctly best time to water is at night.give them fertilizer that will help them grow healthier and try to feed them miracle grow once a month.

The book I never promised you a rose garden?
For my independent novel in my english class I chose the book I never promised you a rose garden. I need to do a scrapbook project for it showing how the character changes throughout the story through pictures and typed words. How would I do this and what pictures/should I use? Any help is greatly appreciated. Ten points to the best answer!
The book I never promised you a rose garden?
It's been a long time (cubed) since I read this book, but roughly it would be some way to picture this:
A- Reality and fantasy
B- Reality and fantasy
C- Reality and fantasy
Her-Fantasy/reality and fantasy
Using cartoon people sitting around and someone floating off? Or balloons and one is cut loose? Or cartoon people in balloons and one balloon takes off? Or fish swimming at different levels? Or mountain climbers going up the wrong trails, rolling down into valleys? Things operating at different levels.
Show what's causing the disconnection from reality--I can't remember if it was just the illness itself or something happening.)
Then All fantasy. The book has plenty of images for this you could use.
Then Fantasy meeting the hospital.
Then a new balance.

My dream is to grow an incredibly beautiful rose garden. I started this year but I want to be very selective?
with my plants. I bought 3 David Austin "Mary Rose" plants. The flowers I'm choosing are namesakes of people I love that have passed on, a "Grandma's Garden" so to speak. My question? Can I add a few new plants each year until the garden is developed or do you think it should be established at one time?
My dream is to grow an incredibly beautiful rose garden. I started this year but I want to be very selective?
It's just fine to do it little by little. That is how I have put together my rose collection. I have found over the years that it pays to buy only quality roses that have been bred to resist disease. David Austin are great roses and there is a company called heirloom roses that breed their own roses. Both these breeders specialize in own root roses which is optimal as well. I would warn you about the Hybrid Tea. They are beautiful but they are very disease prone, very fragile, and tend to have a short life span. They also tend to loose their graft unions. Anyhow, if you are interested here is the site for Heirloom roses. I purchases four of their roses just this year.

Reply:i'm not sure of the answer,
but too bad you don't have email, I have found some roses that are not known in the US of A
i'm currently trying to get them to take root, I will try to post photos later
Reply:No you can do it a bit at a time, that's what I'm doing. I've filled the spaces with cheap but pretty perennials and other shrubs, and pull them out as I find a rose I want. I've been at it 4 years and nearly done. I think this way you put more thought into placing each one, you look at the garden in summer and think, "Hmm, a peach rose would set off that purple one just right.." or some such thought

What is this stuff growing on the mulch of my rose garden?
There is a substance growing on top of the mulch in my rose garden. It first looks like light mustard or, sorry to be gross, light yellow spots of vomit. they range in size from 6 inch diameter to 12+ inch diameter. At first we thought that an animal may have been sick but the spots keep popping up. They start out looking like a dried liquid and the next day they expand and look like a puffy light yellow foam about half an inch tall. The sun will beat down on them for a day and they dry up and deflate. The whole process only takes a few days. The garden is in full sun in zone 6. Any ideas will be appreciated! Thanks a bunch!!! :)
What is this stuff growing on the mulch of my rose garden?
it's slime mold! harmless and funguscides are ineffective! check out the web site below for more info!
Reply:Sounds like a fungus or mold.
You might want to do a search.
http://www.blingo.com/
Reply:It's called Dog Barf Fungus(really!). It likes mulch. It won't hurt your roses. If you want to get rid of it, you'll need to scoop it out of the mulch. If you just want your bed to look good, you can stir it up into the mulch. Since they do dry out, I wouldn't worry about it.
Reply:It definitely sounds like slime mold. There are about 500 species of the primitive organisms. They contain true nuclei and resemble both protists and fungi.
Reply:It sounds like fungus, many mulches get that. I'm not sure how to get rid of it because I've never had this problem, hopefully someone here will have that answer for you.

Can i plant moss roses in a rose garden as ground cover?
I have a garden full of roses... and was wondering if it would affect the rose bushes to plant moss roses as ground cover?
Can i plant moss roses in a rose garden as ground cover?
I don't see why not. Roses would not be affected by them at all. They could act as a sort of living mulch. What a good idea.
Reply:I would not put moss roses in a rose garden as the roses need to be water 2-3 times a week. deep watering promotes a deep root system .
If roses do not get enough water they will drop leaves, grow smaller leaves or stop blooming.
Moss roses do best in dry situations with a lot of full sun, they are better for beds, for edgings and for rock work.
Moss roses also can get powdery mildew and that would get to your roses.
The moss roses that I have did good in a small bed and that way I could deadhead(pitch off the dead roses) them and it makes them have more roses for the hold summer.
Also at the end of summer if you leave the last roses and let them die they will reseed the bed for next year.
Reply:Not really since rose roots are much deeper. You might want to add some marigolds since they repel some insects.

What can I do while preparing my rose garden to keep ants out?
What can I do while preparing my rose garden to keep ants out? They have killed several roses I've had in pots - even hollowed out some of them!
What can I do while preparing my rose garden to keep ants out?
Not being an expert in the area of this question, this answer will have to be of a generic nature until an expert comes along to improve it.
I would suggest that you get a bag of diatomacious earth from a well stocked garden center, or possibly a farm, feed and seed store.
Diatomaceous earth is a powderlike material made of ground up rock which was formed from the skeletons of millions, billions of microscopic "critters."
Diatomaceous earth comes in several forms, and it is CRITICAL that you get/use the AGRICULTURAL grade material, as the others will not work.
The ground up skeleton dust has millions of sharp edges which abraid or cut the exoskeleton of most insects. They naturally do not like this, so when exposed to this type of diatomacious earth, they try to get away from it. If they don't, and remain exposed to it long enough, it will so damage their hard outer shell/skin [exoskeleton] that they will dehydrate, and die.
Following the directions on the label, and using a "shaker" bottle you make from a clean, large plastic bottle with lots of holes punched somewhere on it, apply a light but uniform coating over your garden area. This should discourage the ants, and other insects also.
In addition, if your plants are attacked by any other insects, you can sprinkle the diatomacious earth all over them, and it will discourage the insects. I do not know about the safety of the roses, but do know that many people for years have used it on their vegetable plants, and it is safe for them, and with rinsing of the fruits or vegetables, safe for human consumption.
When you find a local source for the diatomacious earth, you can ask those selling it about the safety relating to use on your roses. I suspect that there will be no problem. Good luck.

Rose Garden!?
I'd really like to plant a Rose Garden, but what do I start with? I've heard a Rose bush, but can I ge tthose at Lowe's or Wal-mart? And, rose bushes come from somewhere, do they sprout form seeds or what?

Hello Andrea C,
Choosing the Right Rose for your Garden
There are literally hundreds of types of roses that you can grow in your garden. With such a selection to choose from, it can be extremely difficult to choose the rose that’s right for you. To make this task a bit easier, I’ve added some crucial factors that you should consider, and some of the different types of roses to aid in your search.
# Color may seem like a trivial matter, but it is usually a factor to those that want to grow roses. Usually it is simply a matter of personal preference.
# The final growth height of a rose should be considered as it would be unattractive to grow roses that are higher than the area of the garden that it grows in. Some roses can grow to be as high as 20 feet.
# If you live in an area that is prone to cold winters, you would certainly want a rose that could survive during the off season.
# If certain fragrances invoke an allergic reaction, you would want to plant roses that have a softer fragrance than the others.
# You would certainly want to learn what the advantages and disadvantages would be if you were to choose certain roses over others.
# You will want to consider the size of your garden space, so that you can ensure proper exposure to the air and other elements as well.
# If you are hoping to make your roses into bouquets, you will want to know if they can be cut. Hybrid teas can. Some roses will fall apart at the petals if they are cut.
# You should also consider what other types of flowers or plants you intend on adding to the rose’s environment. You want to add plants and flowers that will not create a damaging environment to your rose’s ecosystem.
Reply:Lowes %26amp; Home Depot do carry roses, so does Wal-Mart. In fact the local Wal-Mart here has gotten several varieties in over the last week. All different kinds and sizes as well as prices. I shop at all 3 for mine. You can go to a nursery, but they charge much higher prices for the same basic stuff.
P.S. One of those garden gurus on a DIY show recommended putting a banana peel at the base of a rose bush, a few inches from the trunk and burried a couple inches down. I thought it was wierd, but tried it. It really seems to help mine bloom larger, longer and more. Just be sure to dead head them when the blooms are done for.
Reply:Roses grow in many forms. Some grow into bushes 2-3' tall, some grow into long, arching bushes 6' across or more, and some will climb like a vine if trained onto a trellis. If you're new to roses, I'd suggest doing a Google search for easy-care or low-maintenance rose varieties. Many of the most popular roses are plagued with disease problems that greatly increase the amount of upkeep, but there are hardy and disease resistant ones. Also, I suggest finding out your hardiness zone and only buying those varieties that are hardy where you live, or you'll set yourself up for a lot of disappointment. Yes, they do come from somewhere! Rose breeders take one plant and pollinate the flowers with pollen from another plant, sometimes a cultivated variety, sometimes a wild species, and any seeds resulting from this are a new variety. If it's a worthy variety (that's up to the breeder to judge), they then take cuttings from the new young plant after it has established and root the cuttings, creating many clones from which they can then take more cuttings/clones and then start selling the new variety. All individual plants of one variety are the same plant genetically. Many rose varieties are centuries old! Good luck!
Reply:Start by locating a sunny location in your yard to create your garden. Roses need a least 6 hours of sun to grow and flower well. Most need to be planted about 2 1/2-3 feet a part so you can figure out how many roses you can put in the space you have available.
Roses need not be segregated to a strict rose garden but can also be mixed into your shrub or perenial beds.
You can get roses bushes at any garden center include Lowes and Home Depot etc.
You will have to decide what kind of roses you want or should I say the purpose of the roses. For example if you want classic roses for cutting like the kind you get from a florist you will want to buy Hybrid tea ,or grandifliora roses - but be aware this type of rose needs specific pruning and spraying to keep is leaves from getting disease. For me they are too much work.
If the goal is lots of color in the garden, but don't want to spray - I would suggest disease resistant landscape roses. They don't typically have long stems for cutting and the flowers while plentiful typicaly have less petals so you do not get the classic rose look. This is what I would recommend, as they are plenty beautiful and can add lots of color to the garden.
Here is a list of the best disease resistant roses:
Oso Easy Peacy Cream - Double peach flowers
Oso Easy Paprika - An abundance of Bright orange flowers
Oso Easy Strawberry Crush - Double soft pink flowers
Flower Carpet Rose - Low ground covering roses
Knock Out rose - hot pinkish red flowers.
Pink Knock Out - single pink
Double Knock Out - Double red
There are other landscape roses with fair to decent disease resistance. These too will work but it helps if you can avoid getting water on the foliage when you water them. If you cannot avoid this because you have an irrigation system, water in the moring so there is time for the leaves to dry off.
All flowering plants start out from seed, but most all shrubs you buy including roses are clones make by either cuttings or grafting stems or buds of the selected varity on to a cutting or seedling. Plant breeders cross pollinate different plants, collect the seed, sow then out, and then select only the best plant to introduce and sell. Plants of this selection is then grown as a clone from cuttings or grafting so that it's the same everytime you buy it. Seedlings are too variage, just like children in a family every one is unique. Cuttings, etc. are predicatble every time.

Rose Garden!?
Hello Andrea C,
Choosing the Right Rose for your Garden
There are literally hundreds of types of roses that you can grow in your garden. With such a selection to choose from, it can be extremely difficult to choose the rose that’s right for you. To make this task a bit easier, I’ve added some crucial factors that you should consider, and some of the different types of roses to aid in your search.
# Color may seem like a trivial matter, but it is usually a factor to those that want to grow roses. Usually it is simply a matter of personal preference.
# The final growth height of a rose should be considered as it would be unattractive to grow roses that are higher than the area of the garden that it grows in. Some roses can grow to be as high as 20 feet.
# If you live in an area that is prone to cold winters, you would certainly want a rose that could survive during the off season.
# If certain fragrances invoke an allergic reaction, you would want to plant roses that have a softer fragrance than the others.
# You would certainly want to learn what the advantages and disadvantages would be if you were to choose certain roses over others.
# You will want to consider the size of your garden space, so that you can ensure proper exposure to the air and other elements as well.
# If you are hoping to make your roses into bouquets, you will want to know if they can be cut. Hybrid teas can. Some roses will fall apart at the petals if they are cut.
# You should also consider what other types of flowers or plants you intend on adding to the rose’s environment. You want to add plants and flowers that will not create a damaging environment to your rose’s ecosystem.
Reply:Lowes %26amp; Home Depot do carry roses, so does Wal-Mart. In fact the local Wal-Mart here has gotten several varieties in over the last week. All different kinds and sizes as well as prices. I shop at all 3 for mine. You can go to a nursery, but they charge much higher prices for the same basic stuff.
P.S. One of those garden gurus on a DIY show recommended putting a banana peel at the base of a rose bush, a few inches from the trunk and burried a couple inches down. I thought it was wierd, but tried it. It really seems to help mine bloom larger, longer and more. Just be sure to dead head them when the blooms are done for.
Reply:Roses grow in many forms. Some grow into bushes 2-3' tall, some grow into long, arching bushes 6' across or more, and some will climb like a vine if trained onto a trellis. If you're new to roses, I'd suggest doing a Google search for easy-care or low-maintenance rose varieties. Many of the most popular roses are plagued with disease problems that greatly increase the amount of upkeep, but there are hardy and disease resistant ones. Also, I suggest finding out your hardiness zone and only buying those varieties that are hardy where you live, or you'll set yourself up for a lot of disappointment. Yes, they do come from somewhere! Rose breeders take one plant and pollinate the flowers with pollen from another plant, sometimes a cultivated variety, sometimes a wild species, and any seeds resulting from this are a new variety. If it's a worthy variety (that's up to the breeder to judge), they then take cuttings from the new young plant after it has established and root the cuttings, creating many clones from which they can then take more cuttings/clones and then start selling the new variety. All individual plants of one variety are the same plant genetically. Many rose varieties are centuries old! Good luck!
Reply:Start by locating a sunny location in your yard to create your garden. Roses need a least 6 hours of sun to grow and flower well. Most need to be planted about 2 1/2-3 feet a part so you can figure out how many roses you can put in the space you have available.
Roses need not be segregated to a strict rose garden but can also be mixed into your shrub or perenial beds.
You can get roses bushes at any garden center include Lowes and Home Depot etc.
You will have to decide what kind of roses you want or should I say the purpose of the roses. For example if you want classic roses for cutting like the kind you get from a florist you will want to buy Hybrid tea ,or grandifliora roses - but be aware this type of rose needs specific pruning and spraying to keep is leaves from getting disease. For me they are too much work.
