i have a standard rose and i was wondering is it dead if it has no shoots from the top but offshoots at the bottem? PLEASE HELP thanx
!! GARDENING HELP PLEASE !! i have a standard rose and i was wondering is it dead if.....?
It's fairly common for roses to put new "canes" out from the bottom - and the manner in which it does so depends on the type of rose it is; tea, hybrid, bush, climbing, etc. These sites may help you identify the type of rose you have, and subsequently the type of care required:

Reply:It sounds as if the top may have died and you are getting suckers from the root stock. It is more than likely a grafted variety, it could be fun to see what you end up with.
Reply:Cut anything off that looks dead, or cut to down to where the off shoots are and just see what happens. If may take another growing season.
Reply:Just take some gardening siccors and cut off anything that is brown.Don't worry about the bottom,it's probably just growing flowers lower.
Reply:if your standard rose is grafted then it is most probably sucker shoots from the graft. i do not recommend cutting off the top because it will not grow back is you are already not getting any growth from the top.
seeing as standard roses can be quite expensive (if they are already advanced) i would take it out of the ground or pot and take it back to the garden centre you bought it from and see if they can suggest why it appears dead (but only pull it out if you are absolutly sure that it is dead).
are there any green leaves at the top of the plant or have they all withered and fallen off? roses are a seasonal plant so you could be going through a dormant stage but the graft may not be and that could be what is resulting in the shoots off the graft.
i hope i have helped.
good luck

What kind of detergent can I use to wash my home's exterior that will not harm my lawn and garden,esp Roses?
What kind of detergent could I use as a House wash. I want to clean the steel siding but I'm worried if I don't use the right soap that I could end up ruining my yard. I also have hedges and some rose bushes that I don't want to ruin either. Name brands and where I could buy it would be very helpful. Price would be helpful as well. Thank you in advance.

Use dishsoap (about 1 cup to 1.5 cups) in a 20 gallon water sprayer attachment that hooks onto the end of your garden hose. It won't hurt the plants. In fact some gardeners such as Jerry Baker recommend using it on your lawn so that it cleans the dust off the grass before applying liquid fertilizer to allow liquid fertilizer to get absorbed by the the grass easier leaves easier. The most recommend I've heard is Dawn. Don't use an antibacterial dish soap. And make sure to use dish soap (like you use for hand washing dishes) and not dish detergent like you use in a dishwasher.
Reply:My husband went to Home Depot and bought some ZEP for power spraying the house exterior, this was for vinyl siding on my house. It did not cause any damage to the yard or plants surrounding the area. I think it is also okay to use on SS.
Reply:I use SA8 with Bioquest. It is completely safe for garden. Price canadian dollar- 51.00/- for 4.5kg. ( upto 150 loads.) The product is available to registered members only.
Reply:Try organic detergents : Here are some of them . Pick the one that you feel will work best for the outside ( like multiuse or even laundry detergent)

Reply:Dish soap.,, it will also kill bugs on plants' leaves. if you have lady bugs,, try to catch them, and save them, while using any kind of soap, then rinse plants well, then reurn lady bugs,,,lady bugs love to eat aphids, which love to eat roses.

What did I do wrong with my half wild rose bush?
I had magnificant growth for two years. Last Nov. I cut it right back because it was taking over the whole garden. This year I only had roses on the bottom part. The upper part had small white flowers and tons of green growth. But no roses. Any ideas?
What did I do wrong with my half wild rose bush?
It was still probably in shock from the pruning. Roses don't like to be pruned that early, better to wait until January or February. Check with a local nursery and see when they recommend pruning in your area. Also, be sure and feed your rose! Good luck.
Reply:Be patient give it rose food, it sometimes take a season for it to recover from overpruning. Here is a link that may help: http://www.rosecare.com/

What to do with wood ashes besides dress the rose bushes?
I tried spreading it on the garden and the veggies taste like soap! Can they be used to make soap or household cleaner??
What to do with wood ashes besides dress the rose bushes?
yes you can make a sort of soap with them. but you also need to save all of your cooking grease.
They are good to mix in dirt to use as an edger.
Reply:mix them with an equal weight of animal fat and make soap...
Reply:I mix any ashes into the soil, I don't put them on my plants.
Reply:I use them to keep slugs off my plants by making a circle around the base. Slugs have soft underbellies. Good luck!

What kind of flowers should I plant in my garden? Must be hardy enough to withstand Minnesota winters!?
Would like a mixture of annuals and perrenials. Are rose bushes hardy?
What kind of flowers should I plant in my garden? Must be hardy enough to withstand Minnesota winters!?
I have a zone 4 garden and have had great luck with roses. Just make sure that you plant the bud union 2 inches below the surface as opposed to above. I have never had to fuss with them in the fall and while there is some winter kill on the branches, a quick trim to live wood is all they need in spring.
Shrub roses are very hardy. My hybrid teas do well, but my favourite everblooming rose is a grootendorst supreme.
I also grow plants such as perennial geraniums, bellflowers, daylillies, perennial potentilla plant, lamium, snow in summer, hostas, etc.
For shrubs, I like spireas as they come in different sizes, leaf colour and bloom times. I also have lilacs, dogwoods, honeysuckle shrubs, Northern gold forsythias and many other types of shrubs that do well and need the winter chill.
I also have honey suckle and clematis if you are looking for flowering vines.
Reply:Hellebores are wonderful! They are evergreen, love shade and give you flowers in late February. A common name for these is lenten rose. Look at the "orientalis," "niger," and "royal heritage" strains at www.waysidegardens.com.
Reply:This is best answered at your local garden center or greenhouse. NOT HOME DEPOT OR LOWE'S. They will ONLY carry plants that will survive there.
Reply:i think it would be a any kind but you can cover it up with selter or in a green house.
lol

Is it ok to prune my rose bushes after 7pm?
i'm really busy nowadays and approximately after 7pm PST seems to be the only time i have available to garden. is pruning this late bad for my roses? thanks.
Is it ok to prune my rose bushes after 7pm?
Just as long as it gets pruned I don't think it matters. Some people swear by sealing the pruned part with super glue so that disease doesn't get in there but I just ignore my roses and leave them alone. They do just fine! I think the less that you mess with stuff and the longer you let it fend for itself and do the whole nature thing the better off you are and the plants are themselves. There are obvious times to step in, like Black Mold, and funguses. There are sprays and certain techniques for that. You don't want to lose your prized plant but sometimes you have to step back and let them do their thing! Good Luck.
Reply:No, as long as you can see the plants, prune away. Those who exhibit roses can often be found out in the garden before dawn harvesting the flowers for the show that day.........so don't worry, roses aren't going to mind a little day day attention.
Reply:I don't think the time has anything to do with the nature of gardening, though it's more natural to do your pruning in the morning, if you can.
Reply:Yes, unless you live next door and do your pruning with a chainsaw, lol. Seriously, it's better to to it then than in the morning when working in the morning dew can spread disease. RScott
