Reply:i like my roses on the bush ..... i let it bloom till the petals fall off or look bad then i trim the bud off just below the first set of 5 leaves
when watering i only water 10 to 12 inches from the base ... never in the leaves this helps the roots to " look " for water and wont mold or burn the leaves
i use a rose food.... again not on the plant just around the base a few inches from the plant
the soil ph is sort of acidic for roses once a month i add a soil acidifier but you should check your soil first to measure the ph
some roses grow H I P S so don't dead head the rose if you want H I P S
H I P S are found on a lot of older roses OLD meaning when they were found or created they are like a seed and grow orange or red ..... they can start new roses with some types or there are recipes you can make tea or butter from them
( cool huh )
its important to know what rose you own .... there are many rose varieties and caring for them can differ from rose to rose
is it a bush shrub climber rambler tree or mini ... see what i mean lol
this sight has been invaluable its free and has more info than one person could ever know i hope it helps
Reply:What I do, is--when the rose blooms, I either enjoy it on the bush or in the house, but I cut it off and start the 'pruning', before Fall gets here.
I'm not in Phoenix, but I DO know you enjoy them first and you can prune them right off to do that, in a vase!!!
I bought a Hybrid Tea Rose and OMIGOSH! that rose is the best smelling rose I have ever smelled. I think the name of it was "PEACE". It is yellow with a red rim. Awesome!!
I'd water every chance I got,or when you see the leaves droopy.

Can I give my adult female rabbit rose leaves?
She had some earlier and I'm not sure if she's allowed to have that in her diet or if it's toxic to her. Any help?
Can I give my adult female rabbit rose leaves?
There are a lot of garden plants that rabbits can eat and roses are one garden plant that rabbits can eat every part of.
Reply:Yes, rabbits can eat rose leaves providing they don't have pesticides etc on them and aren't brown.
Rose leaves would be a normal part of a wild rabbits diet.
Reply:no it is not toxic ,but rose leaves is not in her diet,
Reply:If I was you I wouldn't give rose leaves to a rabbit
Reply:Rabbits, would tottally eat any type of vegetation, even though it's not in their diet, try not to feed them roses, they are'nt toxic.
Feed them rabbit food or leaves from trees, or even carrots :D
Hope this helps!

Has anyone ever heard of a rose stone?
I think that is what it is called. It looks like a pinkish peach pit and smell pretty. I was given one as a kid and would lilke to get some for around the house.
Has anyone ever heard of a rose stone?
oh I know what you're talking about! I got one too when I was a kid. sorry though, I haven't seen one in 30 years. if ya find one let me know, they were great to put in your clothing drawers and closets.
Reply:I haven't ever heard of it but I googled it and it seems that it has something to do with Primavera fragrances. Thats all I could find. Sounds wonderful.
Reply:You probably talk about the Rose quartz which is one of the most desirable varieties of quartz. The pink to rose red color completely unique, unlike any other pink mineral species. Rose quartz is used as an ornamental stone and as a gemstone.

My rose bushes will not blossom why?
i have used rose fertilizer and plant food on them. they grow nice but no flowers.
My rose bushes will not blossom why?
Check the fertilizer you're using...My guess is that it contains a lot of nitrogen...OK quick fertilizer 101-There a always three numbers on any fertilizer you buy; the first is always nitrogen, the second is always phosphorus, and the third is always potash...Nitrogen, makes a plant grow up, and turn green, phosphorus, promotes strong root growth, and blooming; and potash is an all around tonic...When fertilizing blooming plants I fertilize with a normal fertilizer the first 2-3 times, then I switch to a "bloom booster" these products vary considerably; look for a product where the second number is higher than the first...Also it sounds like you're OVER fertilizing...plant food, and fertilizer, are the same thing...you might want to stop feeding(fertilizing)...
Reply:Are they getting full sun? Don't feed them anymore for 6 weeks or so.
Reply:roses need a TON of full sun...i had one small one do that, and had to transplant it...

What fortune 500 company rose to the position of # 1 without being cutthroat or wedging out the competition?
Exxon, they did it by just being in the right business.
What is the name of the rose plant that is typical (not a bush, but like what you would give to someone)?
not the bush, not the minature version. what is the name of the ones that you, would give to your girlfriend on v-day. (i was just wondering)
What is the name of the rose plant that is typical (not a bush, but like what you would give to someone)?
Most of the roses used for commercial cut flowers are "Hybrid Teas", which have large flower heads and long, thick stems. Other types are "intermediates", which have a smaller flower but are more productive and "sweethearts", which have very small blooms. There are thousands of different varieties of cut roses. Just in red roses, we carry about 15 different varieties right now. The most popular reds are "Freedom", "Charlotte", "Madame Delbard", "Red Berlin", "Black Magic", "Opium" to name a few.
Most of the roses sold in the US are imported. I work at a flower importer.
Reply:martha washingtons are great!
Reply:Hybrid Tea, they are a grafted rose. The plant itself is usually not particularly attractive, tends to be kinda leggy. I used to have quite a few, and here in Georgia they were no problem to grow. The main key to them is to prune them, the more you cut them back (to a point) the better they produce. Other than that a little fertiliser, and that was all that was needed. As far as pest, I would occasionally get a few aphids, though they were never a big problem.
Reply:The all grow on bushes. The ones you give are usually hybrid tea roses. It just depends on how they are grown and where.
Reply:They are called long stemmed roses.
Reply:Those long, slender, thornless, velvety, deep red roses are called the "American Beauty" Rose and are the ones typically delivered by florists on Valentines Day and for other celebrations.
Growing them is not as easy as it looks. Its fussy, finicky requirements made this a good Rose for a greenhouse. Growing these long stemmed Roses at home without a greenhouse is extremely difficult.

Reply:It is more misdirection as you have it up your sleeve
Reply:Basically the task to to keep the rose (or other object) hidden until it is made visible up in the air, which may be only a few seconds or longer. The most common place to hide the objects is behind the fingers so the palm of the hand and face of the fingers can be shown empty. The item is gripped between the edges of fingers (like a bowed card) or between two fingers in the crack (like a coin) and when the hand is moving to "reach" for the object, the fingers are bent and/or separated to bring the object into the front grip.
People who are good a slight of hand can use one hand and roll objects from finger to finger, front to back, etc., and exercise constantly like a baton twirler to use small finger movements to carry the task.
The rose is almost certainly not up the sleeve. It might be in the belt at the back, in a loose pocket in the clothing or in the collar. It might move between places before being presented.

It will be in a narrow bed on the west side of the house by a walkway. It will get a lot of sun.
Requirements:
Classic looking
Easy to care for
Easy to grow
Straight stems
Do they only bloom once a season? Should I plant several plants?
Too bad they come with thorns!

here are some facts about roses
A rose is a flowering shrub of the genus Rosa, and the flower of this shrub.[1][2] There are more than a hundred species of wild roses, all from the northern hemisphere and mostly from temperate regions. The species form a group of generally prickly shrubs or climbers, and sometimes trailing plants, reaching 2–5 metres tall, occasionally reaching as high as 20 metres by climbing over other plants.[3]
The name originates from Latin rosa, borrowed through Oscan from colonial Greek in southern Italy: rhodon (Aeolic form: wrodon), from Aramaic wurrdā, from Assyrian wurtinnu, from Old Iranian *warda (cf. Armenian vard, Avestan warda, Sogdian ward, Parthian war).[4][5]
Rose hips are sometimes eaten, mainly for their vitamin C content. They are usually pressed and filtered to make rose hip syrup, as the fine hairs surrounding the seeds are unpleasant to eat (resembling itching powder). They can also be used to make herbal tea, jam, jelly and marmalade. A rose that has aged or gone rotten may not be particularly fragrant, but the rose's basic chemistry prevents it from producing a pungent odor of any kind. Notably, when balled and mashed together the fragrance of the rose is enhanced.[6] The fragrance of particularly large balls of mashed roses is enhanced even further. Rose hips are also used to produce an oil used in skin products. Rose shrubs are often used by homeowners and landscape architects for home security purposes. The sharp thorns of many rose species deter unauthorized persons from entering private properties, and may prevent break-ins if planted under windows and near drainpipes. The aesthetic characteristics of rose shrubs, in conjunction with their home security qualities, makes them a considerable alternative to artificial fences and walls.[1][2]Roses are subject to several diseases. The most serious is rose rust (Phragmidium mucronatum), a species of rust fungus, which can defoliate the plant. More common, though less debilitating, are rose black spot, caused by the fungus Diplocarpon rosae, which makes circular black spots on the leaves in summer, and powdery mildew, caused by Sphaerotheca pannosa. Fungal diseases are best solved by a preventative fungicidal spray program rather than by trying to cure an infection after it is visible. After the disease is visible, its spread can be minimized through pruning and use of fungicides although actual infection cannot be reversed. Some rose varieties are considerably less susceptible than others to fungal disease.
The main insect pest affecting roses is the aphid (greenfly), which sucks the sap and weakens the plant. Ladybirds are a predator of aphids and should be encouraged in the rose garden. Spraying with insecticide is often recommended but should be done with care to minimize loss of beneficial insects. Roses are also used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera (butterfly and moth) species; see list of Lepidoptera that feed on roses.

Requirements:
Classic looking
Easy to care for
Easy to grow
Straight stems
Do they only bloom once a season? Should I plant several plants?
Too bad they come with thorns!
Will Mr. Lincoln work in this kind of bed?
Can you suggest what kind of rose to plant?
Long stem roses are not the easiest of roses to take care of. You might want to try something that won't take as much effort.

How can you easily preserve a rose? I was given one and I want to keep it..?
I went to medieval times(the show when you eat and they have a fake tournament with knights and horses) and the knights were throwing flowers to girls, and i caught one. He blew me a kiss! I want to keep it :) Thanks!
How can you easily preserve a rose? I was given one and I want to keep it..?
Hang it upside down and let it dry out. If there is more than one flower, such as baby's breath tie it all together, then hang it upside down. I have a boquet from a wedding I was in 3 years ago and it is still beautiful. I hope this is helpful:)

Reply:Hang the rose upside down using sewing thread or twine and spray it with hair spray and let it dry for 24 hours and repeat 2 to 3 times and it will be good. Then you can optionally spray it with liquid plastic you can purchase in a spray can.
Reply:put it in water!
Reply:Don't put it in water! Put it in the fridge or freezer. It will not only preserve it, but it will keep the color. After it dries out in the fridge you can put it in a bud vase or whatever.

How many times per day do u have to water a Chinese rose?
It's similar to a bonzai tree ... but this one grows bigger.
How many times per day do u have to water a Chinese rose?
Just make sure that you have a good draining system for it and you should be able to water them twice a day, once in morning and once at night. Just don't give it a lot of water. Just enough to make the soil soft.

How can I start new rose plant from a clipping?
Here is a site that will give you step by step instructions with pictures included. Follow the direction as they are described and you should have new rose plants in no time. Be aware that you may not end up with the same rose you began with if it is a grafted rose. However, if you are going to propagate an own root rose then you will get the same rose.

Good Luck and happy propagating.

cut one off the plant and stick into the ground where you want it to grow, good luck the resluts are ver rewarding.
Reply:my aunt taught me how to do this forty years ago. cut off a new, tender shoot at the joint. put it in the ground halfway. cover with a cut off two litre bottle.(it will be like having it's own little greenhouse) water profusely for a month. If it stays green, then it's a success! works about half of the time.

How do I kill a rose bush?
I have cut it down below the ground and it keeps growing back. Is there something I can pour on it so it will not grow back?
How do I kill a rose bush?
Pull the roots out.
Diesel fuel works, but it will seep into your groundwater. The State EPA can track that and you will have to pay a HEFTY fine.
Clorox is actually a fertilizer.
Or let me take care of it, it will die before you know it.
Reply:NOOOOO, don't use diesel fuel, it also seeps into the groundwater.
Mix a strong solution of salt-water, that should do it.
Reply:You state that you have 'cut' it down below the ground....try digging it up. And to everyone who said to pour gasoline, kerosene or bleach on it...please dont. These toxins pour daily into our groundwater and we do not need any more introduced into our own water supply....thanks.
Reply:In order for it not to grow back you have to dig it up, roots and all. But don't just try and kill it, plenty of people would be willing to take it off of your hands. Spread the word and someone will come and dig it up for you if they can have it. Recycle!

Reply:2 pounds of salt and, trust me, nothing will ever grow there.
Reply:Pour a gallon of Diesel fuel on it at the base so that it seeps into the roots.
Reply:Going to have to dig it up
Reply:Use something really strong and that is sytemic. Try roundup, it kills everything.
Reply:Wait until the bush is sufficiently regrown. Mix glyphosate (RoundUp) with a small amount of liquid rose fertilizer and spray it on all the leaves. The fertilizer will trick the bush into accepting more of the glyphosate into itself. Repeat this procedure for a couple of days. If possible, spray it in the late evening, because the plant will be more active in the morning when there is fresh dew on the leaves.
Reply:The safest thing is a pound of rock salt. (ice cream salt). Pour it in a circle where the bush was.
That will kill the roots and not harm anything else.
Reply:How do you keep the thing alive I can't get weeds to grow...Ok try pulling it out of the ground.
Reply:I will dig it out if I was you. If you don't want that then cover the area with dark plastic sheet and cover the sheet with dirt a few inches deep and leave it for a while.

Don't use deisel or gasoline OR salt. Nothing will ever grow there again.

In polar coordinates dealing with the rose figures, whats the relationship between even & odd numbers?
the rose polar coordinates how come when k is even there are 2k petals but when k is odd its that exact amount of petals? why is that relationship different for odd and even values of k?
In polar coordinates dealing with the rose figures, whats the relationship between even %26amp; odd numbers?
actually what appears to be true is not true.....in the interval [0,2π] both sin (even Θ) and sin (odd Θ) have double the number of leaves. You just don't see the "double" number with the " odd Θ " since the leaves lie on top of each other...try r = sin 3 Θ on [0, π] vs on [π, 2 π] and then sin 2 Θ on each of those. When you compare two graphs you should use the same domains.

Reply:Actually there are supposed to be some quite good roses now. I'm serious. The New York Times food section has had at least two articles recently regarding this -- in other words according to them, rose is a hot trend. I'm serious, go to www.nytimes.com and search the archives for "rose" and "wine" within about the past 6 months. So since some people will regard rose as a fashionable drink they might want to try, you can wait till you have a party, and put the rose bottle on the bar so people - especially those who may have seen wine columns about newly fashionable rose - will have a third option besides just white and red.
Otherwise, you could use it to cook some sort of South of France type dish - rose being a thing from the South of France. I'm thinking some sort of poulet au vin involving, like, rosemary and garlic and maybe some onions and potatoes. Something where you might ordinarily use white wine.

I have to add - I think your overall attitude is very poor. Rose' is not a horrible wine and it was a gift (which took thought).
To be honest I feel sorry for whoever gave it to you. I don't think you a very nice friend, let alone person. I have been given many gifts that were not necessarily to my taste, but I have always shown appreciate - not scorn.

Reply:I think that using it for cooking or giving it as a gift to someone else who might appreciate it are good ideas.
I have to add - I think your overall attitude is very poor. Rose' is not a horrible wine and it was a gift (which took thought).
To be honest I feel sorry for whoever gave it to you. I don't think you a very nice friend, let alone person. I have been given many gifts that were not necessarily to my taste, but I have always shown appreciate - not scorn.
Where can I find a rose in a glass case like the one in Beauty and the Beast?
I want to get this for my girlfriend and my 6 month anniversary so I was wondering where I could find it. Any help would be great.

I like the idea of making it yourself...%26amp; I'll bet your girlfriend will LOVE the fact that you put so much effort into her gift!
It looks alot harder that you'd think. Once you have the supplies, You can throw it together in 5 easy steps:
WHAT YOU'LL NEED:
-1 artificial rose in color of your choice
-1 tall %26amp; narrow square clear glass vase. (This will be your "glass case" when turned upside-down, so make sure the rose bud %26amp; leaves fit comfortably inside.)
-1 1" thick pc. of white floral styrofoam, found in same area of store as the rose. Must be LARGER than the vase opening!
- tube of strong, clear-drying glue...like epoxy or hot glue(need gun)
When you get home %26amp; have all the supplies out:
1.) Take all price stickers off the vase %26amp; rose, most importantly.
2.) Trim rose stem slightly shorter than the hight of your vase.
3.) Using a kitchen knife, trim floral foam to the size of the vase opening...your gonna use this as the base, %26amp; a sort of "plug" to enclose the flower inside. If the foam edges are too jaggedy when your done, you can actually sandpaper them smooth!
4.) Center the stem over the foam, %26amp; just shove it in straight. now that you have the stem's holder made, pull it back out, put a bit of glue in the hole %26amp; stick the stem back in the hole. Your rose will now look "suspended" in the air.
5.) Last, take a bit of the glue %26amp; go around the sides of the foam where it'll "plug" the vase. Place the vase over the rose, %26amp; "plug" it up with the foam...WhaLah!!! Instant Rose in a Glass Case!

Can I put my new rose of sharon plants in big pots to grow them and transplant them later this year?
I just received these new plants in the mail. I have rapped the roots in a couple wet paper towels and put them back in the bag that they came in until I can plant them. I need to know if I am going to damage these plants by putting them into big pots with soil with out actually putting them into the ground (yard) untill my fiancee and I can decide where to put them later this summer.
Can I put my new rose of sharon plants in big pots to grow them and transplant them later this year?
Yes, you can plant rose of sharon in big pots and transplant them later this year. It's better to transplant them in Fall when the weather is cool to minimize tranplant shock and the roots don't dry quickly from summer heat.
Reply:That shouldn't be a problem. The plant doesn't know that it is in a pot. Rose ofSharon are very forgiving and easy to grow.
I have so many White Rose of Sharon bushes, I keep cutting them down! They grow to 8, 10 feet tall. But, I love them.
Reply:Go ahead and put them in pots. Althea ( Rose of Sharon) are very easy to grow. It is a very good idea to pot them up as you are going to have to decide a good place for them. It will give you more time to learn about them as well. They do not get too large but you still need to know their mature size to place them well. Try the library for information. Or try ebay since many sellers there supply information as they are usually in the nursery business.
Since they are bareroot a gallon size pot should be sufficient. They will have time to grow more roots and will be easier to plant if the pot is not too big. The hole you dig should be about two and half times larger than the pot, and just a little deeper.
Oh, yes, check out the area you live in to see what they look like this summer in other people's yards.

Reply:there is a trick to transplanting - it's kind of "folklore", but it seems to hold true: you can only transplant during months with an "r" in them or, DON"T transplant in May, June, July, or August. summer transplants ususally don't survive. Rose of Sharon is a pretty hardy plant, so putting them in pots until fall will work just fine. or you could just plant them outside now, then move them in the fall (after they have lost their leaves), but this increases the chance of injury during transplanting. I hope this helps. good luck

What is this on my rose bushes?
I don't know what kind of roses they are, but there are only 2 layers of petals. They have been unbelievably healthy until last week. I noticed there were white stuff on the leaves and then they would turn yellow and brown then die and fall off. The top of the bushes are great, the new growth has just turned green but the bottoms are bare. I've picked up as much of the leaves as I could (mulch is around them) and started spraying them with a fungicide. No more white but the leaves are still turning brown and yellow and dieing. Am I doing the right things? Is there anything else I should do? If it helps at all I live in Florida. The sprinklers are set for 7am only every other day. Also some of the buds are really small and then die fast, right after blooming.
What is this on my rose bushes?
The white stuff is powdery white mildew. This is going to be a constant battle once it set in. But, it can be controlled.
When you water, do not get the foliage wet. That promotes the fungus growth. A good product for fungus and mildew is neem oil. Ask for it in a specialty nursery (they may not have it at Home Depot).
Also, when you use the stuff, make sure you get both sides of the leaves (front and back). You can't readily see the fungus on the back, but you'll see it as dead leaves on the front.
Also, remove/replace all of the dead leaves and mulch around your plants. Throw it in the garbage or burn it. Once you get mold and mildew spores, they can blow up from the leaves/mulch and end up right back on the leaves.
As far as the blooms, are you pruning the plant after the bloom? If you just let the plant go, it will get really bushy and give small flowers. If you prune correctly, you will get less but bigger blooms. To prune correctly, cut the stem with the dead rose just above a leaf stem with at least 5 leaflets on it. The bud that forms at the base of the leaf stem will form the stem for the next rose and it should be bigger than if you just let the plant do its own thing.
Reply:Yep they are all right, I just wanted to add that if you do spray with Neem make sure you spray in the evening because it is an oil so the hot sun on it may burn the plant.
Reply:Paul gave you all the right answers! All, Paul's answer es included cleaning up Powdery Mildew! gggggggggggggoooooooooo! for this answer
Reply:First of all, you shouldn't be watering your roses with a sprinkler. You should be using soaker hoses. Even in the morning, getting the foliage wet in Florida invites fungal diseases. Pick the dead leaves off the bushes %26amp; destroy them as well as any leaves that have fallen to the ground. Continue spraying with a fungicide. A systemic one like BannerMax will work the best (although it isn't cheap)

Should I cut my climbing rose back before summer?
I started it from a cutting of my Mother's plant. It is 2 years old and has 2 long branches. I don't know what kind it is because it comes from my Grandmothers plant which is about 40 years old. It has a deep red bloom and the most wonderful frangrance to it. Also does anyone know when it might bloom? Sorry I don't have more info about it.
Should I cut my climbing rose back before summer?
You can cut back climbing roses but keep in mind, they have to have 2 years growth on them before they will bloom.
If you cut it back which can be done almost anytime, do not cut it shorter than 1 foot tall. Like I said it will grow and bloom again, just not for a couple years.
Reply:I don't think you cut back climbing roses. You can shorten it if you think some of the canes are too long. Otherwise, cut out any dead parts and let it go. If you are in the USA, most roses that are dormant because of winter will bloom right around Memorial Day. Throw a couple of hands full of Epsom Salt around the base around St. Patrick's Day, then a couple of weeks later, fertilize it with a good quality rose food, and feed it every month through August. Make sure you spray it with Orthenex so it doesn't get black spot and insect damage. You can buy Orthenex is a premixed spray can.

How do I press a rose in a book?
I received a dozen roses from my boyfriend and I would like to press some of them in a book. What is the best way to do this without them molding? Should i press them between wax paper? They are just starting to wilt now. I do not have a flower press.
How do I press a rose in a book?
In my case, it's easy as 1-2-3! Pick the best petals, insert in every page of a book, keep book in a dry place and let stay for months, years... The longer they stay, the better they become. As years go by, they could be reminders of fond memories that go with each petal.
Happy pressing :) Cheers!
Reply:Every time I try to press a flower, it always molds. I usually just lay the flower up on a shelf or something out of reach and forget about it for a couple of weeks. Then it is a beatifully dried flower that still has it's shape--works well to lay on a shelf in a china closet or to put in a vase. This is what I did with our wedding flowers and they still look beautiful almost 6 years later.
Reply:Put the rose between two pieces of white paper...I just used printer paper. Then put the rose and paper in the middle of a thick phone book. Add a couple more phone books on top of that one and leave it for a couple of months and your rose will be pressed and ready to frame etc. I just left mine under the bed..it worked fine.

How do you prune a rose bush? And what is the best time of year to do it?
You can prune rose bushes now, or in the spring. Make sure you cut each branch on approx. 45 degree angle, just above the bud pointing in the direction you want to encourage the new growth in the spring, for example away from the walkway, or a wall, but make sure the new branches will grow outward, not toward the centre of the bush. Keeping the bush centre open allows more sunlight in and discourages pests and mould. Please remember to protect the graft area of the bush in cold climate. Enjoy many beautiful roses next year.
How do you prune a rose bush? And what is the best time of year to do it?
Cut as close to the root as you can.
Reply:I prune mine in the early spring when I see the new growth start. Always make pruning cuts at an angle.
Reply:I prefer to prune in the Spring so my plants won't be naked to face the hardships of winter......
Always prune the branches at an angle so the water don't stagnate, bringing rot and attracting bugs to your plant. Cut as many branches inside the plant as you can....to allow sunshine to the rest of the plant. While pruning, try to give it the shape you want it to be.
And don't forget to fertilize and mulch......
Reply:Never prune right before winter. It is too risky, and the new branches can freeze. Wait until spring when it warms up a bit, and then take some sharp shears or a rose knife, and make cuts about 1/4" beyond a stem with a five-leaf tip; cutting at an angle. Cut out, too, any tangled branches in the middle of the bush. Sunlight must be able to reach the rose, and it cuts down on mould and fungus diseases as well. Finally, dispose of any diseased leaves or dead branches and put them in the trash, not the compost pile if you have one. For blackspot and mould, cut most of the leaves off and feed with a systemic rose food, such as Ortho's. Burn the leaves, or at the very least, put them in a plastic grabage bag and seal it to throw it away.
Reply:roses can take cuts anywhere, but is best to cut halfway on each stem. Valentines day is the old saying, but anytime from December to march.

What's the botanical name of the fern that is used in rose bouquet?
It has deep green foliage and very pretty.
I'm trying to plant it in my garden for my cutting flowers.
What's the botanical name of the fern that is used in rose bouquet?
Are you talking about "Leather leaf" fern? This is the most commonly used fern in the floral industry. Botanical name is Rumohra adiantiformis. I have only seen it as a cut product for florists and not sure you can get it as a plant for the garden. There are many ferns out there that would work for arrangements though.

How can i dry a rose to save it forever without losing its color?
my grandmother just passed away..and i took two roses from the flower arrangements that we bought her. i would like to save them. i know that if you hang them upside down and let them dry, but it doesnt keep the color. any suggestions??
How can i dry a rose to save it forever without losing its color?
I've never done this at home before, but at work I've done it for other people. You can cover the rose in wax. Go to Hobby Lobby or the local craft store and buy plain clear wax, and heat proof container deep enough that the rose will fit inside. Heat the wax until it is liquid, then slowly and carefully holding the rose upside down dip it into the wax and pull it back out in one swift motion. The wax is hot, but shouldn't damage your hand. Wipe the drippings off with your fingers and do again for a gran total of 3 times! You should still be able to see the natural color through the wax. You may need to remove all the leaf's before, if they get broken later it can cause issues.
Good Luck,
Sorry to hear about your Grandma.
Reply:Sorry to hear about your Grandmother:(, Go to a craft store, they should have some stuff there. I used some silicone beads from a craft store once and they dried the roses really well. Although it doesn't matter how you dry them the color will always turn a little. I used the beads to dry flowers when my kids were born and they are still beautiful today(kids and flowers lol )that was 34 and 29 years ago.

I forgot to prune my rose bush this year, will it still bloom good?
If I just leave it alone, will it bloom like it's supposed to or should I prune it when it starts getting a little warmer?
I forgot to prune my rose bush this year, will it still bloom good?
You could probably prune it now, if it is still dormant. Or, don't prune at all - I generally only prune my roses in the spring, when I can tell where the dead/old stuff is, and then I only cut off the frost-kill parts. I fertilize with a time-release, systemic fertilizer. I always get good blooms this way.....
Reply:They sure will. Rule of thumb prune only if there is a real reason to do so... Right now water about once or twice per week. Fertilizer once in spring, summer and fall.
Reply:Here is a pretty good link on the question of rose bushes and pruning.

Reply:Rose are quick growing plants, fertilize well when the growth season starts and you should have plenty of blooms.
Reply:I am in 6B and won't prune mine until the 10th of March
I will ruthlessly cut off everything that is smaller in diameter than a pencil, plus any damaged or dead areas.
I am waiting for the late part of February to spray with dormant oil for insect and disease control (temp between 40%26amp;80F). I have all the other pruning and disbudding set on my calender and I have had good luck and excellent blooming with this system.

Where could I find inexpensive rose petals?
I just need the petals, not the plants, and I need a lot. When I lived in West Palm Beach, there were many places that sold roses for $1 each, but since moving to Texas I can't find anything like that. Any suggestions?

Two suggestions: at the cemetery after a funeral (they get useless and will be wasted) or in your neighbour's garden!
Reply:flower shop some times throw away scrap roses or filler ask them
Reply:go to the grocery store and check out what they have.. Or florists that have damaged stems may be willing to part with them for cheap.. Or if you need the look of petels buy fake roses... At our wholesale club BJ's you can get a doz. roses bouquet for about 10-12 bucks..
Reply:my suggestion is go to a local florist and look in their garbage or just ask them if they have any flowers that they are going to through out that they can give you for free or for cheep since you are doing them a favor ;)
Reply:Late at night or in the early morning hours before the sun comes up, dress in ninja gear and sneak stealthily into your neighbors yard to swipe their roses. You may need to scope out the place first to see if they have an automatic sprinkler timer. You don't want to get caught by the sprinklers.
Or, if you're not into sneaky ninja adventures, you could do what dorikaboom said and just ask your neighbors.
Reply:Your neighbors garden?
No, seriously. Have you thought about asking some of your neighbors if you can pick a few of their roses. If you get a few from enough houses it can save a lot of money.
Reply:Go to your local flower shop, ask them what you want, pick them up at the end off each day.
Flower shops need to clean the roses to be presentable for the arrangements, the pedals to them, are garbage. If they are willing to keep them for you, they'll give them away.

Reply:Late at night or in the early morning hours before the sun comes up, dress in ninja gear and sneak stealthily into your neighbors yard to swipe their roses. You may need to scope out the place first to see if they have an automatic sprinkler timer. You don't want to get caught by the sprinklers.
Or, if you're not into sneaky ninja adventures, you could do what dorikaboom said and just ask your neighbors.
Reply:Your neighbors garden?
No, seriously. Have you thought about asking some of your neighbors if you can pick a few of their roses. If you get a few from enough houses it can save a lot of money.
Reply:Go to your local flower shop, ask them what you want, pick them up at the end off each day.
Flower shops need to clean the roses to be presentable for the arrangements, the pedals to them, are garbage. If they are willing to keep them for you, they'll give them away.

I have cut down my rose bushes and now they look terrible, I have to start again, how should I prune them?
The stems start off nice and strong, then willow out into spindly short "primrose" looking roses (which they are not.)
When should I prune them?
How can I start from scratch?
They were so beautiful (previous homeowner) and I have ruined them!!
Help!
I have cut down my rose bushes and now they look terrible, I have to start again, how should I prune them?
Roses should be cut right back at the end of winter, after the last frosts.
If you live in a more moderate climate, the timing might be different.
They are a remarkable resiliant plant and should recover with some TLC. Rose food etc.
If you are still worried see your nearest nurseryman
Make take 12 months or longer
Reply:Just leave them alone and in the spring they will start to flourish again. They are supposed to be cut down in the fall, And don't forget to use rose fertilizers you have a few months to act just don't over do it rose bushes last for years!
Reply:I highly recommend you to read all about roses. It is a beautiful book.
Reply:To start over, cut the bush down to 3 or 4 main canes about 6-10 inches. Choose branches that are thick and healthy and make sure they are growing in a direction where they are not going to grow over each other.

How do I fix a ceiling light when there is no ceiling rose.?
Maybe a dumb question but do I have to get any special fittings etc?
How do I fix a ceiling light when there is no ceiling rose.?
If you are in the UK legally you cant. If you take any of the above advice you are more nuts than they are. Get an approved electrician. (NICEIC uk)
Reply:It all depend on how many wires are up there. If there are only two or three, you will have no problem.
The ceiling rose comes in two pieces the first is the baseplate and this has brass blocks attached to it. These blocks are marked L, N, and E. Each block has 3 grub screws in it. Make a hole in the base plate by striking out one of the plastic panels. Feed the 3 cables through it and secure the baseplate to the wooden ceiling joist.
fasten the Red or Brown wire to the outermost hole on the L block using the grub screw. Likewise for the Black or blue (N eutral) and the Green (E arth)
Take the bulb holder part and wire it to the base plate in the same manner as above, using a different hole in each block. Red to L Black/Blue to N and green to E, using the grub screws.
Then close the whole unit by screwing the two pieces together. Put in your bulb and switch on. Easy.
If you have more than three wires, consult an electrician, or if you are not confident to do it yourself. It won't cost much.
Reply:If there is wiring there and a wall switch connected to them, then there should be an electrical junction box (either metal or plastic) which has two threaded holes. These are size 8x32 (if you are in the USA). A new fixture has a bracket which is slotted and will fit a 3" box (old style) or 4" size. These fixtures come with the brackets (but not the screws) 3/4 inch in length. Again size 8 x 32 (thread size). These "straps" as they are called , will support the fixture that they come with.
Good Luck and work safe ! ! !
Reply:What do you have at the moment? Is it just a wire poking thru the ceiling? Final question - what sort of light do you want to fit?

I am looking for a home remedy for aphids on my rose plants?
I have heard of soap water but I am not sure of the ratio of soap to water. Is it dish or laundry???
I am looking for a home remedy for aphids on my rose plants?
Go to the nursery and buy a bag of ladybugs. They eat aphids, supposedly.
Reply:1 Tablespoon of dish soap, 1 Tablespoon of red pepper, (Optional) to 1 gallon of water. Spray twice a week plus after each good rain.
The red pepper will keep them from coming back.
You can buy lady bugs and praying mantis, plus plant marigolds close to your roses. Close means at the border edge of your roses.
Reply:Nurseries sell lady bugs by the gross. They love the aphids.
Reply:My grandmother always used the dish soap also. I would go fairly strong as your trying to smother the aphids, and I don't think it will hurt the roses.
Reply:Lady bugs, they eat them.
You can buy them, even on line.

Replacing strings on a floyd rose bridge on guitar?
i have an ibanez s with a zr (floyd rose type) bridge. how do you replace strings on this type of bridge? whoever gives the best and most detailed answer gets 10 points. also, if you can give a good link to some instructions, you might get the points aswell.
thx in advance
Replacing strings on a floyd rose bridge on guitar?
It's been done nicely already:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floyd_Rose#...
Reply:A ZR? That bridge can do wonders. However, this is probably the most complicated bridge to replace your strings. I have a ZR on my S320.Before you do all of this, do a dive bomb (without playing the string) on the bridge, HOLD IT WHEN YOU GET DOWN!, and put a AAA battery under the bridge. This will keep it level while changing strings. Before inserting new strings, oil the fretboard if you have any lemon oil. Don't oil a maple fretboard though.The nut and saddles should still be unclamped. Now, remove the first string you will be putting on from the package. Snip the ball end of the string off using your string cutters. Now insert one end of the string into the corresponding saddle. Screw in the saddle until it is fully clamped on the string. Now, insert the string into the locking nut and pull through. Wrap the string around the tuning post as you normally would and tighten until it's in the area of being somewhat in tune (don't bother tuning precisely yet). Repeat this process with every string. After all the strings are on and in the range of tuning, remove the AAA battery you placed under the bridge earlier. Now tune up the strings one at a time. Because of the Zero Point system, tuning of one string won't change as drastically as it would on a normal Floyd Rose. You still will have to tune several times until the strings are balanced with one another. After you are in tune (the nut should not be clamped yet) take a look at the bridge. Is it level with the body of the guitar? If not, then take your allen key to the back of the guitar. See the little silver thing? Screw that in to increase tension on the bridge and to bring it into the body, or unscrew it to relieve tension and make the bridge come out of the body more (how convenient). You'll want the bridge to be as level as possible, so tune after each time you make the bridge level (String tension affects the bridge's leveling out).
After the bridge is level and your guitar is in tune again, screw the clamps on the nut until they are locked down. Now, adjust the tuning with the fine tuners. You will have to retune several times using the fine tuners for the strings to be balanced and in tune. If you find that the find tuners cannot screw in or unscrew any more, unclamp the nut and screw the fine tuner up or down until it has sufficient room to move. Then, retune with normal tuners, reclamp the nut, and adjust the tuning with the fine tuners. Hopes this helps, This method is probably the fastest you're gonna find it.

How can I remove rose petal (natural/fresh/red) stains from a white bath?
The bath water drained away overnight and the petals sat in contact. A browny/blue stain has been left behind.
How can I remove rose petal (natural/fresh/red) stains from a white bath?
Try the magic eraser.
Reply:if the bleach doesn't work....try peroxide
Ne Blessed!
Reply:Bleach that stays on the stain longer would help like in the product Tilex. A few applications will be necessary.If this is not feasible make a paste of Comet cleanser with bleach and apply, let dry and scrub away. 2-3 applications may be needed.Since the stains are organic, they will be easy to remove. Beware of the Magic Eraser, the product is just a dense piece of foam and falls apart very easily. Good luck and have a shinier tub.
Reply:Use chlorine bleach and water, about half and half and make sure that the water can't 'drain away' (you may need to put some plastic over the 'plug' to make sure) while the bleach has time to work. Do it in the early morning, and check it several times during the day. The 'stain' is from 'rot' of the petals and it may actually take a few 'days' of soaking your tub to get it 'white' again.

Can you grow a rose bush from a cut stem?
My friend trimmed my rosebush and told me to stick the cut stems in fertilized soil right away and possibly a new bush will develop. Is this true? I did it, but I question this method. How long will it usually takes to root itself? Will it even root? I put the stems in the soil 3 weeks ago, but have no idea what to expect. Should I leave them there?
Can you grow a rose bush from a cut stem?
often times roses will root this way. it works best if all be the top leaves are removed and there are joints...or areas where the leaves were joined to the plant..below the soil surface. keep them moist (a piece of plastic wrap over the top to make a sorta mini greenhouse helps) it may take several weeks...so be patient.
the best and most reliable method of rooting roses is to take a long stem and bend it over till it will lay on the surface of the ground, scrap the bottom (where it is gonna touch the soil) and place a brick or heavy rock on top. This will keep it in contact with the soil. in a few weeks it will be rooted and you can clip it off the mother plant to place it where ever you desire.
hope this helps. :)
Reply:Yes, it works. There's a technique used by plant propagators and if you are really interested I will give you the exact directions --but if the stems aren't dried up and brown YET they are probably trying to root right now.
It takes about 6 weeks usually --before they develop enough of a root system to grow a new plant. However you should leave them alone as long as you can stand it before transplanting them; they'll be stronger and more likely to survive. If you'd like you can begin watering them with a weak solution of Miracle Grow; that would give them a boost since it would furnish nutrients needed to form the roots. Water lightly once a week with the solution.
You are doing everything right. Just dont fuss over them.
Reply:I don't believe this will work. I have been gardening for over 50 years and have never heard or read that this was possible.
Reply:Yes, I have done this but only in the fall. I cut a stem from a rose just below a bud line. Dip the tip in rooting powder and put it in the ground. Cover with a glass canning jar and leave it alone for the winter. There will be new growth in the spring when you remove the jar.
You could try the same thing now, without the jar, and see if it works. Make sure it gets plenty of sun and water and a little fertilizer.
Reply:Yes, you can. I've never tried it, but I plan on giving it a go soon. I've seen it done and I know that you have to cut the stem below a node and dip it in rooting hormone and keep the soil moist.

When to prune my Rose of Sharons?
Rose of Sharon blooms on new wood, so prune the plants in the winter while they are dormant. They will put on new growth in the spring and buds will develop on that new growth.
Reply:Mine just finished blooming, too, and I plan to prune them back this weekend. I'm in zone 9 and we don't usually get hard freezes. But the answerer is right above, they do bloom on new wood so you can prune them anytime during the late fall or winter while they are dormant.

Will there be blood everywhere and a rotting mouse left behind?
How much will my vivarium be messed up after my Chilian Rose tarantula has eaten a pinkie mouse?
More then likely not.. They are more methodical eaters and will roll it up in a food bolus when they're done with it. You will want to spot clean it right after otherwise it will smell awful in a day or two.
She'll just pick it up and methodically eat it then roll up the leftovers in a food bolus.
Well, that's if she's hungry. Grammostola rosea will often fast for months at a time.
Reply:There won't be any mess. I've never seen anything from my rose hair, not even bones or any other waste. All spiders inject venom to kill their prey, and stomach acid to dissolve it. Pinky mice have very weak bones which are easily dissolved by the rose hair, meaning when it is done eating, there is nothing left.
Reply:youll have to take the mouses body out after the tarantula is done with it or it will start to stink.
Im not a big fan of feeding mice to tarantulas anyways. I think theres better things you could feed it. But its up to you.

Where does the blue rose come from?
Not sure of the history, but Rosa 'Blue Moon' is meant to be the closest to true blue http://www.vanmeuwen.com/plant/67530
In reality, it's a kind of mauve... I have one.
Reply:They where propagated, grafted for many years to produce the array of bluish colors. I believe they where first introduced in USA, but I'm not for sure. Actually there is no true blue rose. Only lavenders,and purplish colors. Just like the Black Rose. There is no rose that is an actual Black,but I have seen one that was pretty darned close! Most black roses are a very dark red . Byee
Reply:Japan, i guess, because I've heard that Japanese scientists just created the first true blue rose!

What is a good sweet, rose' wine that won't put a huge dent in my wallet?
I don't know a whole lot about wine, but what is a good, sweet, rose' wine that isn't super expensive?
What is a good sweet, rose' wine that won't put a huge dent in my wallet?
My favorite Rose is Vin Gris de Cigare from Bonny Doon. It is a relatively inexpensive ($10-14) Rose which is full of fruit and floral scent, not overly sweet and fairly complex for a rose wine. It is made by a wine genius from California, and it is, by far, one of the very few rose I would even bother to drink, not mentioning keep around in my cellar. Besides, the label is heck of fun to read.
Once you like Rose, think of Etude Rose, which is about $25 and more complex, but also more expensive.
Good luck.

It is about 10-12. I like this one the best of most I have tried.
A great site is wine.com. You can get great wines at low prices. It also has wonderful descriptions and reveiws.
Reply:2 Buck Chuck is made by the Bronco Wine Company (Franzia) and its nothing but Franzia in a glass bottle. They just open up valve 143 ( I think) to fill up that bottling line.
Did you know the genius at Trader Joe's whom came up with Charles Shaw (2 Buck Chuck) was fired?
Yep. He dumbed down the whole Trader Joe's concept and now their stuck with a contact for a lake more of that garbage. Its not better than anything unless you think Franzia box wine is better than anything else. Why do you think they're selling it in other markets now? They're drowning in Two Buck Chuck and the so called blind tastings are bogus. They are a marketing ploy to move the juice.
For a REAL rose wine that's semisweet try:
Wattle Creek Rose
Vinum Cellars Rose (although not that sweet it seems so)
Reply:I would go with Oliver soft rosé wine. It costs around $8.00 for a 750mL. And it is also very delicious!

How to dry a rose bouquet?
I have a beautiful bouquet of long stem red roses that my husband gave me for Valentines Day. So far I've kept them fresh by putting them in the fridge every night and they still look brand new. Now I want to dry them though and use them as decoration in my living room.
I know that usually you are supposed to hang them upside down in a dry, dark place to dry them, but we live in a very humid area (right now the thermometer says the humidity is at 56%).
Would hanging them upside down in a dark place still work or is there some other trick I need to know?
Oh, and FYI, I live in North Africa and we do not have arts and crafts stores here. Any tricks would have to be something simple that I can do at home without having to buy anything special.
How to dry a rose bouquet?
I have successfully dried roses with humidity at about that level. Just give it a try, and find the driest, dark place such as a closet. A gentle fan might help keep the humidity down, but don't point it at the flowers too much.
Reply:I found this answer in the first link. It also shows you how to make potpourri out of them (I'd rather have the flowers, not the potpourri). The other link teaches you how to use other methods (like microwave and silica gel). I dont recommend that since silica gel is not readily available in stores (have to go to a craft/fabric store). Hope this helps!!
For best results, we recommend that you arrange the roses in a vase with water and floral preservative, as you would with a regular arrangement. Let the roses open up until they are approximately halfway open. if you do not let them open at all, you end up with very small buds (if this is what you are looking for, proceed with the following instructions). After you have allowed the roses to partially open, remove them from the vase, tie a string around the bottom of the stems and hang the bunch upside down in a dry place. It will, depending on the humidity, take about two weeks for the roses to completely dehydrate. You will know when they are dry enough by gently squeezing the buds. If they are still soft then they are not yet dry. When the buds are quite firm, you may untie them and arrange as desired. It is possible to spray the buds with a 'hardener' (available at many craft stores), or hairspray, after they have dried. Doing this will help preserve the flowers and prevent crumbling.

What is eating my rose leaves and leaving little black balls?
I can't see a bug, only little black balls on some of the leaves. The pest is eating the leaves completely off, leaving only the stem and main "veins" of the leaf. The plant seems healthy and is blooming, but it just hardly has any leaves. It is surely being eaten, as opposed to mold or rot or something, because I can see the holes and the edges look just like some little teeth ate them.
What is eating my rose leaves and leaving little black balls?
Snail poop! Slug Poop!You can not see them because they eat mostly at nightfall and are very good at hiding.Snails do not have teeth but they eat as though they do.Turn rocks, or borders over that are near by and I bet you will find the culprits!The slugs are little harder to spot, usually dark wet%26amp; looking They stay out of the heat in the day in darker cooler places.
You can sprinkle some snail bait around you plants and it will take care of the problem.

Can you bring a rose back to life once it is dried up?
If so, how. I tried cutting off the bottom of the stem. Didn't seem to work. Answers are appreciated.
Can you bring a rose back to life once it is dried up?
No. If you are really desperate you can try soaking the whole thing in water (laying on its side and weighted) to rehydrate, but they reach a point and they are gone. All roses either dry out or drop petals eventually.
You could preserve it as is -- borax in the laundry soap aisle is used for drying/preserving flowers -- or make beads of the petals. The link for the following recipe calls for 4 cups, so you would have to get other rose petals.
You could also wear a pressed petal in a locket. (I'm assuming you are trying to keep this rose longer out of affection for the giver.)

I just planted these rose bushes that are full of blooms i know it says to cut back to 5th leaf but that would
that would be cutting back like 12 inches on some of the roses is that normal? or should i just let that bloom die on the bush? it is a gold medal rose bush most of the blooms are on long stems like more that 12 inches until the first 3 leaf sprout. thanks for the help..also.. i am not cutting to have a bouquet i am talking about dead heading the roses.

Nah dont cut that far. I've tended to my moms rose bushes every year. Just cut half an inch under the dead rose and they come back faster.
Reply:Don't dead head until the blooms are spent. Meaning, they are no longer vibrant in color and the petals get a bit "droopy."
Reply:yeah cut back to wherever it says. growth hormones on plants are usually found at the tips, so they tend to grow tall. therefore, by cutting off the tips, the growth hormones are taken away so they grow evenly in all directions, so you get a nicer shaped rose bush.

THE ROSE - NAMED FOR EROS, THE GREEK GOD OF LOVE
Reply:Because a nice rose takes a lot of time and energy to produce. Back in the day, to receive a nice rose from somebodies rose bush meant that person was willing to give a part of all that time and labor to show how much they cared. Now days you can go buy them in the store but the price still reflects how much effort goes into producing a beautiful rose. There fragrance and there beauty is also a large part of why they are so romantic.Hope this helped. My wife actually prefers carnations to roses, I guess to each there own.

When buying a rose bush how do you identify which ones bloom all summer?
I have never had roses before and want to try one.I know nothing about them,just they are beautiful.What is a good hardy one.Are they hard to grow ?
When buying a rose bush how do you identify which ones bloom all summer?
Here is a list of roses that supposedly bloom all summer
Reply:How hard they are to grow will depend on where you come from. I'm from New Zealand in a temperate climate and I haven't had any problems, but if you're in an area which gets snow you may have to shelter them over winter.
As to roses which bloom over a longer period, look for the word 'remontant', it basically means repeat flowering.
You might want to try some of the 'English' roses aka 'David Austin' roses. His have been bred to look old fashioned but bloom over a longer period. Some are hardier than others.
I also like the 'flower carpet' roses. They're grown especially to form a ground cover rather than a bush and they flower most of the year around. I have red, pale yellow and white. They also come in a shocking pink (not nice!) and a pale salmonish pink colour.
Also, my favourite rose of all is 'Iceberg'. It's considered to be quite 'common' these days, but who cares. It was my first ever rose and what got me started. It blooms for months on end and because of its white colour it won't clash with anything in your garden.
Hope this'll get you started. Try 'googling' or 'yahooing' either remontant roses or repeat flowering roses. You'll find heaps.
Also any good garden centre worth its salt will help.
And... try your local library. Check out their rose books to see what appeals to your taste in roses.
Cheers
Anna.
Reply:An excellent, easy care, very disease resistant rose variety is "Knock Out". This is a variety that is intended to be low-care, yet very attractive and it is a very constant bloomer. The flowers are a dark pink color.
It is important to note that "Knock Out" roses are not like the roses you get at the Florist. They have less petals, although they are still very pretty, and much easier to take care of than florist-type roses.
There are a couple other "Knock Out" roses in different colors -- "Blushing Pink Knock Out", "Pink Knock Out", and "Double Knock Out", which has more petals than the original.
Having said this, winter-hardiness can be a problem in extremely cold areas such as the state of Maine or Vermont, the upper midwest, and areas in Canada such as Alberta or Manitoba. If you are in an extremely cold climate, you may be better off with a Rugosa rose such as "Hansa". In addition, in extremely cold climates, once-blooming roses like the Gallicas and Albas may also be a good choice. Although they bloom only once without repeat, the "show" is often spectacular, and Gallicas are often extremely fragrant.
An excellent place to get more information on growing roses in your particular area is the rose forum at gardenweb.com. You can get very detailed information on every rose you can think of at that site.

When buying a rose bush how do you identify which ones bloom all summer?
Here is a list of roses that supposedly bloom all summer
Reply:How hard they are to grow will depend on where you come from. I'm from New Zealand in a temperate climate and I haven't had any problems, but if you're in an area which gets snow you may have to shelter them over winter.
As to roses which bloom over a longer period, look for the word 'remontant', it basically means repeat flowering.
You might want to try some of the 'English' roses aka 'David Austin' roses. His have been bred to look old fashioned but bloom over a longer period. Some are hardier than others.
I also like the 'flower carpet' roses. They're grown especially to form a ground cover rather than a bush and they flower most of the year around. I have red, pale yellow and white. They also come in a shocking pink (not nice!) and a pale salmonish pink colour.
Also, my favourite rose of all is 'Iceberg'. It's considered to be quite 'common' these days, but who cares. It was my first ever rose and what got me started. It blooms for months on end and because of its white colour it won't clash with anything in your garden.
Hope this'll get you started. Try 'googling' or 'yahooing' either remontant roses or repeat flowering roses. You'll find heaps.
Also any good garden centre worth its salt will help.
And... try your local library. Check out their rose books to see what appeals to your taste in roses.
Cheers
Anna.
Reply:An excellent, easy care, very disease resistant rose variety is "Knock Out". This is a variety that is intended to be low-care, yet very attractive and it is a very constant bloomer. The flowers are a dark pink color.

"Just as the rose is red is nature beautiful!" What do you think?
I am looking to find arguments for and against realism with respect to beauty. Is beauty a universal, is it absolute, or is it just in the eye of the beholder? Serious answers only, please.
"Just as the rose is red is nature beautiful!" What do you think?
Beauty is subjective;it is culturally and experienced based and it can change depending on your mood so its not a static thing, what you think is beautiful today you may not always believe to be beautiful.

Reply:As there is considerable precision in Nature at the atomic and subatomic levels, and in the cosmological constants, organic sensibility, including psi at quantum levels ("Psychoenergetic Science," Dr. William A. Tiller, http://www.tiller.org http://www.quantumbrain.org http://www.divinecosmos.com http://www.heartmath.org http://www.noetic.org and "Extraordinary Knowing," Dr. Elizabeth Mayer) "naturally" finds resonance and attunement to same, "symmetric" and "harmonious" hence "beautiful."
If God Is, this "beauty" moves transuniversally unto "Beauty," "Love divine," "Truth," and the like. The assertorial evidence for this is post-newtonian/kantian classical 5-sense material data, and involves quantum mechanics, eeg, etc. The absolute Qualia are found evidentially in this progression: eeg studies of Tibetan Buddhist "insight meditators," who rapidly and reliably enter high gamma wave states during (their) protocol, a state-specificity associated with maslowian "peak creativity and mentative insight." Ordinary beta-wave state scientists and philosophers have no direct Platonic under-standing ("hypo-thesis") of these (save during periods of "inspiration and insight"), so their beta wave state-specific "understanding" is superficial at best, mere "marking and tracing." If this sounds like the classic newtonian/kantian spirituality/philosophy divide, it is now superceded by the eeg evidence indicating a Kant in his outer beta activity simply errs when trying e.g. to deny Emmanuel Swedenborg's factual clear-seeing of a distant contemporaneous event. (Kant's denial relates to his empty Noumenon notion, which is an overly-beta wave attempt to control real perceptions by denying those which are non-beta state.)
The next step is in general typified by the Tibetan example: while beta-wave scientists and/or scientism is busy tracing eegs, the monks are experiencing lucid new information from living Helper Beings, "Dakini." Here is Swedenborg-level psi or soulfield coherency and resonance with "higher octaves" of energy.
To mark and confirm such is the uncomfortable position which science finds itself, in such observations. Hence, the general field is unpopular, per Kant's observation that most scientists would not be interested in investigating a Swedenborg. It is more than ironic that similar outlier data, e.g. perturbations in Mercury's orbit, were dismissed by newtonian 19th century physics, and taken up by Einstein to point to general and special relativity.
So, too, when a Host of Light is predicted at Garabandal, Spain, in the early 1960s, by a peasant child who is even disappointed by the "small" miracle, then appears in thin air, filmed by many sceptics, science is not interested in this one-time, non-duplicatable phenomenon, albeit it falsifies materialist laws of physics.
The increase of scientific data (e.g., Dr. Tiller's meditators reliably and significantly induce quantum effects otherwise obtainable only with high-tech physics apparatus) has reached a trans-ignorance/trans-scepticism level, such that philosophy must take note of same, and incorporate same, else fail in the Wittgensteinian-Kantian program to continue understanding world per science data.
The next step is the marking and tracing of the Swedenborgian far-seeing in laboratory controlled and replicable conditions, so far as possible. The issue or stasis is now "certitude" in Wittgenstein's and others' sense: e.g., is the telepathic and Light-symbol information of the Tibetan "Dakini" Helper Beings a) novel, indicating beyond-"creative" Source; and b) is there an alternative, e.g. "morphic field" explanation plausibly retaining only a physicalist, albeit with finer energy information fields, explanation.
This question has already become germane; e.g. "Penetration," Ingo Swann, and "Entangled Minds," Dr. Dean Radin, describe statistical work which demonstrates novel information a la "Helper Beings" is being obtained, e.g. by "remote viewing," "out-of-body" experience, etc. The Monroe Institute has recorded with very unique detail, two simultaneous trained oob individuals' simultaneous encounters with other loci and even beings there, which correlate well beyond chance.
"Entering the Circle," psychiatrist Olga Kharitidi's account of her participation in developing an oob-inducing apparatus at a major physics institute in the 1980s, is also telling in this regard. (Both the Monroe Institute and her work end public disclosure in the 1980s, with the MI being involved with U.S. military and intel programs. Background: there was a disinformation salient during the Carter years regarding the statistical validity of these programs, and they were officially discontinued, or, as been surmised, taken off the public budget. Participants in the evaluation team, as well as Dr. Mayer, have analyzed the data, and determined that indeed the programs were successful, well beyond chance.)
At this juncture, the psi quantum interface, e.g. of Dr. Tiller's SU(2) quantum model of biofield energetics and of Dr. Robert Jahn/Dr. Mayer's similar, less-detailed model, is under refinement per further experimentation per various research teams. That novel and reliable data and effects are obtained, is also established. The question is now, is the "Source" merely a physicalist Sheldrake morphic field, a Ernst Laszlo's "Quantum Shift/akashic field," or related to the mainstream biophysicists (Dr. Chang in PRC, Dr. Popp in Germany) work listed in Lynne McTaggart's "The Field" (%26lt;%26gt;),http://www.lifescientists.de/ib0203e_1.h... or is there "more" qua "helper beings," "angels," "God"?
For those rare individuals who have demonstrated abilities beyond the "mere physical field" and who have stated their encounters with such "lifeforms," herewith a list of some of the more reliable/credible:
"The Masters and Their Retreats," Mark Prophet (who also has a heuristic look at transhumanism in "The Soulless One");
Ann Ree Colton, "Men in White Apparel," "Watch Your Dreams," and "Kundalini West" (she, a modest seer, was on occasion giving a public lecture, and spontaneously levitated several feet over a railing and into the front rows of the audience; such events are no better than a group of scientists observing Jesus walking on the water, and deciding such is uninformative, as unreplicable in the laboratory).
"Light Is a Living Spirit," "Hope for the World: Spiritual Galvanoplasty," "Man's Subtle Bodies and Centres," "Creation: Artistic and Spiritual," and "Looking into the Invisible," Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov, whose life story is given in Louise-Marie Frenette's "The Beautiful Story of a Master. These books are even less demanding than the undergraduate generalist level to which Mark Prophet ("Climb the Highest Mountain" is another seminal source) wrote, as Aivanhov lectured to student/the interested public, and his books are collections of his oral teachings. Profound insights are given in these books, albeit one must have resonance or "ears to hear" aka "read between the lines."
"Life before Life," Jim Tucker, M.D., and "Babies Remember Birth," David Chamberlain, Ph.D., may be of some interest as general background, likewise, "The Reincarnation of Edgar Cayce?", Free and Wilcock.
In fine, the post-kantian era, beginning around Whitehead, Husserl, and Bergson, and dealing with quantum level evidence in human spirit/potential, and with more subtle protocols such as in insight meditation, finds some resonance in the Kyoto School, e.g. Tanabe's "Philosophy as Metanoetics," but the 1990s and beyond have seen a further torrent of reliable investigation into "psychoenergetic science," and reductionist "neurophilosophers" are being left behind in their beta wave state atomism and "trees."

One's idea of beauty can (and does) change. I have met many people whom i initially believed to be beautiful, but turned out they were ugly.

Reply:Beauty is completely subjective. It doesn't exist except in the human approval of one thing over another.
Reply:As far as nature...it is beautiful, cruel, funny, sad and wise...it just "is".
In terms of beauty, it is in the eye of the beholder with one caveat. If one understands nature, one can make a distinction in terms of beauty. If one doesn't, then many of natures faces might seem ugly. Growing up in the country and learning the different faces and sides of nature that were available to me, I think it is beautiful. It exists on a level and in a rhythm of it's own. There are cycles, seasons, and ebb and flow. Sometimes nature seems harsh with natural disasters on a large scale, or just cruel on a small scale. It is in the checks and balances that the overall picture comes into sight.
And, sometimes nature is "over the top". Hurricane Katrina, tornadoes in the Midwest, destructive earthquakes,(and I have been an observer of these!)occur and losses are counted, in lives and financially. However, it IS nature. She has no conscience, she does what she does because of who she is...why would we expect differently?
