How do I care for my rose bushes?

Do I prune the old decayed roses? How do I do it? What should I spray and when for insects? This time of year, do roses continue to bloom? I bought a house with roses everywhere, but bugs are getting to them.


I DO NOT have a green thumb… I have roses that are taller than me- how should I trim/prune them..HELP PLEASE?

All my plants die… I’m trying lol Can somebody help me? I also have artichokes – will they come back next year or should I pull all my plants (tomatoes, roses, artichokes,grape tomatoes..etc)


My standard rose , growing in a large pot,has not flowered at all this year ?

It has produced a long leaved stem halfway up the trunk and a sucker has appeared at the base, The top has not produced any leaves at all ! Any ideas on what to do next please?
I have had it for 2 years and it has flowered profusely for the past 2 summers


HOW can I GROW FLOWERS/roses that are good enough to create a BOUQUET?

I buy bouquets every week for my family member’s graves in the cemetery and I have to give up a lot to save up for flowers.

I have a pretty big gardening area and was wondering if it would be possible to grow my own roses.

HOW ARE THE ROSES and BOUQUETS SOLD IN STORES GROWN???

THE STEMS ARE SO LONG AND THE ROSES ARE SO PERFECT


Ok I have a rose garden and keep it indoors. Why did cops come by and ask to search my home?


Easy Macroeconomics question!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?

The table shows the distribution of total expenditure on the CPI market basket across several broad categories.

Category of Goods and Services % of Market Basket
Apparel 4%
Education and Communication 6%
Food and Beverages 16%
Housing 41%
Medical Care 6%
Other Goods and Services 4%
Recreation 6%
Transportation 17%

My grandmother’s Social Security pension is indexed for inflation. Last year inflation, as measured by the change in the CPI, was 1.4%. My grandmother spends 20% of her income on medical care. If the average cost of medical care rose 5% last year, which of the following statements is true? (Assume that the rest of the components of the CPI experienced percentage increases in their prices that were equal to a common value. Because the cost of the basket went up by 1.4% and the cost of medical goods went up by 5%, the cost of all the other goods must have increased by less than 5%.)

A. Indexation guarantees that my grandmother’s standard of living stays the same.

B. The CPI likely underestimated inflation for my grandmother and she is receiving less than enough additional money to keep her standard of living constant.

C. The CPI likely overestimated inflation for my grandmother and she is receiving more than enough additional money to keep her standard of living constant.

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???


will the resurrection plant/rose of jerico get new growth?

i have a plant and like only half the leaves r left was wondering if the plant will regenerate and also wondering if you can plant it in potting soil or do you just leave it as it is and only add water when needed….thanks
i only have this plant in water, can you plant it in soil as well?


I got some roses for a performance I did, they have long stems, can I plant them?

My mom just bought them at Kroger for me, and I think it would be fun to plant them. They have about 8″ stems, if you need any more information just tell me. Oh, and they are red roses.
Oh, and when I grow them does it need to be in a pot or the ground, and should I cut the stems shorter?
