Guns N’ Roses – Yesterdays Music Video Lyrics: (Arkeen / James / Billy / Rose) Yesterday, there was so many things I was never told Now that I’m startin’ to learn I feel I’m growing old ‘Cause yesterday’s got nothin’ for me Old pictures that I’ll always see Time just fades the pages In my book of memories Prayers in my pocket And no hand in destiny I’ll keep on movin’ along With no time to plant my feet ‘Cause yesterday’s got nothin’ for me Old pictures that I’ll always see Some things could be better If we’d all just let them be Yesterday’s got nothin’ for me Yesterday’s got nothin’ for me Got nothin’ for me Yesterday, there was so many things I was never shown Suddenly this time I found I’m on the streets and I’m all alone Yesterday’s got nothin’ for me Old pictures that I’ll always see I ain’t got time to reminisce old novelties Yesterday’s got nothin’ for me Yesterday’s got nothin’ for me Yesterday’s got nothin’ for me Yesterday Yesterday

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, rhizobia, available soil P and nodulation of groundnut (Arachis hypogaea) in Zimbabwe [An article from: Agriculture, Ecosystems and Environment]

This digital document is a journal article from Agriculture, Ecosystems and Environment, published by Elsevier in . The article is delivered in HTML format and is available in your Amazon.com Media Library immediately after purchase. You can view it with any web browser.

Description:
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal (AMF) colonization and nodulation of groundnut were examined in nine soils collected from subsistence farmers’ fields in Zimbabwe. Nodule number, shoot dry weight, shoot N and P contents, and AMF colonization were assessed after 6 weeks growth. Both nodule number and AMF colonization differed by an order of magnitude among the nine soils. Soil available P explained almost all the variability in nodule number (r^2=0.98), but had no significant effect on percent AMF colonization. By adding P to one soil, nodule numbers increased four-fold resulting in a significantly higher N content in the shoots. Similar, but smaller, effects were obtained by increasing the abundance of AMF through an inoculation with Glomus intraradices, suggesting that nodulation in this soil was limited by AMF abundance and that the fungi could, to a limited extent, substitute for P fertilizer.

Ways to propagate Roses

There are several ways to propagate rose.  Some of them are easy to practice but some need the skill and experience.  Les’ understand how to do it and then you can enjoy more with the rose!

1. Cutting is commonly used method of reproducing roses as it’s easy and quick.

The best time to take cuttings from plants is when they are growing vigorously, typically in early summer/spring to mid autumn.  Stems that are neither brand new nor fully mature and have fading flowers (or flowers that just lost their petals) are desirable. A stem with a flower bud showing no color is too young.
Select healthy wood: not too young or too old, no disease or pest- each cutting wants to be about 6″ long, and the thickness of a pencil with 3-4 buds on it.

Pros – Taking cuttings is an easy way to quickly and cheaply increase your rose stocks.

Cons – The plant will become weak and gives fewer flowers in 3-4 years

-          Some roses will do well on their own roots. Some won’t such as white and yellow roses. But there seems to be a move by nurseries these days to grow roses on their own roots where possible. You will find that older style roses, climbers, ramblers and miniatures do well like this. Whereas Hybrid Teas can be too highly bred to perform well unless they are grafted onto a good rootstock.

2. grafting/budding

Budding techniques can be considered to be grafting without leaves on the scion. When you take a scion with some leaves, you are doing grafting. Grafting techniques often require high humidity for the leaves not to wilt. This means the use of a misting system or plastic bag to keep the moisture

Mid summer is the best time to bud roses. You need the sap to be at full flow, giving the new bud a chance to “take”.  Maybe a few weeks before mid summer is OK, as long as there is good strong fresh growth on the plants.
The popular root roses are Rosa multiflora or R.indical (R. chinensis) because they’re tough and durable.

Pro – Fit for the weak rose to grow by the root of the wild strong rose.  Combing strength of 2 different roses: weak rose but having beautiful color or strong fragrance and wild rose which has strong root and can grow up well.

Con – Budding/grafting is more complicate and you need to have the skill or experience to do it.

3. Seeding

It’s not popular ways of reproducing roses because successful rate is less but at the same time, other ways are easier and faster

You can get the rose seed by collecting pollen from the stamens of one flower, and then use that to fertilize the stigmas of another.  Midsummer is the good time to pollinate the rose. With any luck, the hips will start to swell, and will be ready to harvest in early autumn (fall).

 

You can find how to reproduce rose in detail in the below sources.  They explain the process and tips clearly.

Rugosa Roses – Fragrant, Tough and Handsome Shrub Roses

Rugosa Roses are some of the toughest and most handsome shrub roses available. They are fragrant, black spot and mildew resistant and are vigorous growers – blooming recurrently throughout the season. Rugosa Roses can be distinguished from other roses by their tough, textured, deeply veined foliage and erect spiny stems. In contrast to their foliage, the blooms of the Rugosa Roses appears very fragile, almost like silk that has been crinkled.

Rugosas prefer light, sandy soil in full sun to partial shade, making them especially suited for seashore planting. Rugosa Roses tolerate both salt and drought. Rugosas require no spraying for disease and little fertilization. Unlike other roses, deer never touch Rugosas. In autumn Rugosas have beautiful, orange-red hips, rich in vitamin C, which attract wildlife and are useful for jelly. Rugosa Roses are ideal for hedges and planted in masses for erosion control, especially in sand dunes.

]]>

Originally from China, Japan and Korea, Rugosa Roses come in a variety of sizes and colors – white, several shades of pink and red to almost purple. This week we are featuring the most disease resistant Rugosa of them all – a rose with single, pastel pink blooms on a neat compact plant – Fru Dagmar Hastrup.

Fru Dagmar Hastrup – The Most Sought After Rugosa Rose

Created in Denmark in 1914, Fru Dagmar Hastrup is loved for its abundance of cherry red hips in the fall and its elegant pink blooms that emit a sweet clove-like fragrance. Its blooms will reach two to three inches across and repeat exceptionally well throughout the season and it has the unusual ability to display hips and blooms concurrently. The rich, green foliage will turn maroon and then gold in the fall. Fru Dagmar will reach only four feet tall and wide. A lovely addition to any garden.

Planting and Care

For best results plant in spring or fall.

Prefers a light, sandy soil in full sun to partial shade. Remarkably tolerant of shade and heavy clay soil.

Fertilize with Rose-Tone.

Deer resistant.

Hardy in Zones 3-9.
