Honestly guys do not care for flowers or candy or even valentines day. He wont tell you that so as not to hurt your feelings but he did tell you no rose so no it is not a mixed signal. where ever you got the idea that guys want roses for valentines day you are wrong. If it makes you feel better about it then go ahead and continue your traditions but I do not think he cares about the roses and don’t let that hurt your feelings because it is a guy thing.

Tips For Growing A Perfect Rose Of Sharon Garden

Rose Of Sharon

Many among us dream of having a huge house with a beautiful and colorful garden. Of course, not all of us manage to realize such dreams. It is important to know that you can always start creating your own garden especially if you are determined enough to do it. For example, if you want to create a rose of sharon garden, then the first thing you need to do is to see if you have the necessary space and the necessary patience to start the project and maintain it over the months. If you have said yes to those requirements, then there is no reason for you not to start your rose of sharon garden.

 

Having a beautiful flower garden is really inspiring however small your home is. You might be living in a very wide rural lot or you can live in a one or two bedroom apartment. This, however, can be good enough reason for you to start your very own small garden despite the size of your living space. It is important to remember that with flower gardens, you can wake up to beautiful sights in the morning; you can breathe fresher air and you can even enjoy the scent of blooms. However, it is important to be reminded that no flower garden would grow beautifully without you giving the needed effort and without enough labor.

If you are a beginner to gardening, then you can start of with your rose of sharon garden by starting out small. You can reserve a specific plot in your backyard, in your front yard or even in your terrace. Compute for the available square feet of space and determine if you are going to plant your flowers directly on land or using flower pots.

 

It is also essential to keep in mind that not all kinds of flower plants grow on the same way and conditions. You have to determine if your particular flower can grow in the kind of climate your place has. Not only that, you should also evaluate the soil quality in your area because they can affect the growth and blooms of your flower plants.

 

It is important that your small rose of sharon garden get sufficient sunlight. This does not mean that you have to subject the flowers to too much sun the whole day. It is important that you give it right amount of sunlight to let your plants grow healthy, strong and flowering.

 

Whether you are after a small garden full of rose of sharons or if you are after a garden with different kinds of plants and fruit-bearing trees, it is important to keep in mind that you must first learn about it and practice. Do not be disappointed once you start planting and find your plants not flowering even after months. You must evaluate where the process went wrong and you must pinpoint the solution you can do to have a successful flower garden.

Where can I learn how to care for my CL Don Juan climbing rose bush?

Question by AMBER: Where can I learn how to care for my CL Don Juan climbing rose bush?
I have wanted a rose bush so my friend got me one. I’ve been looking on the internet trying to find how to care for it (its a Don Juan) and having some trouble. I would like if you could recommend a couple websites to try. I’m a little worried because what I’ve found is that they are sort of difficult to care for. I need to know how to support it, protect it from winter, how to plant it so it’s well drained, and other basic information. I have never had a rose bush so I want to succeed with this one. Also I need to know if there is a good video you can recommend about how to prune roses.

how to cut rose branches so the roses grow back?

Question by Yas: how to cut rose branches so the roses grow back?

please help. pictures would really help!! thanks.

Answer by jaimin
A rose tree is a regular rose variety that has been grafted onto another rose with a stronger cane, the part that looks like the trunk of the tree. Trimming a rose tree serves two functions. First, pruning is necessary to promote healthy growth of the roses and is done as you would normally do with a hybrid tea rose bush. Throughout the summer, deadhead the rose blooms after they have died, and in spring, remove dead branches and other branches to strengthen the rose. Second, trimming the rose tree into a dome shape maintains the aesthetic, making it look more tree-like.

The Christmas Rose is One Deer-Resistant Plant You Should Not Be Without

We call the Christmas rose, also known as the Lenten rose, one of the best deer-resistant plants for your garden. They are the best-known and best-loved of all the hellebores. These hellebores are the perfect plant for those areas in your garden where deer like to munch the night away. The deer steer clear of these plants because they are actually poisonous if eaten. They have a serrated leaf that would be very unpleasant to eat.We have thousands of them and I have never seen one eaten or munched on by a deer or a family pet. They are listed as being poisonous to animals.

Not actually in the rose family at all, but in the Ranunculus order, this perennial is a gift from nature that shows its glory in the dead of winter. They are a native of Southern Europe and grow well throughout the south

We like to call it the “plant it and forget it” plant because it is an evergreen plant that is virtually pest free, drought tolerant, and deer resistant. You absolutely need this plant in your garden as it can solve many of your problems and it reseeds readily which enables you to have knew plants to transplant once they get an inch or two tall and the ground is not frozen. Plant these gems in an area where you can see them easily in the winter because they will bloom for you from December through March (or Lent) and will cheer up the most dreary of days. They are also excellent for early color in shady herbaceous borders and areas between deciduous shrubs and under trees. None of the hellebores mind competition from tree roots. It grows into a wonderful clump about three feet wide and one foot tall and it makes a great ground cover. We love its pure white flowers (which turn to pink later in the season) and the fact that it is an evergreen. Each plant will have lots of flowers in a variety of colors from pure whites, primrose yellows, pure green, and dark midnight purples depending on which type you have.

These hardy perennials are very tolerant of many soil conditions. If you give them a good start, they will grow easily on any soil from chalk to clay. But just like children, they thrive in good growing conditions and some tender loving care. They especially like limy soils with a pH of 7. It’s always good to get your soil tested before you plant anything, but in reality, it’s not always practical. We have never tested the soil where our Hellebores are planted and they seem to love anywhere we put them. I must add that we are gardening enthusiast and we tend to amend our soil with a good amount of humus and other organic material.

Hellebores generally like shady areas, but they can take full sun in the morning during the summer and will appreciate being protected from the hot afternoon sun.

As the book, The Gardener’s Guide to Growing Hellebores, authors Graham Rice and Elizabeth Strangman point out that a few species, like H. foetidus, grow in both extremes of habit, woodland fringes in Britain and hot slopes in Spain, while H vesicarius grows in conditions which are parched in summer.

If you enjoy bringing flowers in from your yard for use in home decorating, it’s best to just use the flowers (sepals) in a bowl of water by simply picking half an inch of stem. Otherwise, the stems tend to drop when put in vases. There are some recipes for trying to use the whole stem in a flower vase such as burning, pricking or slitting the stem but these are rarely successful. Nothing can compare to the charm of these flowers in the winter as they float in a beautiful glass vase. Add to the charm by adding a floating candle for an elegant feel.

As far as general care goes, these perennials don’t really require much care at all.
Cutting back some of the dead leaves during the autumn and early winter when the garden is put to bed is all that is needed. You will know they need water when the leaves droop to the ground.

If you need a deer-resistant plant which is also drought tolerant and easy to care for , you definitely need this plant in your garden. Be aware that you may become addicted to this beautiful plant, but it is a fine vice indeed!
