Rosa

the flower of the stem I planted, if anyone knows the variety I'll be so grateful! #plantid (these heads are being pressed)

Looks like one we use in the floral industry called terra cotta

taking a gamble by planting the stem of a cut supermarket rose that had some sprouts. used lots of homemade compost and am trying to remember to water it every day

The final bloom... Rosa Margeret Merril

It's so perfect Charlie 👌😊

@anges isn't it just!! Almost swan like

#advice When would be an appropriate time to get this lovely rose into the ground? Planted it bareroot into the pot last winter but I've now prepared the perfect spot for it and don't want to damage it being too hasty.

Now would be fine 🌹

@agnes @cyndi thanks for your help guys, ive got it in the ground and its doing well!

Great! 😀 The flowers look very pretty 🌸🌸🌸

I think theyre quite nice bare

Have now used rose clear for my rust problem. I am told I should pick off all the affected leaves but that's the majority of the plant!! Opinions?

Yep, strip the affected foliage so it doesn't spread to the unaffected foliage. I had to do that with my rhodo after it had black spot. It might regrow foliage this season and it will stop the rust from developing next year. Just remember to spray again with rose clear in early spring.

Oh, try and water only the soil around the roots and not the foliage and make sure it's not overcrowded by other plants as that promotes rust.

@ublaszko thanks!

You're welcome 😊

Make sure you clear up all the fallen leaves as well. I have a black spot issue partly because last year I didnt clear all or as much as I could get of the fallen leaves.

@lydiastirling yep ive been savage and hopefully havent missed a single leag

Good luck. I really hope.it works for you..I'm desperately trying to clear all mine up but there are a few areas I just can reach them.

@lydiastirling thanks!! Really annoying as these roses are brand new so shouldn't really have arrived with it.

That's bad they really shouldn't have.

@cyndi next to it is a 30cm/12 inch ruler

@cyndi great thanks! Will update you in the future

@cyndi Snipped leaves in half and pushed the stems as far as they can go to the v for now. Looking a bit droopy,how often should I water them?

@cyndi it wouldn't be hard just means another trip haha! I have another variety in the shed which looks like older growth to me (not too sure) which i was going to leave in water until tomorrow and then root it. Ill have a check then and have a go. They seem to be longer stems so i think it could be older wood

Will do :) @cyndi

Took cuttinga today from a rose in my late grandmothers garden. How often should I water them and should I use a propagator? #advice

@Cyndi might be able to advise.

@bluefox23 cheers

@cyndi thanks for all your help! By in half do you mean length ways or width ways? I did use rooting hormone yes 😊 Also,what are nodes and what do you mean by thhe V? Again, thanks 😊

@cyndi thanks,i apriciate the help. I hope it works too,itll be nice to keep her memory alive in the plant without having to dig it up and take it all the way home, that way the new owners of the house can enjoy the rose too :)
