We’re expecting a freeze in a few days. Usually my plants die back and I cover them with wood chips by now. I planted some new stuff and they are still blooming. Should I cut them back?

sweetgirl asked:


I have a space about 20 feet by about 8 feet in front of my window. It does not get very sunny because we have a big tree in the front yard. I would like to know what would grow well and what would look nice.

how to get Hybrid Tea roses to get started?

Sunday, November 23rd, 2008

Batman Vs Supes asked:


I planted 3 hybrid tea roses about 2 weekends ago. They were cut to just base plants when bought, soaked the roots in water overnight to remove the packing material (as per directions), dug 18″ dia by 18″ deep holes; created pyramid/cone of soil, spead roots over cone, added loose soil as prescribed so Bud Union was about 1inch above the soil; added 1 tbl rose food to soil; watered in rose; watered every day with soaker hose for 1st week and every other day after that (as per directions).

What has been happening is one is growing new stems well, the other two have one stem each that were present when planting, but the leaves are browning/dieing. What do you recommend?

Thanks!
Also, they get sun most of the day: Mid morning til sunset, with periods of shade mixed in due to fences, bushes, and a large ash tree.
In response to the first responder, soaker hoses water ground not the plant. I have not watered the uper part of the plant, and do not water until about 5-6 pm, so not really a heat of the day thing. Another heads up is this is in Appleton, WI

Friday, November 21st, 2008
maycuplover asked:


I live in an apartment and my balcony faces north and is surrounded by big trees. It does get some sunlight but not a lot. I don’t want fake plants. What’s my best bet for plants and flowers that will survive in this condition.

Why do my morning glory flowers wither?

Friday, November 21st, 2008
bakedcheesesnacks asked:


I see the flowers partially open in the morning as I leave for work but when I get back in the evening, they are all withered. It looks like the flower got ****** back into itself.

What’s up with that? How long does the bloom usually last?
They die soon after, never to come back into my life again… :( I **** work. If I wasn’t working, I would watch these beautiful flowers for hours.
