I, too, had never grown any
roses before. I bought some, I ordered some and I planted them all. I gave them epsom salts and the special tea recipe someone posted here.
The ones I bought locally were doing great but the ones I'd ordered from a catalog (they came as bare roots) were still just sticks. Sticks for so long.
But now!! Now I see new growth on all
plants.
This is a hybrid tea that is suppose to have orange
flowers. All the leaves you see are new growth!! YAY!!
This one and the one above were both bare roots when they arrived, and this one especially was just sticks for so long after I planted them. But now, I see leaves.
I have a total of 6
roses, all new, in my "
rose garden." They are all doing pretty well and I think a big part of all this new growth has to do with the tea that was posted here. Good stuff. Thanks!!
This is such a great forum.
