| Hi Becky---Nice to meet you. I did use Hollytone one year because it was a little cheaper and then I read that Rosetone has something extra in it that roses need so I bought a big bag of Rosetone. We go to Davis Feed Mill in Rushland --it is cheaper there and I also get a big bag of Alfalfa. We have a Starbucks here in Yardley---everytime my DH goes by he picks up whatever they have in the basket---He has picked up about 60 bags this year---the worms just love it--.
About my roses----I like most all kinds but prefer the ones that survive well in my very shady yard. How far are you from Yardley??? Some of my once-bloomers do perfume the whole yard---just delicious. they weren't too good this year with all the rain but still the perfume has been heavenly. One of these days I'm going to make a list of my roses---LOL LOL We just chopped a lot from one of our New Dawn Bushes---it was overpowering the arbor---- I don't use any sprays so my garden is "survival of the fittest"---LOL You are welcome to cuttings of any of my roses if you are interested in propagating------Most of my Zephirine Drouhin roses are cuttings from one bush as are the New Dawn bushes-----the spring flush is pretty much over now but some are just coming into bloom. I don't have many Hybrid Tea roses---but MacCartney rose has been gorgeous ---very fragrant--Hot Cocoa and Lafter seem to be very hardy. I have very little sun which makes rose growing difficult but some are doing pretty well. Keep in touch--it would be nice to meet a rose-lover in this area. Florence |
