I want to be unique for this Valentines. Whats common right now is a dozen red roses, or 2 dozen red roses.
I want to be unique. Like I saw 5-6 foot roses somewhere on the internet. One other person suggested 100 roses. Another one suggested roses in a heart form.
What are the BEST and UNIQUE roses arrangements to give for Valentines?
I think it would be most creative/unique to do an arrangement NOT made of roses, or to do a more unusual breed of roses...
Latin Ladies are stunning in my opinion, red on the tops of the petals, and white on the bottoms. (they are also called fire and ice)

Black Magic roses have a lot of depth and are a very rich color:

You could also do a unique color like lavender roses

Whatever you do, do it from the heart! Good luck.
Reply:Even more unique - give the person orchids or some rare flowers.
Reply:I wouldnt get the 100 roses, because lets face it- they will wilt! I've thought of the best idea...and I dont care if you steal it lol, it might be what ur looking for! I think the heart formation is perfect for this. Get all red roses in a heart shape, and in the middle of the bunch put a fake rose.
Then attach a note saying 'My love for you will only end when the last rose wilts'.
Which of course- will never happen as it is a fake rose. You follow?
If my university course doesnt work out maybe I should work for Hallmark lol ;-) Happy V Day

How do you transplant these roses?
They are wild roses. Here is a picture of the wild roses, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosa_arkans... . There are about 100 of them outside growing along the road and in the ditch. How can I transplant them into my yard? They are blooming right now, I transplanted 2 a couple of weeks ago, but they are not doing to good. They are alive, but are not blooming. And one of them only has a couple of leaves. What should i do?What is the best way to transplant them and keep them alive and blooming? I transplanted 1 today, and i shouldn't have because it was really hot. I got most of a thick root with it, its doing ok, kinda wilted. I watered it good. Some one told me about cutting off the dead canes, but i don't know what a cane is. Thanks in advance.
How do you transplant these roses?
These are wild roses- that means weeds. Don't worry so much. Water them if they get wilty looking, but they should do just fine. I love them too and have a huge clump in my back yard that started off real iffy looking. Have faith they will grow.
Reply:If you want them to have a better chance to survive-- do this.
Take a sharp shovel and about 10-12 inches from the main stem, push the shovel into the ground the depth of the shovel-- making a circle around the plant. Mark your calendar. 6 weeks after the shovel trick-- go back and lift the plant and move it where you want. As you back fill the hole, ( put the dirt back around the transplant) run your hose into the hole-- which trickles mud around to fill any air pockets.
This is what you did--- by "cutting" roots around the plant and waiting for 6 weeks-- you force the plant to put out new feeder roots to feed itself. Then you can move it with great chance of success. Don't ignore it after transplanting -- watch for drooping leaves-- which show it is short of water.
A cane is a branch of a rose-- you will see old dry big ones and young light green ones. You do want to cut back the blooms-- because the plant is trying to make seeds-- Both cutting back and transplanting at the same time is harder on the plant. Any plant does three things-- roots, leaves, seeds (flowers/reproduction of itself)-- you need the leaves to feed the roots and you need the roots to strengthen the plant. The blooms will come next year.
good luck

What is the best time of year to plant roses in N. California?
I want to plant some ground cover roses....but it seems I can't find any around. Went to Navalet's in Fremont and of course Lowe's and Home Depot, but none really to be found? Should they not be planted at this time?
What is the best time of year to plant roses in N. California?
I think the reason you are having trouble finding roses is that the time for planting is past. Usually roses are planted bare-root in January or February when they are dormant. In May many roses have already started to bloom.
The American Rose Society link below has information and tips on rose cultivation in several geographic areas of California.
Good Luck!
Reply:Now is the best time. Spring time. Roses are very hardy and last for years. Try a regular Nursery if Lowes or HD don't carry them. I just planted some and the have lots of buds already.
Reply:right now! the frosty part of spring is over with!

Why does my roses bloom with dead pedals?
When my roses bloom the pedals look as if they were dying. All nasty and brown looking.
Why does my roses bloom with dead pedals?
Rose leaves with dark patches on them have a fungal disease called Black Spot. This disease is caused by warm temperatures and humidity. It will eventually defoliate the plant and weaken it severely. You either have to spray the roses with a fungicide to keep the leaves healthy, or you have to plant roses that are highly resistant to blackspot. Fungicides are somewhat toxic and need to be applied regularly during the growing season. It is important to understand that they are a preventative, not a cure--you have to spray the roses BEFORE they get the disease--spraying will not cure the leaves already infected.
For a good list of roses that are highly disease resistant, look at the 'Earth Kind' list of roses developed by the state of Texas. These roses were tested over a long period of time to choose varieties that look good and bloom well with little use of chemicals.
As to the brown flowers, you may have another rose disease called Botrytis. This is a disease also prevented by fungicides, so if you spray for Black Spot disease, that should take care of the brown petals as well. Another cause of brown petals are a pest called Thrips, which are a very tiny insect that likes to rasp the edges of rose petals. They require frequent applications of pesticide to prevent. You can tell if you have thrips or not by shaking a flower over a piece of white paper. If tiny bugs will fall out of the flower and show up on the white paper--those are thrips.
Another way to go is, as before, plant types that are not so affected by Thrips. Thrips tend to prefer white and other very pale colored roses.
Reply:Home dept. Call the garden shop, and talk to the rose person, they can tell you what you need and how to do it. If yo bye plants there, if they die, or do what yours is doing they will replace them up to one year.
Reply:The black spots on your leaves is called Black Spot disease and you can get a liquid for this and you can get it at Wal-Mart and other nursery's. Your leaves are also turning brown and yellow,just spray them and make them all well.
Reply:they are not dead its a type of rose!
Reply:It will only be a time that the roses will be attacked also. It sounds like you might have aphids eating at them. or a it might be blight. or fungus that attacks the leaves.

When is the best time to trim back knockout roses in Nebraska?
I have knockout roses that are getting rather big. When is the best time to trim them back in Nebraska? Fall or Spring?

I have knockout roses by my porch. What is the proper way to trim them.. they look bad at bottom?
The knockout roses have been beautiful but they are tall and the bottom of them are looking slim. I was wondering how to prune them or cut them back to promote growing but not kill them where they don't bloom again. Any suggestions, websites with instructions? Thanks
I have knockout roses by my porch. What is the proper way to trim them.. they look bad at bottom?
Its hard to kill the Knockouts but I would still wait until it cools down before pruning them. Maybe another month or so.
Its best to do the pruning on them in April-May. If you keep cutting them back to about 3-4 they stay nice and full.

My experience is that you can trim off top growth anytime %26amp; it will encourage bushier growth %26amp; more blooms. Knockouts are tough!

Reply:I just dead head my Knockouts by plucking the spent flowers off because you don't prune Knockouts like you prune other roses. As a matter of fact, your not supposed to do anything to them at all. However, if you have stems that appear to be dead or dying then feel free to cut them off. Also, trimming your Knockout in Jan. or Feb. will help to promote a fuller bush for next season. If you've been hot recently, they are probably responding to the heat. Mine were looking a bit sparse as well, but now that temps are dropping they are filling back out.
Oh, if you like Knockout roses then you will probably like these. The Knockout roses has been placed in a category of roses called "Earthkind". If you are interested here is a list and information about Earthkind roses that are very hardy, disease resistant, and self sufficient. Anyhow, here is the site. You may find it interesting.
