Hello dear rose friends … an apology for the delayed Rose Rambler this week! A slight glitch with our email marketing services, but sorted now! Let’s get stuck into this weeks Rambler…
Lots of folks out on their lawn mowers as the grass grows while you’re mowing! Green and glorious colour in every glance, oh, the joy of spring – daffodils, tulips, lush foliage and because of recent rains, weeds pull out easily – such a joyous, happy time in gardens everywhere!
SPRING IS ‘FALLING IN LOVE’ SEASON …
An email from a customer who ordered ‘FALLING IN LOVE’ rose … Thank you so much Diana, l really appreciate that! The gorgeous roses arrived earlier today and l am so thrilled. Absolutely Beautiful! You made me laugh re: comment about the thorns on the ‘Falling In Love’ Rose … lol. Thank you again for your exceptional & quality service. It’s a credit to you & your business. Wishing you every continued success … and l will most certainly be buying from you again in the future. Take care & kindest regards, Nada … This is FALLING IN LOVE … thorns and all …
What was the breeder thinking when he named this rose??? Must have been at odds with the love of his life because seriously, the thorns are SCARY but yes, the flower is gorgeous and long lasting in a vase but very little fragrance! I would rather you purchase THE CHILDREN’S ROSE – way less thorns, magnificent fragrance, perfect blooms, strong bush and beautiful name when you need to have GIFT ROSE … see giftroses.com.au
ROSES IN THE POST – IT WORKS LIKE THIS …
Because I put a good amount of wet coir potting mix at the roots, wrap the whole lot in damp newspaper and seal off in a plastic bag, the roses are travelling well and keep on growing in the box … they’ve got no light so cannot photosynthesise until you take them from the box and plant them …
Hi Di …
Here they are YAY !!!!!!!!!! As always thank you so very much…no time to chat…I’m off to plant them.
Cheers, Jen
Good Morning Di –
It generally only takes a short time for the leaves to ‘green up’, today’s photo is of the Apricot Nectar which was in the forefront of the photo I sent when they arrived on Monday. As you can see the colour has changed quite a lot already and they’ve only been here one and a half days. Until next time (which probably won’t be long hahaha) thank you and all the best to you and yours.
Cheers, Jen
GRA’S GARBLE …
It is imperative to beautiful settlement of your roses that you soak them to a slurry when planting and then soak over the whole plant with seaweed solution immediately after and then at least every fortnight until they are settled and showing signs of growth! DO NOT OVERWATER ROSES … weekly watering with 20 litres of water, delivered at the same time so the water soaks to the root-zone is HEAPS … please don’t be a wally with water!!!
