..bare roots all looking good... especially those from Cant's... @purplerallim .. this is going to sound fussy but it's worth pointing out that when you soak a bare root, it's best to have the water level much higher so it covers the whole root system... just below where the blue labels are would be best... just for future reference.. rain or tap water is fine...
@celcius_kkw Adrian,.. just going back to your question... I have found that DA roses do not transplant well for me.. it really sets them back as they can be slow to establish in the first place..I think they are touchy feely fussy types.. otherwise any rose can be transplanted, it's always worth a try, but if they are old and gnarly, then I prefer to start afresh with a new young one.. but that's personal preference.. you will never get a rootball with a transplant, well not much of one, the soil just drops away, so treat as bare root, which means winter is the best time..
Re TCL.. I wouldn't know for sure but I suspect Eastern European connections as things are usually cheaper that way.. you can see in the various photos here how some roses are on different rootstocks... one of mine last year is virused although that's not a huge problem.. but with cheap prices comes a risk... it's a trade off I suppose..
Just wanted to say for anyone interested in a rose.it order, I placed an order last night for some roses I couldn't find in stock elsewhere, and already my order has been shipped, so very fast turn around!
This is one of the bare root roses that arrived today.Rose Rugosa,Pink.Is it okay? The other roses all had green stems and as i know nothing at all about roses it looks a bit dead to me
@Klink ..perfectly ok.. that's the colour they are.. and normal for this time of year... nice own root rugosa.. not grafted... rugosa are not usually grafted onto rootstocks..
My family are having fun. This has been circulating but I caught my husband sniggering. I tortured him but he gave it up easily, from my son
The year is 2336. Roses cover 86% of earth's landmass. The atmosphere is pungent and heady with rose pollen. There is nowhere left for human civilisation but among the thorny tangle. Even the elders have forgotten how the world became this way, though they all agree ground zero was somewhere in what used to be Tack's Valley
