  • Adam: Thank you.Lovely idea

    tadrcf: Sounds as if you either have bad plants or they are planted in bad soil.Dig it up and try again but if you have planted roses in that soil before then remember to change the soil to avoid rose replant disease.

    Janet: Try digging it up by the roots.
  • I've made the same mistake with blooming and my orchids. They all bloomed at the same time, and then nothing... I had to change up my collection. Oh well, I guess it happens to the best of us. :-) I've put some other common mistakes with orchids into a blog post. Just wanted to share with you - http://www.orchidcarezone.com/orchid-care-biggest-mistakes/
  • Can anyone suggest what I do with my lovely colourful begonias in flower at this time before the frost knocks them for a six ?
    Will they survive to be re-planted next year ?
  • Forgetmenot: You could take cuttings or bring them into a greenhouse.
  • Thanks for your suggestion .... I've now done both! I have shaken most of the soil off the corms, and someone suggested to just keep them dry in a paper bag in the greenhouse till next spring,for re-planting.
  • HELP.In 2006 I planted 12 Swan Lake climbing roses.By 2010 they had grown only between 2 and 3 feet and are very spindly.I used two different local suppliers.Other non white climbing roses grow well,e.g school girl climbing rose planted 2009 has grown 6 feet in one year.How can I kick start swan lake?
