Hello - is it possible to grow from the flowerpot?
@MJDWildlifeGarden
@MJDWildlifeGarden 4 күн бұрын
Hi, I haven’t tried in pots but one thing I would say is that once the spidery legs are spread they are quite wide (like over 30cm) so you might only get one into even a large pot. I’m all for experimenting though. Good luck :)

Your Eremurus is stunning! So envious. Just attempting planting these now in the midwestern U.S. - fingers crossed! Tried once before and didn't have luck. Unfortunately many of the suppliers shipping to this area do not send out plump, healthy roots. It seems they are more popular in the UK, as I've not found one actual live plant in a local nursery center here, and bare roots are hard to come by.

I would love more space for growing roses. I only have a small garden so as I love scent and colour after to be more picky. So Lady sharlott was very similar to my Lady Emma Hamilton which won over the none scented Lady sharlott. LEH has colour with its beautiful pinks & oranges and amazing scent. Gave my brother any roses that were less of a favourite. I have Boscobell, Basheba, PAOK Sweet Juliett, Shropshire lad, Generous Gardener, Dame Judy Dench, Poets Wife a must absolutely gorgeous colours and smells. Gabriel oak, Emily Bronte, Bring me Sunshine. Charles Darwin, Young Licidas, LD Branthwaite, Summer Song is wow colour, Teasing Georgia, recently gave my brother sadly added issues after 12 years. Gertrude Jekle, a fav of my hubby's nice but very thorny. William Morris, Thomas A Becket, and many more. I do love a good scent, prefer various colours and large blooms. Although my Sweet Juliett is the exception as this must be the best colour and scented rose that D.A has ever produced and understands why it took them 15 years and cost the amount it did to achieve such a perfect English Rose........... If i could, I would move and have a bigger plot to grow them all..😅

Hi Susan, firstly thank you so much for your comment, really means a lot that people take the time to write. Wow, that’s a pretty serious collection you have, I haven’t ever seen LEH unfortunately but the colour really does look stunning. Sweet Juliet wasn’t on my radar so thanks, I will have a look for one, also seems it’s a good grower. I love the colour of Bascobel, and scent of Judy Dench, it really is like an English breakfast tea!! My mum has Shropshire Lad which is beautiful. Bascobel is my favourite rose, what stunning scent and a great repeat bloomer, so many buds at the moment! If there is one rose I love that’s not on your list it’s Lark Ascending, I did a quick short vid on it recently but will do a separate vid on my fave yellow roses, prob next year now. Enjoy your beautiful roses, and hope you like the channel! Matt

Dividing sedum, waste of time. It will root if you throw a stem on the ground and spit in its general direction. I've seen stems cut and suspended above ground by vegetation that had grown little pkantlets complete with roots at every leaf axil. If you seriously want a lot of sedum it can be propagated from a single leaf and a half inch of stem with virtually 100% success. I can easily make 3 dozen babies from any candidate for division without disturbing or even taxing the mother plant.

The new rose Penelope lively is probably the strongest smelling DA rose I've seen and it combines three major scent groups-old rose, fruit and muhr at the back of it.

I live in Texas though where it’s very hot and humid, so I’m learning some of the DA roses don’t do well here. I started my rose adventure with 10 total, including three DA roses. Roald Dahl, Emily Bronte and Desdemona. Probably most nervous about Desdemona. Planted them almost a week ago and so far so good!
