I bought (at half price) a rose off the 'hospice shelf' at my local box store at the end of summer. When I got it down from the relatively high shelf, I saw it was sicker than I had thought, but I couldn't just say 'go back and die', so I took it/her home & did what I could. Then I was unexpectedly away for 3 months & assumed I'd find it had 19:26 died in my absence. Not so, & I just trimmed her & left her under cover for the rest of the winter. Come spring, she was putting out healthy, lively growth; I planted her in a well-amended hole in full sun, and she (now named 'hospice Rose') produced lovely red blooms and looks ready to do so again this summer. Now I look regularly at the orphans' & hospice shelves there for my next Dickensian garden chapter. Never underestimate the recovery power of neglected plants. (I don't take in animals!)

Roses are much heartier than a lot of people realize! Which is part of the reason I've been growing them the last 15 years, partially. They're so gorgeous,there are so many varieties and I have several of them. Something that's been incredibly interesting is how some come back in completely different colors some years or even in mixed colors. I made sure to plant the white ones especially far away from the colored ones. It also said knockout when I bought them, and looked like knockouts. They're red, pink, white and climbing this year! I'm having to tie them up, way up. I'll cut them back drastically next January or February. I'm not afraid to barber a rose lol. They come back better than ever. These caught me by surprise this year. Flowers are such wonderful, beautiful things to plant, watch grow and fill my yard with as much gorgeousness as I can ❤❤❤❤

I was afraid to try, honestly. I'm a roses 🌹 person, usually. My husband did the re-potting 2 years ago. Sadly, he was diagnosed with terminal cancer and passed away March 1st. The ones he did were actually spectacular. I decided in his honor, I'd plant petunias as well as this year. You've been so much help. Some other people didn't give enough information. I don't need anybody to skip a single step right now!!! I'm preparing to re-pot my petunias. You have another video im returning to for this. Wish me luck!

Just want to be sure I'm transplanting them correctly this year as I normally don't have the best luck with petunias. Loved your video!
@UpNorthGardenMI8 ай бұрын
We use rice hulls as mulch… that’s not a necessary step. Once you plant, the roots will start growing… for many plants, once the roots reach the edge of the pot, it tells them that how much space they have to grow underground and they will then put more energy above the soil (the roots will still develop). Hope that makes sense.

Proven Winners Supertunias are fantastic, but they're not the only ones out there. Next in line for my favs are Surfinia and SuperCal Premium... then Flower Showers, Sanguna, Headliner, Fun House, Durabloom, ColorRush, Sureshot, Easy Wave, Cascadias... and there are others... like Bluerific, Bee Knees, Black Magic. I've been a little disappointed with Tritunia, Hells, and some of the unlabeled varieties, but you may have better luck with them. Sometimes if petunias look a little straggly, they may need more light or fertilizer... so don't rule that out as well. Good luck!

Love love love the start to finish. I struggle with watering consistency and when to fertilize. You really didn’t touch on when and how much to water. I don’t have a greenhouse, do they prefer shade or direct sun? Thank you, loved to see the progression….and cutting off all blooms. WOW

Petunias love sun, but can handle part sun… and they generally prefer being outside over being in the greenhouse once the threat of frost has passed. Fertilizing gets its own video kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYbHZ4qPeJuCa8U

Love your videos. How often did you use fertilizer.😊 Thanks.

Once a week with a water soluble fertilizer like MiracleGro.
