Rose petal edges turn brown-new English rose-fert./water OK?
Put about 1/2 cup epson salts around the rose and water it in the next time you feed it. This seems to help mine. Yet this time of the year mine seem to do this for 2 to 4 weeks. I always thought they were adjusting to the weather.
Reply:This can be caused by many things. Lack of or too much water, bad ph, chemical fertilizer salts, and so on. Get a cheap ph kit at a garden supply and make sure thats good first. Next water only in the early evening to get best use of the water and don't overwater. After that your best bet is to get a "compost tea" fertilizer. You can go the http://www.terracycle.net/ website to find their product or research making it on the web. You can't overuse it and its better than chemical fertilizers in all ways. Hope that helps.

Can you name this rose?

I have been trying to figure out the rose variety of a certain rose for some time. my local florist sells them but when i asked the name they did not know. it looks almost excactly like the rose in this photograph but it is more orange with red tips rather then yellow with red tips. any clues as to what type a rose this might be? http://www.flickr.com/photos/ranhar2/130...

Can you name this rose?
There is a rose as you describe, called 'Remember Me'. sometimes roses sold through the florists are 'Hot house', roses and don't go well in the garden, be careful which varieties you buy.
Reply:Being one of those local florists, when we order that rose it is called tropicanna, like the sunset, yellow with orange tips...the one that is yellow with red or hot pink tips we call confetti..both hold in the bud stage a long time and never fully open which makes ideal for vase arrangements.

Couldn't find you a Minuet image, sorry
Reply:you asked for the type. its a hybrid tea rose. plain and simple
Reply:i'm pretty sure it's called a macro rose.


Rose type: I am looking for a rose i found last year on the net?

The rose blooms once then leaves very large thorns on the cane that look like stained glass when looked at through the sunlight. Thought to be exotic, chinese, but can't find it anywhere.

How amazing.


I've never seen anything like this.


Hayley Victoria-Rose? Keep hyphenated?

Hi this is Erika's boyfriend. she's sleeping right now lol.





my name choice for our daughter is Hayley Victoria-Rose and i'm not sure if we should hyphenate it or not?


Erika's choice is Scarlett Audrey, which i think is a really good name, and i hope we end up choosing it.





Hayley Victoria-Rose


or


Hayley Victoria Rose











thank you

Hayley Victoria-Rose? Keep hyphenated?
Why don't you just choose Scarlett Audrey then, and you wouldn't have to worry about the hyphen? However, if you don't do this, I would go without the hyphen, or just pick one middle name. Hayley Rose is very pretty, as is Hayley Victoria. You don't need both.
Reply:The hyphen is not bad, but I'm not sure if it would cause problems when filling out paperwork or computerized documents. That is something I would look into if you are seriously considering.
Reply:Both names are absolutely adorable!!!





I am a huge fan of two middle names, its really a cute idea, only thing is when a child has two middle names you rarely hear them both. The hyphen looks cute, but it may be trouble in the long run, when it comes to filling out documents, state test, etc.... just something to thing about.





Hayley Victoria is also cute by itself, especially if both names have meaning/background for you guys....





Congratulations !!! :) and Good Luck!
Reply:I wouldn't keep it hypenated.





With Hayley Victoria Rose, she has two middle names, so in the future she can use either one of her middle names. I'm not a fan of hypenated names either, so I like Hayley Victoria Rose.





BTW, I really like the name Scarlett Audrey. It's such a pretty and elegant name. I like it better than Hayley Victoria Rose, no offence ;)
Reply:I like the Hyphen..
Reply:I say hyphen, it keeps it unique and that way she won't have 2 middle names if you choose it. Both pretty names :)
Reply:Hayley Victoria Rose without the hyphen is the best way but I have to say that I like the name Scarlett Audrey the best!!
Reply:My advice would be to not hyphenate. Scarlett Audrey is okay, but I know a not-very-nice person called Scarlett, so I couldn't use it (although Audrey was my grandmother's name). My parents had a similar problem before my brother was born. My mum wanted Anna-Olivia if he was a girl, and my dad hated the hyphen and wanted it to be Anna Olivia, but both names being the first name. Their problem was solved when a boy came along. I really like Olivia Rose, and I really don't want to hyphenate that, although that will probably be how other people spell it.


Hayley Victoria Rose is a beautiful name, and I think it flows better than if there was to be a hyphen in there. I think hyphens really throw people. It's probably safer not to use them and the child can put them in later in life if they really want to.
Reply:First of all...both are absolutely beautiful names!!


They all go together so well!


I don't think it's neccessary to hyphenate your choice, however. There's nothing wrong with having more than one middle name and personally, I just think hyphenated names look kind of weird (I mean it makes sense if you're doing two last names, but other than that). It wouldn't be nearly as pretty to write if it were hyphenated, either.





Hayley Victoria is pretty too (My niece's name is Victoria).





Whatever you decide, it will be beautiful! Congratulations and maybe someday you'll get to use both names anyway! :)
Reply:Hayley Victoria Rose
Reply:i really like scarlett audrey its cute, but if you go with the haley one, keep it hyphenated it looks cool

Where can I get Rose Water (for under eye puffiness)? Do grocery stores sell it?

Ive heard using Rose Water (Rose Hydrosol) works great for decreasing under eye puffiness. Ive also heard Preparation H works great for this problem and also for the purple marks under the eyes. Anyone know anything about this?





Where can I get Rose Water? Im not looking for something with 10% or 20%, but want 100% Rose water.





Thanks.

just put a table spoon in the freezer for ten mintues and put them on ur eyes for about 3 minutes that should work
Reply:Yes, preparation H probably works better than rose water. Try the prep h first, I've heard that works wonders.
Reply:Try the healthfood stores
Reply:ask a doctor

Rose of Jericho Tattoo... real or fictional?

In the book "Until I find you" by John Irving, he talks about a tattoo called the Rose of Jericho. The special thing about the tattoo is that a vagina can been seen in the rose image if you look carefully. I cant figure out if this was made up by Irving or if its real... and Id love to see what it looks like.Anyone have any ideas?

Rose of Jericho Tattoo... real or fictional?
It is both real, and fictional at the same time. Look at any detailed image close enough and long enough for your mind to wander, and you will see all sorts of things.
Reply:All I know is that a rose of jericho is a plant, and none of its parts look like a vagina. *shrug*


Rose Pressing?

My boyfriend gave me a rose on a really special night and I want to press some of the petals. I was just gonna stick it in a book and leave it there for a few weeks but the problems I am having is my rose petals are very much curved and I don't want fold in them (if I can prevent that). I looked on a few web sites and they said zap the petals in the microwave and that really didn't work... because of their curve only the part that touched the bottom dried out. What am I suposed to do?

Rose Pressing?
Using the microwave will work if you wrap a moist towel around the rose and then zap it. Next you'll need something flat with weight and use wax paper with the waxy part toward the pedals.





One other thing may be better is to just hang the entire rose upside down in your closset and allow it to air dry.
Reply:Put tween a couple of peices of wax paper and park the car on it for a while. That'll do it.
Reply:Put your rose petals between two sheets of paper towel, iron them through that starting at the flat side ,being the end closest to the stems.Don't go all the way to the curved part.Then you can put them in the microwave ,between the paper towel on very low power.You don't want to cook them ,only evaporate the moisture. try only a very few seconds and let them sit in between. Another way is much better its not pressing, you put the whole rose bud in silica sand,using a small paint brush to put the sand between the petals.Cover it completely and leave to dry.Your rose will be kept beautiful, but fragile.Keep it in a small glass or plastic box.In love?Great.
