Where is the proper place to cut a rose from the rose bush? The house we rent has these amazing roses and I would love to cut them to bring inside but I don't know the right place to but them.
Cutting a rose from the rose bush?
Since cutting determines a plant's growth pattern, there are correct and incorrect ways of cutting roses.
The right way to cut a flower starts with proper equipment--clean, sharp shears or pruners and a pair of protective gloves because of thorns. Next, the proper place to cut should be determined. If a large, single, decorative flower is desired, disbud the plants early when the buds are small. Cut stems should be approximately 5 to 10 inches in length, depending on each plant.
Make the cut just above a five-leaflet node to promote a healthy flowering shoot to grow after the cut. Roses have three-, five-, and seven-leaflet nodes. The best place to cut the rose is just above a five-leaflet node because a strong shoot should emerge from just below the cut. This shoot should produce a good flower bud. The second-best cut would be just above the seven-leaflet node, and the third-best cut would be at a three-leaflet node.
Some roses may be harmed by too much cutting. In the spring, reduced growth may result from cutting a long stem, which removes a large number of leaves. Long-stemmed roses can be taken more safely after mid-season.
Some rose varieties may be rooted; however, it is advisable to purchase 2-year old budded plants from a reliable nursery. Many of the new varieties are difficult to propagate. Even if you root the new growth, the new plant will probably have a weak root system. Since many of the new varieties are patented, their propagation is illegal unless permission is granted from the introducer.
Treatment of Cut Roses for Longest Life--All cut flowers have a limited life, but there are some simple steps you can take to extend the enjoyment of your fresh roses. When you cut them outdoors, take a pail of warm water with you and place the roses in it immediately after cutting. Once you have collected all the roses for your enjoyment, take the pail inside.
Prepare your vase by adding a measured amount of pre-packaged floral food in warm water. The old tales of using an aspirin or copper penny don't work. Science has produced a food for flowers (not plant food) that meets all its needs and will help roses last for 7 to 10 days. Too much food is as bad for the rose as too little. Be sure to measure the amount of floral food you mix in the vase. Use warm water, not too hot or cold.
Once you have prepared the vase, you need to cut the rose stem. Roses will last several days longer if you re-cut their stems under water. Place the bottom 2 inches of the rose stem under water and make a sharp angled cut, removing the bottom 1 inch of the stem. You may even see a little air bubble emerging as you make the cut. Cutting rose stems under water can help extend the vase life of roses for several days. Don't submerge the entire rose under water as this won't help and can harm the rose by promoting disease problems.
Cut flowers, especially roses, may wilt prematurely but may be revived and their life extended for several days. A slanted cut should be made an inch or so from the base of the stem while holding the stem under water. Cutting stems underwater prevents an air bubble from entering the stem and blocking the uptake of water.
Reply:Grab some gloves and just cut below the 4th thorn going down.

Rose bush help?
The previous owners of my family's house owned a landscaping company; Unfortunately, they all married off and the plants and grass was left uncared for.
There is /one/ rosebush and I was wondering how I can whip it back into shape so it will fully bloom! I didn't know what it was at first until I saw a single, dead flower on it. My mom said it was a rose. Another thing is that there are thorns all over the bush.
Where do I start? I am extremely new to gardening, keep that in mind. Pictures of the rose bush's condition are below.

Rose bush help?
What you should do is create a bed for it by digging out the grass. Once you do that get some Miracle Grow for roses (available at Lowe's %26amp; HomeDepot - they are timed released fertilizer pellets) and sprinkle some down. Next buy some mulch and mulch the base so that it will retain moisture when it is hot out. You may also want to buy Immunox (also available at Lowes). Immunox prevents %26amp; cures diseases on roses and other flowers. Follow the directions on the can... Your plant looks healthy and some rose fertilizer will help it along....When it is hot it is better to water the roses in the morning or evening when it is cooler out.. Good luck :)
Reply:you know...it may just need some simple pruning and give it some plant food like miracle grow for roses. I used it on mine and they bloom beautifully. I'm no exspert, so may also want to try talking to a local nusery. That's what I've been doing and have gotten some really great advice and info on gardening.
From looking at your photo, you may also want to remove all the grass/weeds that near the base of the plant. And be sure to give enough water daily.
Reply:i'm pretty sure that if you severely prune the bush it will regrow beautifully. pruning is GOOD for roses. however, just to be sure, google "care of roses" and you'll find a surprising amount of information. there's probably even a roses.com
Reply:Looks like you have canker on one of your canes. I believe that you have to cut that cane to below the disease.
Prune all the dead in the plant and throw it out.
I like funginex to help with fungus.
Reply:Spring / Summer: Give plenty of water as they need lots of water for healthy flowering. Remove the grass around it and mulch a 2" layer to protect the roots from over heating. Also provide some rose food for good blossoms.
Winter: Before the frost sets in, prune them and cover them up with covers that are sold in hardware stores specially for roses. These are bucket shaped made of thermacoal (degradable ones are expensive). You protect them by placing them upside down and saving them from chilled air. All this can be elliminated if you live in a place which is warm throughout the year.
Roses are high maintenance plants but it worth it if you get some good blooms.
Reply:after you get through with what everyone else above has told you to do ,I would reccomend you putting used cooled coffee grounds at the base of the plant. Roses are acid loving plants and reg coffee is full of acid . good luck .

A lot of people get those email. I guess that is standard for Spam. Like they say, if it sounds too good to be true, it is! Here are questions I recommend
* Does the email or job posting direct you to contact an email address that uses a free webmailer (Yahoo, Hotmail, etc)?
* Does the recruiter have a website that matches the domain of the email address? For an email address like name@example.com there should be a website like http://www.example.com and it should be a recruiting company.
*How did they get your email?
* Does the company provide a postal address, telephone and fax number?
* Can you independently verify the postal addresses on a Google search?
*Try a google search with the name followed by scam or fraud
* Are the conditions too favourable ($30,000 per month salary, five star hotel accomodation)?

Rose petal edges turn brown-new English rose-fert./water OK?
Just got J%26amp;P Abraham Darby rose on sale. Upper leaves paler-fert. helped some. Watered heavily. Some improvement. Need part. nutrient?
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.

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.
Rose type: I am looking for a rose i found last year on the net?
Rosa sericea pteracantha
How amazing.
I've never seen anything like this.
