I've got 4 Rose of Sharon bushes that were planted in the fall of 2006. They all leafed out last year but did not flower. They are all leafing this year as well, but no signs of any flower buds. I have roses in the general vicinity and they are growing and blooming just fine. Any ideas on why my Rose of Sharons show no signs of flowering (Yes, I *am* aware that roses are not related to Rose of Sharon!)? I should probably add that I'm in Zone 6, KY/TN area. The plants get good afternoon sunlight
Rose of Sharon not flowering?
you won't see buds for a couple months yet.... RoS don't bloom till the hottest time of summer........
Reply:Mine aren't in bloom yet, either. They are only just now beginning to bud, and I'm in the Southeast, zone 7, so I'm a little warmer than you. Be patient, they'll come around!
Reply:Rose of Sharon blooms near the end of the summer. They are not spring bloomers.

Derrick Rose... Future Star?
No disrespect to Derrick Rose, but I don't see how he is so good. He only averages 14 Points (OJ Mayo averages 20) 4 Rebounds (OJ Mayo averages 5). Also, Derrick Rose had Chris Douglas Roberts, Robert Dozier, and Glenn Dorsey on his team to help him reach the National Championship. How can the 2008 NBA Mock Draft compare Derrick Rose to Michael Beasley (26 PPG, 12 Rebounds)?
I love Derrick Rose, but isn't he just A BIT overrated?
Derrick Rose... Future Star?
First of all, Stats mean nothing. It's all bout how u play and ur personality. Rose had probaly one of the best personalities for getting all this hype/ He handles it well and knows wat to do on the court. When i watch him play he has one of the highest IQ's for a PG in this draft. OJ mayo has a hot temper and look at his money scandal now. Not good for image. Rose has a great physical game and is quick and great ball handler with both hands. So to end this off. U R CRAZY IF U THINK HE IS OVERRATED AT ALLL!!!
Reply:Basketball drafting is about potential, not college stats. Mayo averaged as many turnovers as he did assists, and he is supposed to be a point/swing man. Mayo is still going to go high in the draft though, because his game is more suited to the pros, which is a played in a different style than college. Rose also played in a pretty loose system under Calipari (Dribble-Drive). With a more structured offense people think he will unlock his potential and be great.
Reply:What up Sohaib A,
Statistically Derrick Rose wasn't all that impressive. But he really carried Memphis against some very top flight teams in the NCAA(s) and he'd be a national champion right now if him or CDR could have sunk a free throw.
OJ's averages are higher mainly because he is the focal point of USC's offense where-as Memphis was a bit more balanced.
i think more than anything we've seen in the past several years that you can build a team around a point guard in the NBA- look at Utah and New Orleans, as well as other teams like Portland with Brandon Roy. Actually Williams College stats were not that great and so he got bypassed and how many teams are kicking themselves for not drafting him earlier.
Beasley definitely is a bit more NBA ready in that he has the NBA size... and it's going to come down to the team who has the #1 pick.
A case can be made for Rose being the best player in this year's draft- and he is by far the best point guard in this year's draft. Has to definitely work on his outside shot- but he's pretty fierce taking it to the hole.

Reply:I agree with the previous comment about Chris Paul and Derron Williams. There's no doubt that they REALLY broke out of their molds somewhat unpredictably. I think Derrick Rose definitely has potential, but like all potential first draft picks, the pressure is great and we might not see him develop into a superstar until latter years.
Reply:WELL I'M A BIG FAN OF ROSE AND BEASLEY, I DO THINK ROSE IS A LITTLE OVERRATED BUT HE IS STILL REALLY GOOD, I THINK BEASLEY SHOULD BE NUMBER 1 DRAFT PICK, MAYO NUMBER 2, AND ROSE NUMBER 3 DRAFT PICK,I DONT THINK ROSE DESERVES TO GET DRAFTED BEFORE BEASLEY, MAYO, I DO BELIEVE THAT IF ROSE GET DRAFTED TO A TEAM THAT HAD A REALLY BAD SEASON, A SORRY SORRY TEAM THAT HE WILL DEFIANTLY BE A FUTURE STAR!!!!!!!!!!!!ALL 3 OF THEM WILL
Reply:Smart money says Derrick Rose is more of a solid citizen than Michael Beasley, the only player in the draft rated ahead of him. If you don't think character counts in NBA scouting evaluations, guess again.
Reply:He has potential to be very great! His physical attributes are like a deron Williams and then his decision making and skills are like Chris Paul, hes like a mix between them. When Chris Paul and Deron Williams came out, did anyone think they would be as good as they are now? Prbably not
Reply:I would say
Michael Beasley is the best,
OJ Mayo is second best
Derek Rose is third best

Blue rose poem,?
i asked my lover
where is my blue rose
he quietly says
where ever i go
i stare in curiosity
as he gazes into mine
he calls me his baby
i call him my light
as we walk to the doors
of his beauiful life
yet he never tells me
where he keeps his rose
and i laugh it off
even his white lies
make my heart bloom
one day cancer grows
on his beautiful heart
his life go's away
and so does mine too
his funeral came
and my broken heart flew
when i stared at his grave
the blue roses bloomed
i looked at my memories
that sprouted in the flowers
he never said a lie
for i was his blue rose
that followed him
his blue rose baby

Blue rose....?
Is it possible to change the colour of a rose?
I want to get a blue rose...and my science teacher tells me that roses are indicators. So i was thinking about getting a white rose and putting the rose in an basic solution to change it's colour.....
Or are there any blue roses..if so what are they called?
Blue rose....?
No, you can't make a rose blue the way you can make a hydrangea. However, there are new species of rose not yet available to the public that are very close to blue or blueish.
Here is a site you might be interested in.
http://www.rose-roses.com/issues/rosen.h...
These roses are about as blue as they get.
Reply:I've never heard of roses functioning as pH indicators; only hydrangeas. If you want a blue rose, you might consider trying this: put the white rose in water that has a few drops of blue vegetable dye in it. I've seen carnations take up the color in water this way; I don't know if roses will do it, but it's worth a shot :-)
I don't know of any naturally occurring blue roses; the last I heard, that, and a black rose, are sort of the Holy Grail of the rose world, but you can certainly check with the American Rose Society to find out.
Reply:There are blue rose cultivars, but they can sometimes be difficult to grow. I would Google the name, or go to a quality supplier such as antiqueroseemporium.com to see what they have. They are a great source.
Reply:I dont think you can change colour of rose, Hydrangeas you can by altering ph of soil
Roses are an indicator plant, here in NZ they are planted at ends of grape vines to show up pests before they infest the grapes
There are a number of roses called blue , but are not a true blue

Reply:There is a hybrid tea rose name 'Blue Moon'
it is not a true blue and not one of my favourites.
Roses do not change colour to response to the pH levels of the soil they are grown in.
You could put a white bloom in water with blue food dye and see what that does to the petal colour. Might be fun to try.
Reply:Roses do not change colour in or out of soil. They have a woody stem, not a hollow one like a carnation.
There are no true blue roses at all.

Is Pete Rose also banned for life on future baseball cards?
Does his MLB banishment extend to baseball cards made by the big companies like Topps and Fleer? Like they are not allowed to mention his name or show a photo of him on a tribute or honary card? For instance: I was thinking should a future player break Rose's all-time hits record and Topps produces a card for the milestone, would it say on the back of the card "He breaks the all-time record last held by Pete Rose" or would they get around it by saying "He breaks the all-time record that stood unbroken since 1986?"
Is Pete Rose also banned for life on future baseball cards?
Yes. All baseball cards are officially licensed by MLB.
Pete has been banned from MLB which officially makes him ineligible to appear on any and all MLB baseball cards and products.
Reply:Pete could always make his own baseball cards of himself. lol
Reply:I believe that baseball card manufacturers are licensed by MLB. If so, then, I would imagine that Pete Rose will not appear on any future cards as long as his lifetime ban is still in effect. But this is a good question. MLB does not want Rose to make any income from the sport, so allowing him to have a card that he could autograph at sports shows would be going against their wishes. I think the answer is Yes - banned from ball cards.
Reply:The card are licensed through MLB and the Players' Association, so anyone banned from baseball would not have new cards produced for them.
If Rose is alive at the time of the new record holder, he could not take part in any official ceremony - unless gtanted a waiver gy the commissioner's office - but his name/totals could be mentioned in the text of the card, since such stats are in the public domain and has not be stricken from MLB records.
Reply:nope and what a nice guy talked to him
he is a real player and what a handshake
Reply:Yes, that is how it works. Fleer and Topps no longer will produce cards when a player is banned. Hold on to any of his cards if you have any/
Reply:I don't know what the big deal is with Pete Rose. He did his time and aren't we supposed to move on. Most people have already decided on his fate and would not give him a job in baseball anyway.
Reply:Rose's ineligibility is not "for life" -- it is "permanent". This is an important distinction many people get wrong. Rose drawing breath, while obviously an important bonus to him personally, makes no difference to MLB and his status thereto.
Rose's status means that MLB will not (or at least should not) license any entity to include Rose in the merchandise or marketing. In particular, Rose cannot appear in any official uniform. When he portrayed Ty Cobb in a movie in 1991 (the made-for-television "Babe Ruth", NOT the one starring John Goodman), MLB did not allow him to appear in a Tigers uniform; instead he was in street clothes. Topps did produce a small (12 cards IIRC) promotional card set, but this was allowed because Rose appeared as himself and not as a uniformed ballplayer, and Topps (or the movie production company; not clear, nor critical) had secured permission from Rose to use his image.
Any card company (and in baseball, there's only two right now, Topps and Upper Deck, which owns the remains of the Fleer brand) COULD produce a Rose set, but there would be restrictions and concerns. One, they'd need to get image licensing directly from Rose or his representatives. Two, they could not portray him in uniform (or greatly risk having MLB's lawyers get involved). Three, it would be risking burning bridges with MLB -- a vital licensor -- to do so. There's no potential gain worth the risks involved.
Rose could, I think, be mentioned by name. MLB certainly doesn't deny he exists, that he played, and that he put up a lot of numbers. They just refuse to include him in any official promotional materials or merchandise (unless MasterCard is sponsoring the event, in which case they've granted him participatory waivers, twice; well, money does talk).
Joe Jackson's situation is similar; he is not supposed to be included in any merchandise. Upper Deck did produce one or two cards of him a few years back and caught a lot of under-the-radar flack for it.
