I have potted roses indoors for the winter and i have cats, I don’t know if they are doing well. Help!?

I have two long stem Double delight rose bushes in super large planters. My family bought them for me last mothers day. I truly love them and I am determined to keep them alive. We live in michigan and Jackson and perkens says they will not survive in the planters their first winter after that the will be mature enough to wrap outdoors next winter. This year they are in a large west facing bay window The window temp is about 55 to 60 degrees. The window is not greatly insulated I forgot to caulk around it. It is covered by heavy curtains so it makes a cold box. It bloomed until mid december now one plant is completely bear of leaves and the Other one is missing about 40 percent. I pruned the dry branches last week and watered with rose food. Before that my cats were digging in the planters and I think they might have been peeing in them, Although I never caught them. They were also eating the roses and the leaves. After that I covered the planters with plastic but I did leave vent holes so I can still water and they wont mold. I only water when the soil is bone dry roughly every 10 to 14 days. Currently The remaining branches are still green. Are the going dormant for the winter or are they in trouble? If so what can I do to save them? This is my first time caring for roses since I killed one when I was 19. I have done alot of reading but I haven’t been able to find anything that fits my situation. Any and all tips will be greatly appreciated.

How should I care for my miniature roses?

I got a some potted miniature roses the other day on a whim, and they already seem to be struggling. When I got home, I repotted them into a pot slightly larger than the one they’d been in and have watered them as the soil felt dry. They are indoors, but near a window that gets plenty of light throughout the afternoon/evening.
Today I cut off everything that seemed dead hoping that would help, but I didn’t know if there was something more I should be doing. This is my first attempt in a long time at a plant of any kind because I’ve tended to have a black thumb in the past.
Any suggestions for how to help my plant?

ps- I bought it at the grocery store, not some fancy gardening place. Is that maybe why it started dying off so quickly?

Canadian Rose care…?

i have a Canadian Rose plant, and have had it for about 3 yrs. I live in Florida and since its been here, it has only given off about 1 rose. it lives i a big clay pot. When i lived in NY prior to Florida, it gave off a lot of flowers. I have watered it a lot and gave it plenty of sun, but no roses have come out. a few leaves are also turning yellow. does anyone know what i can do to improve its health? less sun? more time inside? new ground or pot? if anyone could help, i would love to save my poor rose thank u!

Small Roses?

How do you care for small (baby) roses in a pot? They were given to me for mother’s day and are already dying! I have watered them consistantly.
Actually I have been keeping them inside= are they supposed to be outside? I thought they might be house plants eek!

How do I care for a mini-Rose bush that I just got and it’s dieing. It’s in original pot, I tried nutrients???

It was flourshing with many blooms that died back. I’ve had it only 2 weeks, it’s close to a window with bright, not direct sun light. A store had a clearance and no one I knew would get one because they said they couldn’t keep them alive. Now it’s happening to this one I bought also.

What are your favorite song Lyrics?

Mine Is : Just Friends by The Jonas brothers
There she goes again
The girl I’m in love with
It’s cool we’re just friends
We walk the halls at school
We know it’s casual
It’s cool we’re just…
I don’t want to lead you on
No
But the truth is I’ve grown fond
Yeah
[Chorus:]Everyone knows it’s meant to be
Falling in love, just you and me
‘til the end of time
‘til I’m on her mind
It’ll happen
I’ve been making lots of plans
Like a picket fence and a rose garden
I just keep on dreaming
But it’s cool cause we’re just friends
Small talk on IM
Just one word sentences
It’s cool we’re just friends
If I had my way
We’d talk and talk all day
Yeah
[Chorus:]
Thinking about how
We’re gonna say our vows
It’s cool we’re just friends
She walks down the aisle
Seeing my face smile
Cause now we’re more than friends…
My other Favorite is: Our Time Now by The Plain White T’s
Oh oh oh oh
There will be no rules tonight
If there were we’d break ‘em
Nothing’s gonna stop us now
Let’s get down to it
Nervous hands and anxious smiles
I can feel you breathing
This is right where we belong
Turn up the music
Oh oh oh oh
[+Chorus:]

This is more than just romance
It’s an endless summer
I can feel the butterflies leading me through it
Take my heart I’ll take your hand
As we’re falling under
This is an addiction girl
Let’s give in to it
Oh oh oh oh
[+Chorus:]

Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Now
It’s a dance
Get up
Come on brothers
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh

This is the dance for all the lovers
Takin’ a chance for one another
Finally it’s our time now
These are the times that we’ll remember, breaking the city heart together
Finally it’s our time now
It’s our time now
It’s our time now
It’s our time now
It’s our time now
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Finally its our time now…

How do you take care of planted roses?

My man got me a pot of real roses that I want to take care of and plant in the spring. Do they need lots or little water and sunlight? When should I plant them outdoors? Do they need a bigger pot?

I have a Miniature rose plant in a pot in my kitchen. Is there anything i need to do to it?

Its just that its winter outside, and my little rose bush is all happy and producing flowers in the window. Do they need to “hibernate” or need a period of cold to do well, Or will he just keep on being a happy little rose bush all winter? His name is Dennis, if that matters, and he is 6 1/2 inches tall.

What is the best pot for my rose plant, and bushes?

I bought a rose tree that says it needs to be in a well drained pot. What type of pot do I need? I have some big plastic ones, that seem to have that area for water to flow up at the bottom…?

Frost the next few nights, What’s best way to protect tomato plant in a huge pot, and new planted rose bush?

Not worried about perennials because they come back. Just planted this large rose bush though.

Why are my roses growing bad after I put fertilizer?

I had recently planted 2 rose shrubs in pots. I had 3 beautiful roses. After about 2-3 weeks of planting, I applied ‘Rose Thrive’ (fertilizer) and now there is a ‘white powder’ like on the stems; the rose have turned a shade of green with pink spots, and leaves have yellow edges? Could you tell me what’s gone wrong? thanks
Thanks Donna I will try that.

What should I plant this spring in my outdoor garden?

I’m in the 5A-6B plant hardiness zone of Canada. I have a garden on a slight incline about twelve feet wide and five feet deep. It is currently quite rocky, it appears gravel was added underneath canvass for drainage (I assume) and then dirt dumped over it. Should I dig all of this out and start over? There are some perennials, (rose bushes – very ugly) that I’d like to pull out, and hostas I planted last year. What type of shrubs, perennials and flowers would do well in this area? I am looking for easy care type stuff, but I like pretty flowers. I also prefer wild flowers or those that look wild. I do not like the rose bushes, they are very difficult to make look pretty and are quite thorny making access to the rest of the garden difficult as they are so overgrown. Any tips for the small hill garden would be appreciated as well.

How should I take care of my mini rose bush?

My boyfriend got me a mini rose bush for Valentines Day (I do not celebrate the holiday and I told him that but he got me it anyway :/ ). He doesn’t know what kind of rose it is but the blooms are red and about an inch in diameter and the leaves are small and have have jagged edges. It is not very fragrant. I really want to take good care of this little plant; I’ve done research but it is all too generic, and I want to confirm what I have gathered.

Here is what I have gathered:
Roses need humidity.
Mixing dried used coffee grounds with the soil will help it grow.
They need indirect sunlight.
The roses should be trimmed when the blooms die or once in the spring and once in the fall.
They should be kept outside spring thru fall and inside in the winter.

Here are the rest of my questions:
What kind of mini rose is it?
Where should I replant it outside?
Do I need to replant it outside?
How can I tell when my flowers need a bigger pot?
When do I need to water my mini roses?
Can I simply spray my flowers with water instead of using a pebble tray?
If I can spray the flowers with water instead of using a pebble tray, how often should I spray them?

Those are all of my questions……for now. Please either confirm or disprove what I have learned thru research and answer my questions. Help me take care of this precious little plant!!

Is it ok to send red roses to a girl that you are not officially in a relationship with?

I started talking to a girl last spring. We met through a friend but with school and work we have not gotten a chance to actually meet face to face yet. The thing is we have become very close while talking online and over the phone. We both seem to have feelings for each other and have said “I love you” back and forth a few times.

So with that I would like to do something nice for her for Valentine’s Day. I thought sending flowers would let her know how much I care about her. The thing is I’m not sure if red roses are best considering how those are supposed to be a symbol for love and even though I do feel like I love her I don’t want to scare her away. Any suggestions would be great. Thank you.

hows this poem to give to a chick you care alot for.?

Your Love is as if water,
Life giving to my soul,
being in your presense is like bread, feeding my heart with Love.
Your beauty is like the blooming of the roses during the warm spring
your touch is like the gentle breeze that crisps my skin.
Your voice is like the soft sound of the ocean waves during the rising sun,
Calm,
Gentle
and Peaceful.
Yes a Man can buy you things ,
Yes a man can feed you words of sweetness amd seduction
, but I offer you my Heart
and only a few Men have one

Miniature roses?

At my local nursery i was given a pretty miniature (tea) rose as a gift from the store. It’s in lovely condition but the problem is…i have a terrible track record with these particular plants. I need good advice on how to care for this plant and how to keep it alive for longer than a couple of weeks. Also..i would like to know if it’s possible to plants it outside and if so ..what kind of conditions would it need to thrive out doors.
So i need advice on it’s care for living indoors over this winter, and what it needs to live in the garden if it’s possible to plant it out of doors this spring.

The rose bushes in my yard have fully bloomed once this summer. Should I prune them back now or later?

Will I be able to get another bloom out of them? I recently moved into a house with a great varity of rose bushes throught the yard. These bushes were very obviously the previous owners “hobby” and I would love to at least try to take care of them properly. I have read a little on the subject, but there’s nothing like a “real person” to answer questions. Any advice or tips for caring for these beautiful flowers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks…

What’s a good rose for a very sunny area?

I’m in Zone 5, Chicago area, and i have an area in my backyard that recieves around 8 hours of sun a day during the summer. Do you know any good roses for this area that tolerate that much sun? In a bush form? preferably care free. Thanks!

Can I substitute cream or half & half for buttermilk in a recipe for chilled cucumber soup?

I don’t care for buttermilk that is called for. Heres the recipe:

2 medium cucumbers {peeled, seeded and cut into pieces}
1 qt. nonfat buttermilk
2 chopped green onions with tops
1 T. dill weed
1 t. salt
1 T. lemon juice
pepper to taste

Mix all ingredients together in a blender. Chill. Serves 8. Perfect for this hot summer. Garnish with a tomato rose, parsley and a dollop of sour cream.
I am not concerned about calories just want to serve a rich creamy soup.

Does this girl still even care about me?

I have liked her for a few years now. I even told her my feelings. I wanted to hear her feelings but i didn’t get an answer. Two valentine days ago, I put a dozen roses in her locker and told her i would call her for a special surprise. That night, i sang her a song i wrote saying that i loved her and that “if I ever lost her, I wouldn’t be the same”. She said she loved it and kind of sounded confused. After that, she liked my company, and she gave me a hug sometimes. after summer vacation, she goes and dates this other guy. Did i really waste my time with this girl? Should I talk to her still?
