I've just planted climbing roses in a west-facing full-sun garden bed.
Roses were planted by a gardener and new topsoil brought in.
They are new young plants that are on stakes.
They are the Westerland variety and have been in the ground for about 2 weeks now.
So far they are producing blooms but they only seem to be lasting a day or so before they need to be dead-headed. I've also noticed some drying or dying leaves on some of them. Have also seen yellowing or black leaves.
What do I need to be doing? As yet, I have not implemented a fertilizing regimen.I have been watering them daily.Why are my Westerland climbing roses requiring dead-heading as soon as they bloom?
Hi KImchico,
Most roses, need to be deadheaded to encourage re-bloom. The yellow leaves could be a fungus called Black spot. It starts out with leaves turning yellow.
Discard all yellow leaves. And spray with a fungicide control.
Most all climbing roses, don't bloom a lot the first year. They need time to build long flowering canes, which should be trained horizontally as much as possible.
These long canes, when trained horizontally, will produce lateral shorter canes which are the real flowering canes.
You should fertilize now, and every 3 weeks during the season.
Do not prune these long canes next spring, only prune the lateral canes down to about 2-3 inches, no matter how long they are.
I have a Westerland climber myself. It's really beautiful now ,4 years old.
AnnelieWhy are my Westerland climbing roses requiring dead-heading as soon as they bloom?
Chances are these roses are suffering from the traditional moisture related diseases that plague them in moist climates: mildew, blackspot and rust. Rose growers have long battled moisture related diseases with breeders hoping to create new varieties with greater resistance. But many of the established varieties are quite vulnerable, particularly if they are planted in a less than ideal exposure.
Roses planted in morning sun tend to suffer less from disease because the sun helps dew to evaporate quickly. This dries the leaves early in the day leaving an inhospitable environment for disease. The yellowing and black leaves you see are probably blackspot, which is tough to control with fungicide sprays. Spores remain to infect the fallen leaves too, so you must keep them raked up. When mildew strikes buds and blooms, they tend to wither prematurely.
Because your roses are climbers they must be trained onto a surface, probably a fence or wall. This further limits air circulation as well as lack of morning solar exposure. So rest assured it's not a watering problem nor one of pruning or fertilizer. It is merely the consequences of a less than ideal location. Your choices are either battle the diseases forever or move the roses to a new east facing location and replace with a more shade tolerant vine.

Is it too early to spray Daconil on lilacs? Leaf buds and bloom buds are appearing. Spray schedule?
What are you spraying for? If it's just the powdery mildew common on lilac leaves in the fall, don't bother... doesn't really bother the plants, especially when the damage isn't apparent till late in the summer. Prune for increased air circulation.
Most fungicides are fairly nasty. Bordeaux mixture and sulfur are about the most benign of the bunch, and will control powdery mildew.
If you've got Ascochyta, pruning and sanitation will go a long way towards controlling it.Is it too early to spray Daconil on lilacs? Leaf buds and bloom buds are appearing. Spray schedule?
no need to spray. fertilize with a bit of bone meal and water.

If stored lily bulbs are dried up and hard will they still bloom?
I bought oriental lilies at the end of the season last year for a great deal, 12 for $12, 3 diff varieties. I stored them in the refrigerator through the winter, and before I put them in the fridge they were fine, fleshy, moist. I pulled them out of the fridge the other day and they had begun to sprout, and had completely dried out. Two of the varieties were dry, and hard. the third was still somewhat moist, but the outer parts of the bulb were hard. I went ahead and planted them in a pot. My question is will these recover, and grow?If stored lily bulbs are dried up and hard will they still bloom?
How dried up were they? Looking like prunes or what? Plant them in a pot and see what happens, if something shows later in the spring, plant them where you want them. That鈥檚 what I would do, I never give up on flowers :pIf stored lily bulbs are dried up and hard will they still bloom?
Who knows. Maybe. I wouldn't put money on them. Problem is modern refrigs are drying in order to keep frost free. Hence the poor babies dried out. Maybe they will take in moisture from the soil............if they can get some roots out. I'm not holding my breath.
Lillies do not like to dry out, and your chances are very low of them surviving, but what have you lost by planting you never know your luck!Ltd

Does seeing color on zinnias leaves and stem mean the flowers will bloom soon?
I am growing zinnias and they are growing great. I have grown them from seeds and about two months now. I started them around march 15 and I just noticed that two of the many I have has color on the stem and a little bit on the underside of the leaves its starting to get a pinkish color. Does that mean flowers will bloom soon?and if so how soon will they bloom.this is my first time growing these and would like an estimate on when the flowers will bloom.thanks!!Does seeing color on zinnias leaves and stem mean the flowers will bloom soon?
they usually flower from the start of July and can still flower if looked after well until mid October (also depending on the weather)

31% strongly disapprove of Barry Obama vs 34% strongly approve. Is the bloom off the rose for Barry?
Barack Obama after only ten weeks in office is down to 34% strongly approve while 31% strongly disapprove for a presidential approval index of +3 Poll information releases this hour.
This is half of One Term Barry's margin of victory last November. How long will it be until Barry's approval index drops into negative terrirtory?
Saturday, April 04, 2009
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Saturday shows that 34% of the nation's voters now Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Thirty-one percent (31%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of +3, matching his lowest rating to date31% strongly disapprove of Barry Obama vs 34% strongly approve. Is the bloom off the rose for Barry?
No, but some of that undigested garbage you regurgitate continuously is still stuck to your chin, hatchling.31% strongly disapprove of Barry Obama vs 34% strongly approve. Is the bloom off the rose for Barry?
As long as the bought and paid for liberal media continues to get ';tingles up and down the leg'; when Hussein Obama speaks, I doubt the rating will ever completely tank.
The bigger question is whether Comrade General Secretary Obama gets the message before he completes his glorious collectivist revolution.
It's nice to see isn't it? Perhaps it's not too late for America. The 2010 elections are coming up and we can restore power to the GOP, who will lead us out of this mess.
What happened? I though he was going to ';reach across the aisle';? He can't capitalize on his long senate experience? How long was he a senator? Something like 20 years?

I have a laptop running Windonws XP and it s so blooming slow it is painful. Can i format the drive and reload
Is this the best solution? How does one go about this?I have a laptop running Windonws XP and it s so blooming slow it is painful. Can i format the drive and reload
You don't need to. Click on the run command on the startup menu and type msconfig. Then click on the startup tab. Those are all the programs that start up with the computer and they're what's slowing it down. Uncheck them all and reboot. Windows doesn't need any of them. If something quits working that you need, just figure out which box it was and recheck it.I have a laptop running Windonws XP and it s so blooming slow it is painful.

The reason the computer gets slow is due to the registry files becoming corrupted, or messed up, in simple terms. These files tell the computer or laptop how to operate the software installed on the system. If any of these files get messed up, the computer is not sure what to do and this will really slow down the computer. The other scenario is where you download other software, screensavers, pictures, videos, or even music, and this will somehow change the settings on a registry file. When this happens, the original program that needs that file now has the wrong instructions in it. So, it will cause the computer to run slow, or in a worse case, crash.

Do what I did and put Ubuntu on it.
XP is a resource hog anyway - I'm sitting here typing this on a celeron 1.7 using about 3% CPU power, and getting 2.5 hours from my battery.
I will admit there is a little learning curve on Ubuntu but if you stick with it and use the forums to solve problems you won't look back. And best of all it's free.
Just download, burn the ubuntu 8.04 CD, boot up on it and when ubuntu has loaded check all the wireless etc work ok and you feel its Ok , then you can click the Install Icon and it will guide you through.
