christmanart how do you transplant them when they outgrow the pots?

meadowlark124 christmanart...even the hardiest varieties of roses cannot survive the bitter winters here in northern IL if they are left exposed and above ground in the pots. So sadly, outgrowing the container is never a problem. At the end of the season, I just give them away to friends or neighbors who replant them in the ground, as I really have no good location for roses im my yard. Even then, planting roses in the late fall is risky, and they do not always survive.

alibonelli Great designs- just added lots of pics to my own personal ideabook.

pkoko624 I have a question....we currently have an exposed aggregate patio. Our house is older and it was probably put in many years ago. The slabs are not all perfectly level from settling over the years. We were considering putting pavers or some other landscaping stones over the top. Can we just add a couple inches of crushed rock or sand or do we have to completely tear out the concrete. It's solid and in good shape, just unattractive.

dkguenther An easy and less costly solution to renew old concrete patios and driveways is to use a special resurfacing concrete mix. This will fill in cracks, cover stains and level it out so it looks like new again. It bonds to the old concrete if done properly. If/when the surface is level you can apply a resin bond with pebbles, which is good around pools, on driveways and sidewalks.
