Beautiful rose, countrynest! Are roses blooming in Florida already, or is it in a greenhouse or something? I have trouble getting mine to bloom in the summertime! You are lucky.

Oh well, off to shovel more snow.

Gorgeous, countrynest!!!

I have two Don Juans I'm trying to nurse back to health. After over 5 years of neglect, they're actually bouncing back!

Lots of new buds but I can tell they're having a hard time blooming. I'm making myself cut off the new buds so they can spend this season building strong roots and health.

I'm very new to gardening so I sure hope I'm doing the right thing. Can you please tell me what your watering and feeding schedule is - which fertilizer do you use and do you spray?

Hope my Don Juans will be able to produce blossoms like yours someday!
