I just planted 10 rose bushes about 4 weeks ago in a raised bed in Houston, which is very humid. How long should I wait to appy this and should I use half strength the first time?

I have always waited two weeks before applying - just felt like it might shock a plant if applied too early (no scientific reference - just seemed logical). I always use full strength when I do apply.

Just remember that when applying this to your roses you will kill any honey bees or other beneficial pollinators. This german made product is not available in germany or europe because of its toxicity. I would look at organic alternative. Good luck to you

No, kill the grass first with some grass and weed killer, wait two to three weeks then plant the walk on me thyme. Keep well watered when planting.

I think the key thing is to use it consistently, and in the proper pattern. and in accordance to your weather In my case, in the fall, I need to ensure the immediate 20' surrounding my house is covered at least every month, to keep them from tunneling under porch and hibernating there. (I have 2 acres of yard and am in Zone 7, so I have to sacrifice some parts during the year and winter months) In the spring (as soon as you see activity in the perimeter), start your dosing, if they have infiltrated close, drive them out by doing a 10-20' perimeter closest to your house/center of the lawn week 1, the next band (21-40') the next week, and then band 41-60' etc to your edge perimeter. If that works, then you can just treat that outer perimeter every month-6weeks for the rest of the year. This worked well for me this year. If you get a lot of rain, you may need to tighten your dosing windows, but 4-6 weeks the oil should last given ~1" of rain/watering a week.

My YT&T; planting is in Central Florida. Survived Summer. Just starting to Bloom. Plant now should be okay in Houston. As in Florida...Sun means not direct sun.

I wouldn't wait too much longer if you want to enjoy them for the summer. Mine are about 2-3 inches now and it takes 3-4 weeks for them to start coming up. I start mine in a raised garden bed then transplant them. I was sad the ones I planted last summer didn't come back. Maybe because of the harsh winter we had in NC. I lost other perennials as well. These are beautiful plants. Last year I planted them really late because I ordered them late. They still came up.

That is precisely how I use it. I get approximately a month of use. Then I go to individual pots. Need to keep an eye on the roots towards the end. They will grow together making it harder to remove plants....fyi

Hi Ja - I've planted several new roses, about 1 month ago and bought the Bayer Advanced 2 in 1 systemic. Early days still, but container states for Roses and Flowers..But contains strong fertilizer and Aphid protection for 8 weeks. Not use on veg or near Ponds and wash hands after use..pretty potent stuff, I.m assuming. Sorry I can't help more - but I was impressed by another product of Bayer and I'm thinking 'Give it a try' Maybe tell you more about performance. a few more months down the line. Regards and Good Luck ..Linda x

I don't see any problem, unless rose stems are too stiff to train around legs. I use them for mandevilla vines ... cold probably do the same for clematis.

We live in Austin tx and do not have snow(thank goodness) . During our summer months, it lasts about 1 month without new growth on roses. New growth must be sprayed as soon as they appear.

I got my seeds from amazon. Planted them in a hanging basket, and nothing came up. So I wrote to Renee's Garden, the lady who provided the seeds. These seeds need to be planted when the temperatures do not go below 50 at night. Renee sent me a new packet of seeds and I planted them in a hanging basket. The temps are warmer now, and they really began to pop up when we got into the 90's. They like moist, humid weather and warm, warm, warm. Mine have not bloomed yet, but they are coming along. If you wish me to contact you when they bloom, just let me know.

I would say depending on how often it has rained, I would water it at least once a week. check on it though, if it looks as though it needs water more often than that then I would water it twice a week instead. make sure that it is well established in the area that you decide, or have already decided to plant it at. I hope that this helps you out. thank you very much, rennea Esposito burgess. 863-683-8711. I have one of these myself. it is very little. about 10 inches tall. I think in the beginning you may want to water it a little more, but just do not over water it. thanks again, rennea. I hope that you have the very best of luck with it. they are very beautiful vines. rennea.

I've had mine for about 4 mos and it is a great plant, however needs a lot of attention. Recommend that you don't put it outside right away as it will die in extreme climate changes. I would put it where it's mildly warm and move it back and forth from outside to inside for a good month and then have it outside for longer periods of time until you know it can handle the heat and humidity. Mine didn't like the hot outdoors so had to bring it inside for longer periods of time. It is too late in the season to have it outside so I will wait until Spring/Summer to try to have it planted outside permanently.

Depends on the size of the plant, your potting mix, and your climate but I would say about 1 week.

I did two in each of mine. This is my first year using these pots and so far they are great! Growing way way better than in my raised beds!

Unfortunately not long enough. Sprinkled every week after Gardner, but within a month the deer gat used to it and got the roses that had come back. Tried liquid fence with same results

My husband is a trained plant person and says it is best to spray ivy in the spring the first time when the stem and leaves are about seven inches long. Repeat spraying necessary when new green appears in places you have already sprayed.
