All our area used to be orchards before the suburbs spread. I use a combination of fast nitrogen and alfalfa on the roses, and maintain heavy mulch which gradually decomposes and improves the soil.Mashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15996950576326655813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791015846743839791.post-18733397677362336142013-04-30T09:21:34.852-07:002013-04-30T09:21:34.852-07:00Masha, is it any wonder that you receive such comp...Masha, is it any wonder that you receive such compliments.

I don't receive compliments from people, I guess they mainly think I'm crazy but sometimes when some old lady look at my garden and start making waves with her bike instead of going in a straight line, well I take that as a compliment.<br />I am always in love with your Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791015846743839791.post-47498319662914856412013-04-28T15:03:48.199-07:002013-04-28T15:03:48.199-07:00Oh my gosh ~ 130 roses.

Jane, in general, California...Thank you and merci!<br /><br />Jane, in general, California is a great place to grow roses: it is dry so blackspot pressure is low. Our growing season is long and there are no winter freezes, so roses can get as big as you let them. Our most common foliar diseases are mildew and rust, but they do not handicap roses as severely as blackspot does.
