I rooted cuttings from my rose bush. It took a few months but, with the help of rooting hormone I was successful. I have each one in a pot and they are doing so well they each have a new sprout. Do I dare plant them this fall, or should I wait untill next year? I’d hate to lose them and have to start all over. Thanks!!
Dear Linda, congratulations on getting the rose cuttings to root. Spring is the time to plant the roses. In the meantime, do not allow the rose cutting roots to dry out even for a short time and keep them in a cool, dark dry place like a garage but not where they will freeze. In the meantime prepare the soil in the garden where they will be planted with manure and test the soil with a kit to check how you need to adjust for the best rose growing conditions, which is in a soil that drains well and has a ph of 6.5 to 7.0. Plant the roses in late May when all danger of frost is over and email me at that time and I will let you know what to do to have success. Good luck Maureen
I asked a question of you recently on 100.5 regarding how to prevent burn of my grass by a puppy. You reminded me how to patch the areas and after I was off air with you, your associate also mentioned irrigation would help. I just found a product at Pet Smart called “Grass Guard Max,” by Nutri-Vet. This product is marketed to stop lawn burn indicating that the probiotics and enzymes reduce the urine nitrogen in dogs. I thought I’d pass this along to you to let you know that there are products out in the market that supposedly reduce the nitrogen content in a pet’s urine thereby reducing the damage to lawn in tablet or bisquit form. My dog loves these tablets and they are treat. If t hey work, it’s a lot less work than continually patch seeding burn spots, and quite less costly. Thank you.

Cindy, thank you so much for the ‘Grass Guard Max’ info, I will certainly pass it on in my May tips and also when I’m next on the radio. Maureen
