Re: Rosa 'Paul's > now ZD

Kitty: How often will this rose be watered and for how long, do you
know? Roses do so much better with less frequent but longer watering
sessions at their root zone...it encourages deep root development which
is essential for winter hardiness and for survival during dry times.

Sounds beautiful...and encouraging, Fran. Our ZDs will have excellent
full<br>sun, great air, and MGs to fertilize and water it. My main
concern is that<br>they won't be watered from below, but rather from a
tall cycling sprinkler<br>head that covers the entire garden. More
chance for fungal disease which I<br>read ZD is prone to.<br><br>Re

Time will tell. I<br>may have to replace them if
not.<br><br>Kitty<br><br>----- Original Message ----- <br>From: "F M
