Re: hum.... who grows tree roses and tree hibiscus

Donna, it depends on the rose cultivar as to whether it would be winter hardy. I'm thinking NO with the exposed trunk. But regardless, care is the same. Lots of sun, deadhead, fertilize, and spray for blackspot.
David Franzman would have to answer the hib questions. Anyone heard from him? I was thinking about him just today.

Subject: [CHAT] hum.... who grows tree roses and tree hibiscus


A customer dropped off some plants for me today. He
brought me 2 rose tree (pink and red no names) and 2
tree hibiscus (red and orange again no names). They
are supposed to be grown in a pot on the patio
according to him and would have to be taken in for the
winters here in zone 5. Ok, know the hibiscus would,
but can't I plant the tree rose?

Comments? Suggestion of what the hey I should do with
these in the care department?

I am totally surprized by this gift to me... and
totally unprepared, but grateful non the less.

Donna
