Re: Re: 2009 perennial
Cathy,
One of our biggest problems with Rozanne was growing them on to were
they were big enough to come out and play in our customers gardens. We tried
purchasing in the fall and growing on for sale the next spring and found we
lost most of them over winter in containers. So, we tried getting them early
as we could and growing them on before shipping for at least 3 months.
Simply put, we found Rozanne a "difficult" geranium to handle. Also it is
slow to awaken each spring. Most gardeners have finished buying in garden
centers before Rozanne really gets started unless gown on under lights and
heat.. and that one is getting prohibitive.

I've had more trouble with Rozanne. The two I got from Gene several years
ago are thriving, but I have lost a couple newer plants. Maybe it is the
same issue. I have one 'Auriola' that is thriving, a second, purchased in
the same year that is struggling. You never know, especially those of us
that do not buy large quantities.
