Re: Water Needs & HELLOOOO out there!

Thanks all.... I've been running the drip emitters for about 3 hours every 2
or 3 days and notice these plants/roses (not all have them yet) are much
more lush.  Even the bleeding hearts are reblooming.  It's not that the
other roses are suffering big time, but they do lack the luster and lushness
that these now have...  These emitters send out 1 gallon per hour.
