[Rose-list] Re: bloomin'/ propagation

Good question... they didn't say the ratio, but any cheap aspirin
should do.  I know that 1 per vase of roses is good... I would guess
that 4-6 per 3 gallon bucket would be well.  They should sit in the
water as you would Willow Tea, 24 hours.  

Willow Tea... chop new growth of de-leafed willow limbs (whips) into
1 inch peices (the tedious part) bring water to boil, turn off heat,
add willow peices, cover with a lid and set to step 24 hours.  Strain
off willow. Can refrigerate for about a week.  They didn't give the
ratio of this either.  I used 3 cups of water to 1 cup of willow
peices. Then added about a cup of this Willow Tea to 1 gallon of
water for soaking the cuttings for 24 hours, in shade, outside. 

Sincerely,
