Re: Moving Roses

Carleen:

If I wait to move the roses until late Nov., when the ground's still workable
but the
rose's roots aren't so active, would this be safer than early fall? I don't
worry about
most of them but a couple are puny to start with - in this case,  would it be
better to
let them get on with things this fall and wait til spring? How early does
frost hit your area? On average, how cold does it get?

Sarah van Fleet is nicely bushy on the lower half, but the upper half must
have been
trying to outrun the Japanese beetle as her arms were stretched to the sun!
Had to restrain her but she's a  quite attractive rugosa - nasty thorns tho.

Thanks for the info on encouraging fruiting apple branches - I've always
wanted to
surround the garden fence with Belgain fencing but can't figure out how to
keep the
continuity in the area of shade - the apple tree wouldn't do well there would
it? It's 
about 15' of the fencing.

New Rosa rugosa 'Alba" hasn't set hips from it's few but lovely flowers - is
this normal the first year?

Thanks for your help - Bye - Joanie
