Re: Roses (three in one hole)

I seem to recall many years ago I planted several roses in one hole. I was intending only to heel them in temporarily but the planned replanting didn't happen.

They didn't make a bigger bush than ones I planted singly. I think I ended up with just one as the others died.

It's the pruning that makes a plant bushy or not.


There is a California grower who gives honest appraisals of the 140 roses she grows. She has both closeups and bush pictures. She even tells where you can see mature plants, like Belle Portugaise just off Hwy 101 on the way into Tiburon. She also tries to identify roses growing in Northern California, and has a section of her website for that.
