I've used it on the dogs.least they smell better so i guess its a partial de oderizer.
When I lived up Whitehouse,with
growing over 100
roses(181 at one time.....)I made myself a magnet for aphids(the flour thing worked,but was not pretty but was neat making aphids blow up)the rubbing alchoal was too time consuming .I had read online that a rosearian from the
rose society would come to your house if we're a 1st time grower.So called and a few weeks later one came to visit.she told me about the neem& a bunch of do's& don't's.
apple cider vinegar 1 TBS 1 gallon of water.water plants with every 3 months.it boosts growth and provides trace minerals& lowers soil PH
organic
rose fertilizer(developed by Morris Arboretum Phildelpia PA)
1 cup alfalfa meal
1 cup greensand
1 cup gypsum
1/2 cup bone meal
mix ingrediants well sprinkle around base of
roses and scratch in .best done in early
spring.That makes enough for 1 large
rose bush or 3 small
roses.
damping off cure I forgot about
5 ml of 3% hydrogen peroxide to 95 ml of water.water all
seedlings with.
damping off is caused by Fungi present in your starting mix.I always pour boiling water over mine before planting and usually water with hot tap water as well.NOT COLD(cold water stresses a
seedling)you can cook your soil in oven 180 degrees for 40 minutes.It's also not 100% sure for killing them,but will reduce the problem greatly.
The rest of stuff in
rose file box is just calenders from tracking my spraying/blooming/watering/bug control methods.
I found a note on Belinda's dream.1st note was move to more than 3 hours of sun.2nd note is parentage.Tiffany X Jersey Beauty. named after breeders daughter Robert Basyse 1992.I've also marked that I grew it to 4-6 ft and prefer to keep to short& that a 2nd bush I grew reverted to reddish pink blooms in the 4th year when I moved with it(which I forgot& know it was one of the 12 I burned.I was having a mad gardner day)
