In a moment of weakness, I've bought a Tree Rose from Jackson & Perkins
- Princess of Wales Hybrid Tea 36" Tree Rose, and a ground cover rose to go at the base of the planter -- Baby Blanket Garden Ease.
I was weak.
I've never grown roses, and I've had trouble finding details about care & feeding of Tree Roses online. I've got the following questions;
- Soil -- Can I use my regular 1/3 Canadian peat moss, 1/3 vermiculite, 1/3 perlite?
- Planter -- Plastic, wood, ceramic or clay?
- Should I be spraying for bugs, mildew, etc. BEFORE I see symptoms, pro-actively?
- J&P will deliver at any time. I've selected 04-15-05, a date I pulled out of my, em, ear. What time should she go into her planter and into the front yard? I'm USDA Zone 8 (midlands South Carolina).
Many thanks!
