My lovely little Banksia rose

lovely Tetra

what a perfect little rose ~ i like its tiny feet too!!

This is a little gem..are they easy to look after ?

Thanks Sanbaz.
Sticki..they aint so tiny..especially after a day in the garden!!
Judy it IS a little gem..sat in a 1.5 litre square pot all winter, lost its leaves (not surprised it was darned cold), but the stems stayed lovely and green and bendy. It does get big if you let it..see my pics on a visit to Biddulph Gardens (in Places to Visit), its over half way up the wall of a stately home! I reckon its a "I'll grow despite you" plant lol!

Oo well in that case, I am definitely going to get one !

Lovely one.....wish I could find some room to grow it.

DD, you ALWAYS say that...and you always do!!! LOL!

I know...... but the garden has filled out so much this year, I am struggling to find places.....really!!

Nice one Tet. I had a climbing one with pink clusters and another a white one. Some have heavenly smells too. Used to grow roses myself. Had about 12 varieties. No point in going back to what I had. But after coming to this site sometimes I do; bad habit.
Mine used to come up roses with tea dust. Perfect answer to any plant. Wonder what you use. Best to you and yours....

Not a lot Vavilla, some occasional bonemeal, or chicken pellets..plenty of water, lots of encouraging words..I have about 30 roses, many in pots. Someone told me about breaking open used teabags..havent tried that. Bit sad this year trying hard to keep black spot at bay and not succeeding very well!

What I do for any leaf problem is to to remove the affected ones leaf by leaf if it is about to bloom. Otherwise if the plant is big enough I will cut off the affected branch. Must do this before any disease start spreading meaning you have to be alert with the first signs.
For me this generally works. You can put the tea bags in water and let it soak so that you can crush it all up to get the tea off the bags and let it dry in the sun after draining.
Then you can add it in safely. I don't take all that trouble but told you to do it that way since you don't get bright sunlight, the tea bags can turn mouldy in the rose pot. Tea is supposed to be very good for health, but tea bags don't contribute much to health. Maybe something is lost in the process of bagging them. I had everything in twelves and fourteens. I mean varieties of plants like ferns, begonias, bougainvillaes, roses, crotons etc. However Tet, don't do what asked you to do with tea for the roses, unless you can experiment on it by using it on
something you do not mind losing! For me tea leaves and dust works for anything I grow. Tea dust for plants is sold seperately so that it comes completely dry. Haven't bought those things for ages because now I am not in to plants in a big way. Thus, hardly anything is used on my plants except water. That too is not done daily! Thanks for giving me time and space to air my views. Best.
