Now celebrating our


anniversary!
Welcome to our home on the internet!
~Slideshow:  highlights of our garden tour and dinner, 2008.~
You're invited to our next meeting!
What you should be doing for your roses now if you live in North-Central Indiana:
ˇ ˇ Plant bare-root roses as soon as soil is dry enough to work. ˇ Plant container roses.
ˇ Transplant roses.
ˇ Remove the tree roses and climbers that were laid down for winter.
ˇ Tie up the climbers on their supports. ˇ Replant tree roses, staking them to keep them from being knocked over. ˇ As soon as plants begin to grow, apply fertilizer. Use a soluble fertilizer, following manufacturer’s directions or a granular 10-10-10 or 12-12-12. One handful around each plant or approximately ˝ cup per bush depending on bush size. Water to soak in and wash the spills on the leaves.
