Nice to hear Jordan your working there.Surely got to be around the roses that's your speciality.Good Luck mate.

Well done Jordan, it sounds like employment you will enjoy

thanks guys

work!...not likely...he will be spending most of his time ogling the roses.....

haha neptune .. seriously not lol

tomorow is re potting the left overs from bare root season for roses i will be tempted but NO more i got most of why They have there anyways

unless i missed one LOL

I bet there is alot to repott Jordan there was heaps last time I went.I dont think All Green reduce there roses towards the end of the bare root season like other places.I usually deal with Justin there very helpfull and great advice.Last rose I got from there was Go For Gold a HT from bred for our Olympic team by Landsdale Roses in WA.

Thomas's have them Jordan, if you get a chance ring them and talk to Glenys.

jordan , your potting mix seems to be out of balance....you only have plain potting mix and two sorts of manure plus a wetting agent.......you may like to give this one a go...

combine one third good quality commercial potting soil(with wetting agent provided),
one third well- aged garden compost(get at Bunnings) (if this is not available then substitute more of the potting soil) and
one third well-composted mushroom or cow manure(both at Bunnings).
You may wish to add an extra cup of perlite(those little white things- also at Bunnings) to the mix to enhance drainage.
It is beneficial to the rose to add one cup of blood and bone to the soil. To increase the nutrient level, fishmeal may be added.

Roses are heavy feeders, as they need fertile conditions to produce many blooms over the growing season.

To be honest with people I use Rich Gro normal potting mix with soil wetter in it already.I just add seaweed liquid fertilizer often and rose food or sometimes dynamic lifter which has it all.The mix has done well for me.
