Master Gardeners Of Rockland. En Bradford, Master Gardener. My goal for this project was to design and install a garden that marries aesthetic design with crop production. I wanted to include vegetables, fruit, herbs, flowers and ornamentals. How did I get the idea? From the work Donna D and I did on the Edible Garden series…I fell in love with the. Ornamental vegetable garden….so, in the fall I began by. Designing the layout, removing turf, tilling and adding manure. The only machinery I used w. Flowers...

Master Gardeners Of Rockland. Friday, October 24, 2014. Plant of the Month. Any plant with the word “weed” in its name has a marketing problem. But consider the glorious Eupatorium maculatum. Towering over other perennials, topped with a poufy rose-pink flowerhead; a high-rise dining establishment; a “Rainbow Room” for the insect world. Otherwise known as Joe Pye Weed. Yep, “weed”. A must for native plant gardens, butterfly gardens, and rain gardens. Eupatorium maculatum. Alexander Pope, an 18. Century E...

Tuesday, June 11, 2013. Having Fun Getting Ready for High Rose Tide. From mid April through 4th of July, I spend every available daylight hour working outside to make the gardens here at Der Rosenmeister as beautiful as possible. Guess I was out in the sun too long when my friend, Alex Solla, of Alex Solla Photography took this pic. His daughter was helping edge the bed of roses along the driveway. When I saw this strip of sod, I couldn't resist! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Roses Are Plants Too.

Thorny Issues: April 2012
http://derrosenmeister.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 23, 2012. Another Look At Cold Hardiness In Climbers and Ramblers - Spring 2012. I always prune my roses as the forsythia starts to bloom. This year I pruned at least a month earlier than I typically do. There was no difference in how the roses responded to this earlier pruning and later pruning. Keep in mind, all roses grown here have been selected for cold hardiness and disease resistance. This is what I observed. The R kordeseii hybrids varied in their response. Some had no dieback, ...

Tuesday, April 2, 2013. Training and Pruning Ramblers. 8221; Close friends knew that I was back outside working in my nursery and display gardens. The first step in pruning and training a rambler is to cut off last years flowering laterals. Ramblers also produce flowers on the ends of their canes. These need to be removed as well. (See next three images). Here is a close up of a cane before the flowering laterals are shortened. And now, after shortening. Starting at ground level, canes are carefully unta...

Thorny Issues: June 2011
http://derrosenmeister.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 25, 2011. It’s a term used to describe the process of collecting antique roses to propagate that are growing untended. This term was made popular in Thomas Christopher’s book, In Search of Lost Roses. This can be a solitary or group event. Old rose addicts and history buffs. Does one rustle roses? I have found it is best to do it at high rose tide, when the roses are in bloom so you can find the plants in the landscape. Does one rose rustle? Does one rustle a rose? Upon returning home, pot...
