Hello Dear Rose Friends,So, after last weeks Rambler, did you go and check for blind shoots like Judy did?

Here’s her comment …
BEST ADVICE EVER!!!!! Went outside and, lo and behold, blind shoots. Gave them the snip and left the lovely little buds free to do their thing. Thank you!.
Kind regards, Judy
It’s all happening here with new products in our range. After quite an extensive trial on both potted and garden plants, we are now committed to using seaweed products by local manufacturers, Fair Dinkum Fertilizer - Seaweed Gold and Bloom Boom. Accordingly, we have reviewed our RECIPE FOR ORGANIC ECO ROSE MANAGEMENT … see below and perhaps print this Rose Rambler for future reference.

Over the years, we’ve had many emails similar to this one …
Hello my lovely Rose Mentor! Super Duper excited for all my coming blooms.

About a month ago I mixed up your organic eco rose management mix. I was very careful to slosh it from one bucket to the next at least ten times so it was thoroughly mixed together. I used it on my roses, your recipe says to use 10 litres of water so I had quite a lot left over. I popped a lid on the left over and left it and today I went to use some and well, there are some chunks floating around in there. Like it’s fermented or something…. Is it still ok to use?

Is it ever ok to save the left overs or should it be discarded?

Thank you so much. Cassie.

MY RESPONSE ...

Never, ever store this product once mixed. Cassie, make up a recipe that works for you … perhaps you only need 2 litres of spray – then break down the recipe … easy!

Cheers – Gra.

CHANGED RECIPE FOR ORGANIC ROSE MANAGEMENT …

Rather than see such effective, environmentally friendly and economical products be wasted, we’ve created a NEW RECIPE FOR JUST 1 LITRE OF WATER.

With many rose lovers only having a few roses and smaller gardens, it is now timely that we offer this recipe which suits mixing our recommended Eco-Fungicide, Eco-Oil and Seaweed Gold into just ONE LITRE of water.
Our recipe is simple, safe, effective and economical … to each 1 litre of water add:
  • 1 level metric teaspoon (4g) Eco-Fungicide powder
  • 5mls Eco-Oil Insecticide
  • 4mls Fair Dinkum Seaweed Gold
Once well blended, spray must be used immediately and applied over foliage to runoff at least monthly or more frequently at critical periods of the season if pests/disease occur. Apply spray early morning, avoid spraying flowers (due to discoloration) and never spray if temperature is expected to exceed 30 degrees!
HAVE A GIGGLE ...
Q. How do you make an octopus laugh?
A. With ten-tickles.

I’m absolutely blown away with the order I just received from silkies. I ordered three David Austin potted roses and one hybrid Potted rose and not only are they in beautiful condition but they Also arrived extremely fast, even though I’m in another state. I had previously ordered roses from a big online seller and when they bloomed, they were not what I was after. On an Australian David Austin Facebook group I had posted Looking for a specific rosebush and was recommended to check out silkies. Not only was the selection of David Austin’s Incredible for this time of year, but The process of using the website really simple. Shipping was a little bit pricey, However, I was getting for potted roses sent to another state and they came so quickly, so I can’t really complain. I’m happy to pay a shipping rate for plants if it means they get to me safely and quickly With Little stress. The packaging that they came in was not over the top like other sellers, which can be quite wasteful, But it was perfect in ensuring that the roses were safe. I’ve become quite addicted to David Austin roses, so I’ll definitely be purchasing from silkies again and again.

Keep up the great work guys. Absolutely love your work.
Enjoy all the moments in your garden this week … love from us all at Clonbinane
