- by Rebecca Egan

The garden lily is a beautiful plant that blooms in the warm months of summer, fall and spring. However, sometimes these lovely blossoms stop flowering for no apparent reason. If you’re having trouble getting your garden lily to bloom again after it’s gone dormant in winter or stopped blooming due to lack of water, follow these easy tips for keeping your plant healthy and happy:

Garden lilies are a popular choice for warm-climate gardens, but the cold weather can take its toll on these plants.

Garden lilies are a popular choice for warm-climate gardens, but the cold weather can take its toll on these plants. They need to be kept warm in winter and protected from frost, as well as kept cool during the summer months.

Factors that cause your garden lily to stop blooming include drying out the soil and lack of water, as well as too much water.

Factors that cause your garden lily to stop blooming include drying out the soil and lack of water, as well as too much water.

If your plant is not receiving enough water it will not bloom. This can be caused by several things including:

  • The potting mix being too dry or compacted in the pot
  • A location that doesn’t get enough sunlight or shade from other plants blocking the sun’s rays

When watering your garden lilies, keep in mind that they don’t need a lot of water, especially during cooler months when they’re not actively growing.

Watering garden lilies is different than watering other plants. While most plants thrive on consistent moisture, garden lilies need less water, especially during cooler months when they’re not actively growing.

In the wintertime and early spring, you’ll want to be careful not to over-water your garden lilies; otherwise you could cause them harm or …

Ways To Care For Roses

- by Rebecca Egan

Roses are beautiful, but they need care to stay healthy and beautiful. The plant itself grows from a root system that consists of one or more main trunks. New growth will emerge from these trunks as well as from buds on older wood. Roses require regular pruning to keep them healthy and attractive.

Plant a healthy rose.

  • Plant a healthy rose.
  • Choose the right place to plant your roses and choose a rose that will grow well in your area. For example, if you live in an area with hot summers and cold winters, look for roses that can tolerate those conditions. Also, choose a type of soil (loamy or sandy) that suits the needs of your plant(s). If you’re planting bare-root roses or shrubs, dig holes deep enough so they won’t be planted too shallowly; this helps prevent disease problems such as crown gall or collar rot from occurring later on down the road!
  • Be sure to research what climates are good matches for particular types of plants before making any purchases because some plants may not thrive even if they’re being grown under optimal conditions elsewhere around North America.”

Water the rose deeply but infrequently.

Watering roses deeply but infrequently is the best way to water your roses. Roses are like people: they need water, but too much of it can be bad for them.

If you water your roses deeply every time they need watering, then they will grow deep roots and be able to withstand droughts better than if you watered them more frequently with less water each time. This will also allow you to go longer between watering sessions because the plant won’t need as much water at any one time.

Feed the rose regularly with high-nitrogen fertilizer.

When deciding on the right fertilizer, there …

Roses Of The World

- by Rebecca Egan

Roses are one of the most popular flowering plants, with over 100 varieties cultivated for their showy flowers. The flowers come in a variety of different colors and sizes, ranging from large and bushy to small and delicate. Roses have been used medicinally in ancient times as well as being prized by gardeners who appreciate their beauty. They can also be used in food, either fresh or dried; rose water is made by steeping rose petals in water then straining it out again. This makes an excellent addition to cakes or desserts!

Rosa glauca

Rosa glauca is a species of rose native to the eastern Mediterranean region, from Turkey east to Lebanon and north to southern Russia, Georgia and Azerbaijan. It has been introduced into other regions as an ornamental shrub. The name “glauca” means “bluish gray” in Latin; this refers to the grey-green leaves which are covered with hairs giving them a silvery appearance when young. The flowers are usually yellow but can also be white or pink with five petals (sepals). It grows well in any good garden soil but prefers full sun locations where it will produce masses of flowers throughout summer until early autumn before going dormant over winter months until next year’s new growth emerges from buds formed during previous years’ growth cycle which then flowers again later on in springtime after having gone dormant over winter months since last year’s flowering season ended during late autumn/early winter months at end November through mid February time period depending upon location

Rosa laevigata

Rosa laevigata is a hybrid tea rose that was bred by Jean-Louis Van Fleet in 1956. It is a cross between R. ‘Madame Caroline Testout’ and R. ‘Charles de Mills’. The result was this beautiful flower with light pink flowers with darker pink …

Roses Gardening How To Grow

- by Rebecca Egan

Roses are the most popular garden plant. Choosing a site for your rose garden and preparing the soil properly is crucial to a successful rose garden. It’s also important to know when to prune, fertilize and weed your roses.

Roses are the most popular garden plant.

Roses are the most popular garden plant. They are easy to grow, beautiful and fragrant, making them a great gift for any occasion. They come in many varieties ranging from the classic red rose to the exotic pink or yellow bloom of a David Austin English Rose.

There are hundreds of different types of Rosa species which include hybrid teas, grandiflora’s miniatures shrub roses and climbers (trellises). Most roses have five petals but some have up to seven or nine petals per flower head with varying colours including white shades such as ‘Baroness Rothschild’, deep purple hues like ‘Black Beauty’ plus many shades between these two extremes such as orange-reds like ‘Scented Cloud’.

Choosing a site for your rose garden

The location of your rose garden is very important. The following are some things to consider when choosing a site:

  • It should be sunny, with plenty of direct sunlight throughout the day.
  • The area should be sheltered from wind and rain, but not so sheltered that it gets no air movement at all.
  • You’ll want to avoid frost pockets and other areas where temperatures drop below freezing in wintertime (the soil should be above 40 degrees Fahrenheit).

Preparing the soil

Preparing the soil is one of the most important steps in growing roses. You should prepare your soil in the fall, so it has time to settle and become more fertile before spring arrives.

In order to make sure that your plants are fully nourished, mix compost into your existing soil or purchase a …

How to Take Care of a Tall, Thin Wine Rack in Your Home

- by Rebecca Egan

Wine racks are a great, space-saving way to store your wine, especially in smaller homes with limited space. Wine racks can be mounted almost anywhere, and there are multitudes of designs and materials. Winecoolershop.co.uk is a starting point to find what would work for your cherished wine collection. Wine racks can hold as many or as few bottles as you like. Maybe your home doesn’t have a cellar-sized space, and a tall thin wine rack is more appropriate.  Picking the best design for your needs, using your rack correctly, and caring for it ensures you enjoy your wine collection.

Choosing a Wine Rack

There are so many size options that it comes down to the number of bottles and where you can place your rack. A large blank wall will look fantastic with a wooden structure filled with gleaming bottles in front. An awkward corner can evolve into a gorgeous mini-cellar. A hanging wine rack transforms a breakfast counter. These are especially popular as they save space and can even hold wine glasses. Do a little virtual window shopping to find the design you love, and start measuring up. The only caveat here is to be aware of your rack weight. A full rack will be heavy – take the time to ensure it is fully stable and solidly mounted before stocking up. Metal racks are strong, but wooden ones will not damage your bottles. There are a few points to proper wine rack usage.

How to Use a Wine Rack

Wine bottles should be stored lying down. Keep the cork moist to prevent air ingress and potential mould, which is fatal for your wine. Select your rack with horizontal storage for any long-term storage. If you only intend to hold the wine short-term, a vertical or tilted rack will …
