Try make your own Poem and make it good.
I made this one today:
Roses are red
Violets are blue
Skrillex drops the bass
Like I drop you!

Roses are red,
Daisies are white.
Your lips are so soft,
and your eyes, what a sight!

I want to deepen my knowledge of that period of history, so I’m looking for a book that covers the period of just before the War of the Roses to maybe after Henry the VIII, or preferably after the end of the reign of Elizabeth I.

What is, in your opinion, the best book (a single book please) that covers it?

The Oxford History of England; Volume VI the Fifteenth Century 1399-1485 – E F Jacob…and Volume VII the Early Tudors 1485-1558 – J D Mackie.

Okay, here are my favorites that I know:

Roses are red, violets are blue, but if God made us all beautiful, what happened to you?

Roses are red, violets are blue, if your parents say you’re beautiful, they’re lying to you…

Not very good, but I’m sure you guys have better ones. What are the best you know?

Roses are red leaves are green I love your legs and what’s in between. lol

I have inherited rose buses in my new garden but have no idea when to prune them or how low to cut.
There is a big unruly buddleia too – I would like to trim it but don’t want to stop it flowering next year.

Rose pruning is one of those garden tasks where timing is important. It is best to wait until frosts are over, but it is best to start before new growth commences. Pruning tends to stimulate new growth, this is why we need to time things correctly. Prune too early and new growth may be damaged by frosts, prune too late and you will be cutting of the first flush of new growth and also the first flush of flowers. So mid winter (mid February) to late winter (mid March) in the UK depending on the weather, earlier in the south than the north.

Why Prune Roses?
Roses will keep growing (and flowering) if they are not pruned, so why prune Roses? Unpruned roses will not flower as mush as pruned roses. Unpruned roses tend to lose shape and become a little untidy.

How do you prune a Rose?
The essential tool is a pair of good quality, clean sharp secateures, a good pruning saw or pair of loppers is also advisable.
Why clean? to prevent disease.
Why sharp? So that cuts are clean
Why good quality? A good quality pair of secateures will be easier to keep sharp and will last a lot longer than a cheap pair.
How much should you cut back a rose.
In general start by cutting back by about 1/3 from the top of the bush.
Remove any suckers from below the graft.
Remove any dead or really old wood.
You should aim to create a frame of 4 – 5
main branches.
Shape the rose by cutting back to 4-5 mm above an outward facing bud, with the cut sloping away from the bud. Prune so that the rose is open in the centre to allow light and air.

How to prune, and when to prune Buddleia davidii Butterfly bush

This group of shrubs flower on new growth made in the current year, so it is to your advantage to prune the shrub well to produce many flowering shoots.

The pruning should take place early in the spring – before growth starts proper. Prune the Buddleia down to around 30cm (12 in) from ground level at this time. There may already be sprouting shoots on the Buddleia in a mild spring. No matter – Prune it back hard. This will make the Butterfly Bush grow many new arching branches, that will have larger flowers than if it had not been pruned.

As well as this hard prune in the spring, it is also beneficial to prune off all the dead and faded flowers once the main flowering season is over. This will be of benefit to the plant – not having to produce seeds on the old Flowers – and it will bloom again later on. Take off all of the dead flowers regularly, and your Buddleia will flower until well into the autumn.

Once you have finished pruning your Buddleia, you should end up with a cluster of stems no longer than 30cms.

For Buddleia bushes at the back of a large border, you can perhaps just cut back to around 60cm each year. This will have the advantage of the flowering stems starting higher up and you will be able to plant other shrubs and perennials under or near to the base. The arching stems of the butterfly bush will then be seen higher up at the back of the border.

help on where to find the best fresh Roses in the columbus ohio area. please do help

Cut roses? At a florist. They all order from the same growers this time of year, so you just pick out the freshest at each shop. Depend who got a shipment most recently. Call and ask when they last received a rose shipment.

Live rose plants? Oakland Nursery. They’ll have over 200 hundred varieties to choose from, starting sometime in March.

I wanted to know what is the best store bought frosting that i can use to make Roses with….or a recipe to make my own.

You can get decorator’s frosting at places like Michaels or another craft store in their baking section. If you are wanting something from the grocery store use plain white frosting… not vanilla. It has the sturdiest texture of all the frosting commercially available. I know from experience.

my bf asked me to send him two cds one with guns and roses music and the other with metallica music.i dont listen to that kind of music so i have no idea what songs to use.i can fit 17 songs per cd so if you can give me a bunch of songs i would appreciate it.i asked him what songs he wanted and he said he doesnt care as long as its from those two bands. thanks for your help!

For Guns & Roses, you Gotta have; Sweet Child O Mine, Welcome to the Jungle, November Rain, Mr. Brownstone, Paradise City, and Patience. With Metallica try One, Enter Sandman, Seek and Destroy, Master of Puppets, Nothing Else Matters, Fade to Black and The Unforgiven. I hope this helps you somewhat. Good luck

I’m traveling 12 hours by bus overnight and would like to be able to sleep some if possible. Grandma will be picking me up and I want to have the Roses with me when I meet up with her. I can take a vase if I have to, but would prefer a different method, so that I don’t have to hold it up for 12 hours.

Saturate a few paper towels with water and put them in a gallon-size zip-loc bag. Put the rose stems in the zip-loc bag and zip it shut as much as possible. You can add some water halfway through your trip, but it won’t spill because of the paper towels.

Bon Voyage!

I would like one where I can hook my hose to. I’m having problems with my Roses, lilacs and other bushes.

Rose Pride By Ortho

I have gotten Roses several times from my husband, but I always seem to kill them within the first few days. I have cut the ends under water and pulled off the excess leaves, but they still seem to die. Any other suggestions?

hello Julie, you know this subject came up at our dinning table today , My niece had just made a comment on how nice my roses where , and how long they had lasted 2 week´s . A gift from my 14 yr old son. How do you keep them so long ? she asked Change the water every 2 day´s .and add a half of an aspirin and sometime´s a little tonic water , they seem to like it . She said that she had just been to a florist to buy flower´s for her mother ,& the lady said if you add a spot of bleach to the water it stop´s the stalks from going Green . so I will try that one as well . True what they say ,you learn something new every day
