11 Expert Tips for Growing the Biggest, Most Beautiful Roses

If you’re a rose enthusiast, you know the satisfaction that comes with seeing your roses bloom to their fullest potential. But growing large and beautiful roses takes a little effort and care. With the right knowledge and techniques, you can grow the most beautiful roses in your garden. In this article, we’ll discuss 11 tips to help you grow the biggest, most beautiful roses possible.

  1. Choose the right location. The first step to growing large, beautiful roses is choosing the right location. Roses need plenty of sun to grow, so choose a location that receives at least six hours of direct sunlight each day. Additionally, make sure the location has well-draining soil and good air circulation.
  2. Plant at the right time. The best time to plant roses is in early spring, after the last frost. This gives the roses plenty of time to get established before the hot summer months.
  3. Prepare the ground. Roses thrive in soil rich in organic matter. Before planting, add compost or aged manure to the soil to improve its fertility. Additionally, make sure the soil pH is between 6.0 and 6.5.
  4. Choose the right varieties. Not all rose varieties are equal in size and beauty. Look for varieties known for producing large flowers, such as hybrid tea roses, grandiflora roses and floribunda roses.
  5. Provide sufficient water. Roses need a lot of water to grow and produce large flowers. Water thoroughly and regularly, making sure the soil stays moist but not waterlogged.
  6. Fertilize regularly. In addition to adding organic matter to the soil, it is important to fertilize rose bushes regularly. Use a balanced fertilizer that contains equal amounts of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. Apply fertilizer every four to six weeks during the growing season.
  7. Prune correctly. Pruning is essential to keeping roses healthy and producing large flowers. Prune in early spring before new growth begins and throughout the growing season to remove spent flowers and encourage new growth.
  8. Pest and disease control. Pests and diseases can quickly damage rose bushes and reduce the size and beauty of their flowers. Use organic pest and disease control methods, such as spraying with neem oil or using companion plants.
  9. Provide support. As rose bushes grow and produce large flowers, they may become heavy and need support. Use stakes or trellises to provide support and prevent plants from falling over.
  10. Mulch. Mulching around the base of the rose bush can help retain moisture in the soil and suppress weeds. Use an organic mulch, such as shredded leaves or bark, and apply a layer two to three inches thick.
  11. Enjoy and enjoy. Your Roses Finally, the most important tip for growing large, beautiful roses is to appreciate and enjoy them. Take the time to smell their sweet scent and admire their beauty. With the right care and attention, your roses will continue to bloom and bring joy for years to come.

In conclusion, growing large, beautiful roses requires a combination of proper care, attention and knowledge. By following the 11 tips covered in this article, you can create a beautiful rose garden that will be the envy of all your neighbors. Remember to choose the right location, plant at the right time, prepare the soil, choose the right varieties, provide sufficient water, fertilize regularly, prune properly, control pests and diseases, to provide support, to mulch and, above all, to enjoy and appreciate your roses. Happy growing!

IMPOSSIBLE COCONUT CUSTARD PIE

Some of the recipe reviews:
I chose this recipe because one reviewer had said it was very “custardy”…we LOVE custard!! We LOVED this recipe…I can’t wait to make it again…and again. I screwed it up and added the coconut to the blender…oops…so I also added more coconut to the top…it was fantastic!! Wonderful custard like “pie” that tastes like a macaroon!

I had to bake mine a little longer than the recipe calls for. About 10 extra minutes. Easy to make!!

I found this same recipe in an old cookbook I bought at a garage sale, titled, You’ve Got to Be Kidding! It also features other delectable delights such as Earthworm Cookies. This pie is absolutely delicious and amazing because it makes its own separate crust, filling and topping; all out of the blender! My recipe instructs to blend as you count slowly to 10, and it instructs to put the coconut in the blender with the other ingredients. As such, it provides a nice buttery topping for the pie. It also fools skeptics of the pie who think they don’t like coconut. This is a definite keeper in our house. If you love custard, you’ll love this pie. Incidentally, I do not try the Earthworm Cookie recipe!
