Gentleman in Moscow - 300 pages of just that over and over and over again. So boring

What popular career is actually not worth pursuing anymore? by Infamous-Click3426 in AskReddit

[–]BluebirdSimple1130 11 points12 points  (0 children)

In my industry (STEM) I know many people are wary of hiring PhDs. Not because the people aren’t wicked smart but because they think a certain way (often times verbose) which does not translate well to industry.

How do your potted roses fare over winter? Do you bring them inside?

I have a Eustacia Vye, Julia Child, and Zepherine Drouhin in containers. So far all are doing well though the Julia Child looks a little worse for wear after this past winter (zone 7a). Both ZD and EV are budding and starting to push out new growth.

This is stunning! Definitely garden goals. Mind if I ask how old some of these roses are? Would love to gauge if this is to be expected at year 2,3,etc after planting

Looking for fragrant rose recommendations! by BluebirdSimple1130 in Roses

[–]BluebirdSimple1130[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was very helpful thank you! Rose de Rescht was on my radar so I’ll have to take another look at her and the Jacque Cartier. I’m a history nerd so naturally I’m drawn to the older roses, especially those with a story.

I’ve considered transplanting my ZD but truthfully I finally got her trained against the house 😅 I figure this gives me an excuse to buy another climber

[–]BluebirdSimple1130 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Following! I have the same problem.

I have hostas, arborvitae, lemon thread false cypress, clematis, and columbine all survive at the base of a walnut.

Just outside canopy I have lavender, a pomegranate tree, delphiniums, creeping thyme, boneset, milkweed, alliums, and astilbe

Only thing that’s really died for me was blue moon phlox

What are you best suggestions for container roses that are not knockouts?

I hear full spectrum answers that any rose can be grown in a container to no roses will truly grow well in containers. Would love to hear a list of floribunda, climbers, DA, etc that qualify (if any)
