These are the horticultural basics: words we use all the time in growing plants. In this video, I'll go through a few of the most common words in the horticultural vocabulary.

Growing roses from cuttings is a great way to multiply plants (for free, if you don't count your own efforts in the cost!). In this video, I'll give you an overview of 3 kinds of rose stem cuttings, as well as three other common methods of rose propagation: layering, grafting and suckering.
I have some older videos that go into some of the methods in detail:

Black is the color of dead tissue on plants - so the fact that the stems of my roses have turned black is not good news. There's also a lot of reasons is could happen, some more concerning that others. In this case I'm seeing: whole stems from the tips to near the base uniformly turning black. I also know that we had a cold stretch that was more severe than normal for our climate. The damage is more severe on tender Hybrid Teas than on the hardier old garden roses. All of this taken together allows me to conclude that it's simply cold damage, and not some disease or root rot issue. In this video we'll look at some examples, and I'll also discuss some of the early steps in pruning and maintaining roses after the winter.

This is how I decide which plants to sell in my small nursery business. The goal is to stay out of direct competition with the mass market plant retailers. That way I can charge a little more for "hard-to-find" plants, and my customers get the benefit of shopping a more interesting assortment than the "usual suspects" at the garden center. It's probably a little more than you need to know about the way my mind works, but no apologies on my part: you can always skip forward in the video. To go straight to my planning spreadsheet, you can nudge ahead to around 9:15.

If your rose petals are blemished with little pink "water dots", it's likely that botrytis cinerea (fungus) is the culprit. Don't panic - although it's a widespread rot organism, it usually doesn't do much more than cause some unsightly marks or balling of rose flowers. This is far more common in cooler, wet weather or where overhead irrigation is in use.

Pruning roses doesn't have to be complicated. In this video I'll prune two example roses, one of them fairly overgrown. I generally start from the base of the rose, thinning out old and congested growth first. When I have a well-spaced framework down low, I can then choose a manageable height and a pleasing shape.

Here's a video discussing the best plants to help support bees in the garden and environment. I give some of my favorites - long lasting flower, loads of nectar and pollen, and bees love them! For an alternate point of view, I visit Josh Thompson at Plan Bee Native Plants. He discusses the special requirements of native specialist bees, and recommends native plants as an alternative or in addition to the more "worldly" cultivars you often find in garden centers. Thanks Josh for the tour and your insights!
