I keep hearing that roses can grow in heavy clay soil from doing some research on-line, but I'm skeptical. Here is what I have:

Soil - Clay
Moisture - Moist
Ph - 6.7 - 7.0
Zone - 8
Drainage - Poor to Fair

Plant success in current soil - Daylilies, Peonies, and Asters
Plant failures - Texas Sage

Is it possible to grow roses in clay? I am not too sold on ammending my soil because I have established plants in my garden now and I don't want to upset their balance by dig a giant hole to ammend soil.

THe location is sunny and warm and gets full sun 75% of the day.

I want to plant some ground cover roses....but it seems I can't find any around. Went to Navalet's in Fremont and of course Lowe's and Home Depot, but none really to be found? Should they not be planted at this time?

I have a small patch of dirt in front of my home and whenever my husband and I plant anything there it dies. We are starting to think we have black thumbs. We buy the plants that say they are good for full sun but it gets very hot here in the summer. Way over 100 degrees. We have changed the dirt and mulch we use and have tried almost everything. Could anyone let me know of some plant species that would work and look attractive? Or if there might be a problem we are overlooking.
Thanks!

I've decided to take up gardening in our new home and would like to spruce up the curb appeal. What kinds of plants should I incorporate into my New England garden that would withstand the climate? I would also like input on a pretty flowering bush that would be relatively low-maintenance. (I'm fine with trimming, but prefer a bush that doesn't need constant trimming!) Also I would appreciate input on a bush/tree that might work well for privacy? Our yard is not very private, and I would prefer plants instead of a fence for privacy.

Right now, I have one lilac bush and a few daffodils, however I'm trying to get rid of the daffodils (I have infant triplets and two dogs who are in the yard often, and I'm afraid they will injest them - the triplets may come in contact with them as they get older). Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

My gardener sprayed my lawn and instead of killing the weeds he killed the grass! Without rototilling the entire lot will seeds alone be enough, with lots of water?

Someone tells me I need to pull the suckulants off my tomato plants and transplant them or they will kill the tomato plant? I dont understand....she says there is little offshoots that stick out from between the limbs and will make new toamto plants. Is there such a thing that is called suckulants or sucker leaves that you must pick off or they will suck the life outta your tomato plant?

How often should lime be spreaded out on lawns?

I put some out about four weeks ago, at the same time that I started my spring overseeding. And everthing is great, except for the fact that I have mushrooms popping up every where. I've already gotten the answer to that question, from a previously asked question. And so I decided to give my yard a good raking and a nice clean cut. Now, I'm thinking about putting some more lime down, in order to balance out any potential rot in the soil. But since I've already put some down, four weeks ago; I'm wondering am I doing too much.

How do I get rid of whatever bug is making tracks on the leaves of my Tomato plants. It looks like a very thin film of little light colored trails I thought at first it was just water stains but it appears to be trials like would be left by an insect of some kind with dirty feet. What is making these tracks on my leaves and do I need to get rid of and if so what insecticide or organic remedy will work? Should I put Dawn dish detergent on the leaves of my Tomato plants?
