This year after planting my pink rose bush in the ground I had 19 roses the first time around of blooming. Then just recently it began to bloom again. I noticed that one of the flowers was white; while the others are pink in color. I was just wondering what could have make it do that?

1st image take two day before the pink one bloomed:

I used to have a nice green thick yard and then one morning I saw some yellow patches and noticed that It was red thread. I was mowing the grass at 3 inches, Watering only twice per week in early morning (5 AM). The grass gets fertilized 5 times per year by a professional company. Everything was fine until we got 3 straight days of rain with little to no sun. My question is, Will Scotts fungicide effectivly remove the red thread from my yard? I have no kids, no pets and I am not worried about any potential hazards from the fungicide.

( I live in upstate New York)

I sprinkled baking soda then poured vinegar ontop of dandelions. They reacated and formed a fuzzy foam ball. The next day I looked at the spot where my experiment took place. There was NOTHING there but barren land - no grass and no dandelions. Should I continue using vinegar + baking soda as a weed killer?

Question:

Is it safe for the enviorment?
Are there any hazards for humans?

I know it has something to do with the lighting but I want it to be easy. Since there are five I would like three to be straight and two to spiral around two straight ones. However, it's fine if they all spiral.

it has a red stock with broad leafs comming off every 6 in or so. there are deep red marks on the leaf. The lady that sold it to me thinks it's some form of a banana plant but wasn't sure and wasn't sure how to care for it. I would post a pic but my camera is broken. it stands about 3 feet now and she said she heard they can grow as tall as 12 feet.

I live in Charleston, SC, and it is hot and humid here all the damn time. My patio gets direct sun for most of the day, but it is still always damp. The flies and mosquitoes love it. I don't want to buy a nasty bugzapping lamp, burn a bunch of citronella candles, or spray pesticides which may make my dogs sick. Are there natural ways (maybe certain plants or types of mulch or ground cover) which will keep these bugs away from the patio?

Hello garnders...
I recently acquired a Floribunda Rose and have recently repotted it using the soil recommended by the nursery.
It is watered thoroughly in the mornings and receives full sunlight. My concern is that the leaves are turning a pale green. Is this a sign of poor health, and if so, how can I help this beautiful Rose?

Something that will stay green --> 365 <-- days a year, cold winters, hot summers? Something that blooms is a plus. I'm looking to replace ALL the grass in my front yard with something that won't require mowing, since my front yard is on a SLOPE. Half the yard has full sun, half has partial shade. ZONE 6.

All (serious) suggestions welcome. Most knowledgeable plant person gets best answer and my eternal gratitude.

I have read in several places not to plant trees close to a septic field bed as roots can damage the pipes. My bed is raised by several feet and there are a few apple trees beside it that are full grown and were there long before the field bed was built should I worry about this. My septic guy didn't seem concerned at all. Also my husband wants to put some of our wood for heating on the field bed but I think this is a bad idea as the weight could compact the soil and damage pipes. Am I right?

I need to redo a small garden area, triangular-shaped, that is very high profile as it is located on my property at a 4-way stop. Right now it is full of morning glory that is impossible(?) to get rid of so I may have to even use ground sterilizer. What creative ideas do you have for this space? I have a few ideas, but it is always fun to see what ideas others might have. Thank you in advance for your input.
