92870Q.Colors of iceberg roses
I find 2 pink iceberg roses. One is "Blushing Pink Iceberg Winter Rose" and the other is a "Floribunda Rose Pink Iceberg." Are these two roses the same?

February 6, 2019A.No, these are separate hybrids. The Blushing Pink is whiter than the other with hints of pink rather than being full-blown pink. Brilliant Pink is darker pink and petals are more consistently pink. They are both floribundas and developed by the same breeder.

74429Q.Spotlighting flower beds at night
Does spotlighting flower beds, especially roses, harm the plants? It seems that plants would need the no light period to rest. Please advise.

How many seeds to you typically put in each hole?

February 19, 2019A.Rose seeds need to go through a process called cold moist stratification to break inherent dormancy. If you have already done this, how you plant is a personal decision. Only 20-30% of rose seeds go on to germinate. Sowing them in a flat instead of individual containers takes up less room. The downside is that seeds need to be transplanted into their own container once they germinate. Here is an article that explains growing roses from seed: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/roses/growing-roses-from-seed.htm

February 19, 2019A.Annual pruning of roses is done in early spring just before leaves appear. (leaf buds visibly swell) There are videos on pruning fruit trees and roses. It's a good idea to review several as I've seen videos that were sketchy in the advice given. The links below are to articles on rose pruning and cherry trees. It helps to know what type of rose and cherry that you have. Write back if you have more questions. https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/cherry/cherry-tree-pruning.htm

February 22, 2019Q.Growing roses from a stem
I'm doing the potatoes method from my rose Bush for my sister. Do I remove the flower too, or just lower leaves?

February 23, 2019A.Remove the flower. The rootless cutting can not sustain it and it puts added strain on the cutting. You want it to focus solely on roots.

March 1, 2019Q.Starting roses from cuttings
A bouquet of roses has begun to grow leaves along the stem. It's winter in Michigan, but they are in water right now, and I've removed the dead heads. Is it possible to treat with root hormone and plant in pots until weather allows for the plants to moved into my garden. Not sure of the variety, but they were labeled "garden roses."

March 1, 2019A.It is sure with a try. Recut the end at an angle and follow the standard procedure for propagating from cuttings. (article at link) The cutting should be about 6 inches long with only one pair of leaves. More than that is not sustainable without roots. Bright light is also critical for your rose between now and when you can plant it outside. Roses can tolerate light frost but I would wait until Mother's Day or your frost free date to put a baby plant outside. Be sure to harden it off well.
