Hot Cocoa Floribunda

July 28th, 2010 |

Author: Joanne

The last rose planted this season. The new bed is 3 by 4 ft. Only two ‘Kogesha’ ensata irises will share this bed. To prepare the bed, I dug up 10 inches of soil. Removed roots and large stones and before replacing it, amended heavily with compost. I also added lime, bone meal and alfalfa meal and a small amount of Epsom salt. The ground in this part of my land is mostly sand. A mulch of shredded leaves will protect the base from the baking sun.
