I'm thinking of getting "Ma Perkins" . Any experience, particularly in the South?
Also an update some roses I repotted while visiting my new granddaughter in California. Two were struggling and one I recommended for the compost heap.
They wanted me to try so I repotted with fresh soil in a slightly larger pot ( they are renters) and moved to more sun. Boy the sun is intense in California even if the temps are mild. I got them a moisture meter and we've determined they will need water every 2 days or so. They do have some individual drip heads they could add if they want. Already the one I wanted to toss has started to send leaves out. They are thrilled so I guess my stay was a success.
