Re: Color change in Roses - is it PH sensitive

by "Martin H. Eastburn" <lionslair@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Jun 16, 2008 at 09:04 PM

Sounds logical - temp.   We have two "Ebb Tide" and both are in that mode.
The mix is not exactly the same.  Size of hole and the amount of the local
clay.  Therefore the PH is slightly different between the two based on
that.

I'll monitor it from time to time.  Might take fall to fall before change
can be seen.
