ROBINA pseudoacacia ‘Purple Robe’ $137.00 40’ x 25’ z3 Purple Robe Locust
Compact, rounded shape with purple-tinted new foliage changing to bronze-green. Very attractive dark purple. sweetly scented pendulous flower clusters in spring . A tough, fast-growing tree that adapts well to difficult sites, including street planting or poor dry soils. Thrives in a moderately fertile, well-drained soil. Highly recommended. We planted one in a fairly nasty, windy site a few years ago and its growth habit has been vigorous. It has also flowered beautifully every spring despite several bone chilling winters in the first years of its growth here. (10-gal) Photo: Source
DAVID AUSTIN ENGLISH ROSES
Ideal for Canadian gardens: reliable, winter-hardy and easy to grow, they are also multiple international award winners for fragrance, repeat flowering, disease resistance and garden vigour. All of our David Austin’s are “own root” - which means they are not grafted onto other root stock and are best suited to cold, northern gardens. The diverse character, quality and strength of each rose’s scent is a David Austin obsession. Fragrance is intensified by warm, humid weather, with a flower smelling different in the morning, at midday and in the evening. One tip to learn to explore rose scents is to compare two roses side by side to highlight differences and similarities. To achieve good rose garden results, follow these few basic pointers:
Planting Time: Containerized roses can be planted spring through fall, with extra attention to watering in hot spells, until the plants are established. Planting Position: Select a site with at least four hours of sun daily, with shade from the hottest afternoon sun. Give roses room: they will not flourish where the roots compete with other plants, especially trees and shrubs. In groups of one variety, plant about 2ft apart within the group and about 4ft apart between roses of different varieties. Soil: Roses appreciate good soil preparation: add well-rotted manure or compost before planting, and again each spring. Planting: Soak the potted rose for 30 mins or so and allow to drain for an hour or two. When planting, the base of the stems should be about 3” below ground level in our area. Water generously until the plant is well- established. Occasional deep watering in future summers will encourage strong growth and more flowers. Pruning: Prune when spring growth is just starting: when the buds begin to swell. On all plants, remove weak, old and woody and dead and diseased stems. • Shrub Roses - prune back by 1/3 to 2/3 depending on the height desired that year. Each year remove some of the older stems to encourage new growth. • Climbers - Previous year’s flowering stems should be reduced to about 6" and the strong new stems, loosely tied together to provide support. Cut out older stems as necessary. Dead heading: The removal of spent flowers encourages repeat flowering. Either remove just the dead flower or cut the stems down to the first full leaf.
