@@Oleandra-13 when you repotted did you gently loosen the rootball? Rootbound plants often fail to thrive because they shed water. You"ve done everything right so give it time. They are slow growers at first, especially after recovering from a trauma. Look for signs of new leaves in early spring. Good luck!

@SuzyDinglesGarden out of doubt in my own ability, I actually took it to the local garden shop and got it repotted in actual camellia acidic soil. Since it was (fortunately?) under watered versus over, the roots were not rotten and happy to loosen up a little. It's now comfy in an appropriately sized pot on my balcony, enjoying the temperate fall here in SC.

@@Oleandra-13 fabulous!

@@santhistrada9543 do you live in a warm area? If so, have you ever tried chilling the bulbs (potted up) in the refrigerator?

@@santhistrada9543 glad you asked. As far as I know, all rose petals are edible, but make sure they've been raised without toxic chemicals, both sprays and soil additives. Be careful with rose hips and read up on them before consuming because not all parts are edible.

@@hollyjones9264 hi Holly. They can spread but they play nice with other plants.

@@mjbwords Good question because common names can be confusing. Bindweed usually refers to a different plant, a morning glory, which is very invasive.

@@menglouie2427 Never seen one, but maybe they're hiding really well! In our area we have only garter snakes.

@@atfundramccoy8999 really likely!

@@atfundramccoy8999 good point. It can take a while for plants (and gardener) to adjust.

@@paulpayne7449 not sure what you mean...

You can make jelly from them but I'm pretty sure it takes a ton of sugar compared to most jellies due to low sugar content. The jelly is worth the effort.... the goal when making it is clarity, so use cheese cloth or something to pour the jelly liquid thru. It should be a clear red jelly.

@@shilhann most are tart and used for jam, syrup, or baked goods. I've eaten mine fresh and they're a little mealy and tart. Just don't eat the core or seeds due to toxic cyanide.

@@cathys949 I hardly ever see them too.

@@TaLeng2023 it's thought of as less fragrant but mine are pretty potent.

@@Parsellsp2 I've been battling some clover myself. Here is my current strategy. Remove any tiny seedlings when first noticed. Pluck any seed heads before they spread, even in adjacent areas (I do try to wait until the bees have enjoyed the flowers). Lastly, covering any bare spots with lots (at least an inch) of grit or really tiny pebbles (not gravel with fines, which compact). This mulch will discourage weed seeds from germinating and will also make it easier to pull any weeds that take root in the gravel. The thyme doesn't need a high fertility soil, but you can always put in a small amount of compost into the gravel if needed. The mulch just needs to be loose enough so the clover roots pull out more easily.

@@subithnair186 It was about 5 years old and was 1 foot tall when planted. Thanks for the sweet comment.

@@WowCreativeUsername welcome to the temperate rainforest in the Pacific Northwest 🌲🌧 the land of mold and mildew!

@@TallulahBelle3276 you are so sweet 🙏

@@chshet wow!

The chinese variety (Camellia sinensis var. sinensis) is hardy to usda zone 6 so it might be worth experimenting, depending on your specific microclimate. If you do, I like your idea of providing natural protection from wind and ice. Just make sure it gets enough water if there's root competition from evergreens. Mine is thriving under the treeline of a big fir tree. Happy gardening!

@@SuzyDinglesGarden thank you so much 😊 I plan to use hanging from basket some upper cover, have it by the house and have slow clumping bamboo by it.

Good question. I believe that Sassafras berries are toxic to humans.

Prune thyme right after it blooms or in early spring after danger of frost has passed. You can also havest anytime, but a full shearing should be done when it's still actively growing, rather than in winter. Hope this helps!

Are they in the ground or a pot? How old are they? Do they show any sign of new growth, such as small bright green leaves? Let's start there.

Try calling the Antique Rose Emporium in Brenham Tx. They might also have cultivars better suited to the Dallas area. Also, make sure they aren't invasive in your county. Happy gardening!

Before I answer, remember that some roses are patented and therefore definately should not be propagated without permission. That said, the easiest roses to propagate are those grown on their "own root" instead of bring grafted. Many old garden varieties are "own root" roses. Follow general directions for stem cuttings. Also check out air-layering process. Good luck!

Yes, I think it was July. I usually distribute when the seeds pods naturally begin to release the seeds.
