you didn't talked about what it can be done with roses, I mean the majority of them are edible and very good for consuming and even if they are not good for eating it can be done so much out of them , I think this is an important part for a good homestead to know that flowers are not just for aesthetic and pollinators
I have the little tiny Rose's, the white one's & the little tiny pink one's. I didn't start THEM they was growing when we moved here. Im not sure how to manage THESE... The white ones are climbing in this huge crab apple tree. My Elle-May, love to nibble one THEM, Elle-May is my puppa goat.
Another tip, this one from a rose supplier of four generations. When cutting off flowers, always cut above a stem that has five leaves. This will ensure more flowers will grow back from that cutoff section.
Kinda the same here. I started with fruits trees and then i wanted flowers to attract pollinators. Then i got into roses and now finally im getting into house plants.
Roses bloom nonstop for months, pollenators love them, they have incredible colors and scents, huge flowers, the rose petals and hips are edible and roses will survive drought and create habitat for animals. They are the queens of the garden for a reason.
My grandma died shortly after i was born and she loved roses, she had rose bushes next to our garage that eventually just ended up dieing without her care. I definitely want to add some roses to my garden and hopefully can honor her in some way. I love how gardening can help us connect to the earth and people at the same time. For me anyways 😅
My grandma had rose bushes spaced along the brick fence that circled their front yard. She passed away in 2009. At my family home we had 4 rose bushes, two red, one yellow and one white. We would get beautiful blends of red in the white and yellow roses. I just got a "Blue Girl" rose bush from Tractor Supply and came here for how to properly care for the new rose bush.
I’m glad I found this video. I’m a 26-year-old guy and I am fixated on growing roses. I dropped my friend off at her house a couple times last week and she gave me a rose twice, but I feel bad because both of them died within a day. Therefore I need to grow my own so I can pay her back lol
YES! I got some sickly discount roses from Walmart last year on a whim. I planted them with lots of enriched soil and they just started sending new shoots now. I'm gonna rock the curb appeal with my $5 rose bush.
I had a rose growing in hydroton in a DWC bucket, and I thought it was dead, so I stopped watering it for 6 months, but then it rained and it got some water and it somehow came to life again. Amazing! I've only ever seen trees do that before.
They LOVE being pruned. My Mom taught me that; last year they were kinda spindly-I got these first ones from WinnDixie (a grocery store chain here in FL & SE), but I started pruning & babied them over the Winter-they seem to like cooler weather too. Now they are blooming & healthy & gorgeous. Now thanks to Kev & Epic Gardening I have a rose addiction after visiting Heirloom Roses! I got 4 of them… THEN, Ollies (a discount store like Big Lots) has root starts for $8 & I bought even more for my best friend! Roses are goddesses & deserve to be treated as such! 🌹
Love this, after somewhat avoiding roses in my garden last year I got my first in memory of my Mother in law who left us too soon, Sheilas Perfume, this year I have 5 more in the garden. I diunno why it took me so long to get roses, I learnt so much about them from my dad who is a Rose boss. Long live the rose!
I love roses. Got into the hobby about two years ago and I am addicted. My favorite thing about roses is you dead head them and they keep coming back with new flowers every month.
Great video, but I have a tip for you. I know the Fragrant Cloud is a nice smelling rose, but by far, the strongest, most fragrant, sweet smelling rose is the McCartney rose. It's large pink blooms are beautiful too. So strong, you can smell them 8 feet away. No bs.
I started buying from Heirloom Roses about 3 years ago. I now have 5 roses. It’s so addicting. Have a long wish,it’s and not that much property 😂 They’re so classic and beautiful. I have to have the “highly scented” type, climbing and one bush.
I had a Lincoln Rose that was medium high, but had 6" blossoms and so rich in smell that you could not bring it into the house or is would overwhelm and make you sick. Rich blackish red flower: it just stud out in the whole bed of roses.
Hi Kevin.Thanks for the brief history of the rose. I've tried growing rose plants from seeds and I've gotten two out of about 25 seeds. I am still going to sow some seeds this year. Your rose plants are absolutely gorgeous. Much love from Trinidad.⚘
In our childhood home, my twin sister had an amazing "Cécile Brünner" rose growing; my favourite rose that I haven't seen in nearly 50 years since. That you have one... kudos to you
Roses are awesome! I live in zone 4b, high winds, clay soil and a salty well. Rose family plants are some of the only plants that handle my conditions. Own root roses all the way!
I've been growing roses for about 20 years. The most colorful variety is Rio Samba. The blooms are different colors at different stages of their life, so it looks like you have 3 roses in one plant.
hi, i was just wondering if you could give me some advice! I recently propagated a rose which has a lot of meaning to me and I managed to get roots on it. I've potted it but now it's stem is starting to turn yellow and then brown. I've looked online but I can't seem to figure out why this could be happening, and I've sprayed it with fungicide in case that is the problem. I'm thinking of checking that its roots are still healthy and maybe repotting it... any thoughts? Thank you very much for any advice you could give !
I thought the same thing gotta have some serious gardening skills. I love roses just thought they were difficult to maintain. Then we moved and the house had roses and said I am going to give it a go thanks ☺️
I have a few old bourbon and damask climbing roses from Heirloom roses, and they are stunning. We make rose syrup and jelly in the spring, or just fill a jar with petals and water to make rose sun tea. So good!
We bought a house with a ton of double knockout rose bushes. Very pretty, very vibrant pink. It also came with a climbing rose in a deep magenta color.
It's insane how every time I get into a gardening topic. You makes video on it the very next day... I came to LA from NYC yesterday and took cuttings from a beautiful rose and planned on trying to grow them. Never have. And then I was looking to buy climbing rose to make a trellis arch.. and then this video comes out. Amazin
Great down to earth vid. Been gardening since I was 5, following my beloved Gran around. Roses are pretty much indestructible, they started life as bramble bushes, only too much breeding like DA has turned them into temperamental divas. I have a Dublin Bay nearly 30 yrs old bought for a couple of bucks at a garden centre sale, it was neglected in a pot for years when I was a busy working mum and then planted in the ground with erratic care. Still blooms its heart out every year for months and the blooms in a red that never fades last for weeks each. Most roses are killed in home gardens with too much fussing. Look forward to more. Cheers from Melbourne 💕
Im so happy heirloom roses is the sponsor! All my roses are from them and they all performed amazing their first year (last yar) and are all leafing out already this year.
Very well-done video with one exception. In cold climates, you can bury the graft union 2-3 inches below the soil to protect the grafted portion of the rose. But I much prefer Own Root roses and love Heirloom Roses!
I’m so happy to see you’ve done a rose video. I haven’t had the want to grow any before. But I’m getting some cuttings from my hunny’s grandma’s home. She passed this spring& had lived in her home for over 70 years (since after her honeymoon). She started roses & poppies their first year together. I’m going to try her poppies too…Needless to say, I’m falling in love. So excited to try to keep these babies alive. Thank you for the thorough video. As always! 🌱💚
My mom loves roses and I'm more into fruit plants but I wanted to learn more about roses because I'm going to be pruning them next year. This'll help a lot. Thanks.
I have some kind of rose bushes in my front garden bed that the previous owner planted. I love them but they are getting super tall! My lilac is blooming right now and it is heavenly! I am planning to have the fam put together my greenstalks this weekend. We are doing one with strawberries and one with herbs, lettuces, beans.
You’ll want to double check your information… floribunda roses can get up to six feet tall and six feet wide. Miniature roses are named miniature for the size of their blossoms and not the actual size of the mature plant.
For eating(Jams, Syrups, tea, etc) or making medicine, I suggest using Old Garden roses. Roses from the Damask class, or Portlands, Gallicas, Bourbons, Centifolia, Alba, and Rugosa
I grew hybrid tea roses for over 50 years and without a doubt they are the most rewarding of flowers but then the most labor intensive. But given that I would if only much younger now still have a garden full of hybrid teas. The climate I live in - middle Georgia - is not at all the best place to grow them - very, very hot weather with a lot of high humidity, bugs and diseases galore, etc. But when I was raising them I would have roses to cut from early May often to Thanksgiving Day when I could cut a bunch and use on my Thanksgiving table. I had to be very very diligent with the care - every week to 10 days, they had to be sprayed for such things as Japanese beetles, black spot, spider mites - you name it, it dined on my roses. And every other week they had to be fertilized. There was no spraying after any 8:30 a.m. time - they had to be sprayed when the temperatures were below 85F, when the sun wasn't shining directly on them. Or else you'd have leaf burn. Each February I would carefully cut them back, remove all the old mulch, give them a hefty dose of fertilizer, remove all old leaves, paint each cut back with clear nail polish hoping to ward off rose borers. There was always plenty of work involved, all had to be watered at the base of each plant - overhead watering could easily bring on black spot. As I said - labor intensive. But as I also said the most rewarding of any flower. When I finally had to remove my last bush given the fact that in my late 80s I could no longer give them the necessary care, I felt as though I was discarding one of my own children. But those 2 dozens rose bushes brought me so much pleasure for so many years. There were some that were like over 35 years old - all had been carefully planted by my late husband and he always did such with the exact precision needed. So if you love flowers, roses are your best bet.
Rose history is fascinating. The Empress Josephine had a famous garden at Malmaison and Napoleon’s generals curried favor by bringing her roses from all over. There are also good stories about a group the Smithsonian dubbed the Texas Rose Rustlers.
As a 1st time gardener, I let my teenager pick a flower. She choose rose, 😅 and I was thinking the exact same thing I'm not a old country grandma who has years of experience😂😂😂 😂 so happy I came across your videos. I've learned so much from all of you guys. ❤❤❤ I GOT THIS!!!
Oh, I learned, that the grafted part of roses definitely needs to be buried under the soil (7:52), otherwise the rose with the roots will keep trying pushing through. So you put that part under the soil (contrary to e.g. grafted fruit trees like apples) and so make sure that the rose which is grafted on flourishes with its unique qualities. See Monty Don from Gardeners’ World.
I've embraced my inner "Rose Granny" Kevin and I am so glad that you have too!! 😂That CB on the moon arch is absolutely beautiful. Thanks for sharing your tips and knowledge.
I was looking at Heirloom Roses a little while back! I'm obsessed with the apricot and yellow colored roses. I want to have three different ones someday: one for color, one for aroma, and one for rosehips
Thank you so much for this video! I planted the Fourth of July climbing rose 5 years ago that looked awful and never bloomed more than a couple flowers. This year it finally grew new canes and is flowering the crazy! Only thing is the flowers aren’t variegated anymore but just a plain red. I was so confused why it changed but it must be the original root stock growing, I didn’t realize roses are grafted! Now it makes sense it’s been boggling my mind, thank you!
Epic Gardening, I greatly appreciate you and your content helping me fulfill my gardening passion. That history in the beginning was genius great addition to your work.
Thank you, I needed some easily understood care information since a loved one passed and had many roses that he took amazing care of, so I really don't want to ruin the roses I'm given. The chapters make this video very useful.
My aunt passed away this April. I would cut roses from her yard so she can smell them and see them. She had lived in that house for about 12 years and the one of the reasons she chose it was the roses in the front yard. Im actually in the process of making some rose petal infused coconut oil to make some solid lotion to give out to her friends. I've changed the flowers out 4 times and it smells divine. And I'm going to preserve some of the blooms in resin as well. I gotta get it done before we sell the place. It wouldn't surprise me if the new owners would tear the roses out
Roses were (and in some modern vineyard's still) used in viticulture as a early warning for various pathogen attacks... thus the vigneron would be able to try various strategies and preventitive measures to try to protect their vines and harvest
own root roses are awesome. I've purchased from heirloom Roses before they have great customer service. tea roses are the fussiest as far as pruning and growing etc, but give you the "florist" rose stems. i have a climber on each side of my windwo, and bush roses UNDER the window... and a rosa rugosa in front of a window for security. note that the rosa rugosa roses are MUCH more shade tolerant
Roses have been the hardest for me when it comes to pests and black spot. Those damn beetles keep devouring them. But I will say my number one recommendation for roses is to find a sunny south facing spot for them. The two I have on the east side of my house struggle but the girls that get that south sun are thriving!! And my mom always told me to make sure you cut above a five leaf branch
It's suggested in northern climates to actually bury the graft point. I'd rather just bury it in leaves come fall. That's extremely important in northern climates because the cold dry winds can zap them
Hey - English grandmother here! That made me laugh and I know what you mean. I've only just started being particularly interested in them and now I'm going to watch all your videos and spam you with loads of questions. 🙂
Very inspiring video, with beautiful roses. Two things though: In cold climates, if you don't bury the graft point, you better mulch it before winter. And the 45 degrees cut is complete and total BS. Just make a straight cut to minimize the wound. The 45 degrees story is a leftover from the 1800s when people used pruning knifes instead of the nice pruners that we have nowadays.
Thanks for creating your easy to follow video! I've never grown roses due to an inordinate amount of deer pressure, But You've sold me on the deer resistant variety!
Appreciate this video. I'm currently trying to find a specific type of rose that was growing in my childhood home for over 50 years (house is sold mom didn't save it) so this will be helpful if I'm ever able to find something similar.
A great video! I love that you embraced roses into your garden and life.🥰 If I may, I'd like to share one small adjustment to the pruning: At 10:18, the angle and height of your cut is good. However, you seem to be cutting in the wrong direction. To ensure water running off away from the new bud and growth, I would recommend cutting with the angle sloping in the complete opposite direction. Thanks for the superb video. It's really lovely to see gardeners over the years sharing their love for roses.
Like you, roses were not something I planned for. There are only a few that appealed to me. However, my favorite color of roses is yellow. I found a climbing yellow rose for a very reasonable price, brought it home, and repotted it as my garden bed wasn't ready. Yellow roses are obviously a favorite of deer as well. The rose "stick" I was left with did not survive. I then found a Joseph's Coat climbing rose at my local feed store and decided to try again. The deer attacked again but before the plant was totally decimated by the invasive wildlife, I found a cheap deer repellent. Tea bags. The ones with strings so you can tie them to the roses. I lay out used tea bags and allow them to dry and then rub in copious amounts of Vicks Vapo-Rub. You may want to use gloves as the smell can be difficult to remove from your hands..Tie some to the most exposed limbs of your rose plant. OK. You don't have to use tea bags. Strips of cloth will do. Green strips of cloth are not so noticeable. I reapply the Vicks every couple of weeks or after a hard rain. My plan for this rose is to use an 8 foot patio umbrella frame as a trellis. I will reinforce the ribs by using 14ga or 12 ga wire to stabilize the ribs and then cover with poultry wire. I found an umbrella frame on Facebook Market Place for about $20. To my delight, when I got it, it was black which was my preference. I think it should also be sturdy enough to support a couple of Hummingbird feeders. The rose will have to be secured to the umbrella post until it reaches the canopy and I will use strips of cloth for this purpose, and hopefully get the rose to wrap around the pole in a spiral pattern. Now if I can find a way to combat the Japanese Beetles without harming the desirable pollinators. Suggestions are welcome.
If you or the rose growers know how to keep Japanese beetles off the roses or know varieties that the J beetles don’t like, I’m all ears! I’m actually removing my rugosa roses this year as the beetles decimate the flowers and leaves every year. I am in southern MN - zone 4B
I soaked banana peels in water for a few days and then mixed it with filtered water and put it on my roses and my God one my roses bushes didn't even bloom last year and it's not only blooming now with the banana water it's got 60 blooms coming !!!
Absolutely stoked on Heirloom Roses and their own-root roses - check them out and tell them Rose Daddy sent you ;) - heirloomroses.com/
Love Heirloom Roses. I just got my delivery from them this week. All climbers and ramblers. Can't wait to see them take off.
you didn't talked about what it can be done with roses, I mean the majority of them are edible and very good for consuming and even if they are not good for eating it can be done so much out of them , I think this is an important part for a good homestead to know that flowers are not just for aesthetic and pollinators

Another tip, this one from a rose supplier of four generations. When cutting off flowers, always cut above a stem that has five leaves. This will ensure more flowers will grow back from that cutoff section.
I never do that and my roses grow back fine!
@@rainesonne1320 I was going to say this. It don’t matter as long as it deadheaded a quarter of an inch above a leaflet.
All I know is that if a rose nursery operator exclusive to roses of four generations tells you a rose cutting tip, I follow it. Do what you want.
@@sohodt1 same here!!
Thank you for that advice
It’s wild how quickly one can go from wanting an orchard to planting and developing a rose garden. Same thing happened to me!
Same!

As a 1st time gardener, I let my teenager pick a flower. She choose rose, 😅 and I was thinking the exact same thing I'm not a old country grandma who has years of experience😂😂😂 😂 so happy I came across your videos. I've learned so much from all of you guys. ❤❤❤ I GOT THIS!!!
You will do great! Happy growing!
Oh, I learned, that the grafted part of roses definitely needs to be buried under the soil (7:52), otherwise the rose with the roots will keep trying pushing through. So you put that part under the soil (contrary to e.g. grafted fruit trees like apples) and so make sure that the rose which is grafted on flourishes with its unique qualities. See Monty Don from Gardeners’ World.
I've embraced my inner "Rose Granny" Kevin and I am so glad that you have too!! 😂That CB on the moon arch is absolutely beautiful. Thanks for sharing your tips and knowledge.
Thank you so much for the brief history of roses & tips for planting them, much appreciated! !
I was looking at Heirloom Roses a little while back! I'm obsessed with the apricot and yellow colored roses. I want to have three different ones someday: one for color, one for aroma, and one for rosehips
Thank you so much for this video! I planted the Fourth of July climbing rose 5 years ago that looked awful and never bloomed more than a couple flowers. This year it finally grew new canes and is flowering the crazy! Only thing is the flowers aren’t variegated anymore but just a plain red. I was so confused why it changed but it must be the original root stock growing, I didn’t realize roses are grafted! Now it makes sense it’s been boggling my mind, thank you!
parents planted roses around our house. i helped and they are so temperamental but once they get going they are beautiful and amazing.
Epic Gardening, I greatly appreciate you and your content helping me fulfill my gardening passion. That history in the beginning was genius great addition to your work.
Thank you, I needed some easily understood care information since a loved one passed and had many roses that he took amazing care of, so I really don't want to ruin the roses I'm given.
The chapters make this video very useful.
My aunt passed away this April. I would cut roses from her yard so she can smell them and see them. She had lived in that house for about 12 years and the one of the reasons she chose it was the roses in the front yard. Im actually in the process of making some rose petal infused coconut oil to make some solid lotion to give out to her friends. I've changed the flowers out 4 times and it smells divine. And I'm going to preserve some of the blooms in resin as well. I gotta get it done before we sell the place. It wouldn't surprise me if the new owners would tear the roses out
I just got 2 double knock out roses!!! I’m so excited to plant them
Just bought a rose bush today. Perfect timing! 😁
Roses were (and in some modern vineyard's still) used in viticulture as a early warning for various pathogen attacks... thus the vigneron would be able to try various strategies and preventitive measures to try to protect their vines and harvest
own root roses are awesome. I've purchased from heirloom Roses before they have great customer service.
tea roses are the fussiest as far as pruning and growing etc, but give you the "florist" rose stems.
i have a climber on each side of my windwo, and bush roses UNDER the window...
and a rosa rugosa in front of a window for security.
note that the rosa rugosa roses are MUCH more shade tolerant
Roses have been the hardest for me when it comes to pests and black spot. Those damn beetles keep devouring them. But I will say my number one recommendation for roses is to find a sunny south facing spot for them. The two I have on the east side of my house struggle but the girls that get that south sun are thriving!! And my mom always told me to make sure you cut above a five leaf branch
It's suggested in northern climates to actually bury the graft point. I'd rather just bury it in leaves come fall. That's extremely important in northern climates because the cold dry winds can zap them
Yeah, but the root section will survive and totally confuse people.
Hey - English grandmother here! That made me laugh and I know what you mean. I've only just started being particularly interested in them and now I'm going to watch all your videos and spam you with loads of questions. 🙂
I always bury the grafted part of the rose. This is the weakest part of a rose. 2 - 4 inches below the soil. This will make a happy rose.
For anyone reading this in April of 2024, Costco is running specials on Heirloom Roses!
Top shelf content right here. Thank you for the lessons.
Absolutely stunning roses! I love the variety of colors and shapes you have in your garden.
Very inspiring video, with beautiful roses. Two things though: In cold climates, if you don't bury the graft point, you better mulch it before winter. And the 45 degrees cut is complete and total BS. Just make a straight cut to minimize the wound. The 45 degrees story is a leftover from the 1800s when people used pruning knifes instead of the nice pruners that we have nowadays.
Great help! Thanks! So excited to try my hand at rose bushes now!
I just made my 1 batch of soap with rose petal infusion… it feel amazing! I’d plant roses just for my soap recipe.
Excellent information provided for new rose garden creators
Thanks for creating your easy to follow video! I've never grown roses due to an inordinate amount of deer pressure, But You've sold me on the deer resistant variety!
Facing the graft to the north is new to me, thanks for sharing!
Appreciate this video. I'm currently trying to find a specific type of rose that was growing in my childhood home for over 50 years (house is sold mom didn't save it) so this will be helpful if I'm ever able to find something similar.
Cecil Bruner is my favorite. When I moved I think that rose and my microwave is the only thing I miss.
Love the diversity in your garden and on your channel! Thanks 👍
Awww, my mom loved roses and grew about 30 in the front yard. My favorite were the ones that grew really long and straight each year 🌹😍
A great video! I love that you embraced roses into your garden and life.🥰
If I may, I'd like to share one small adjustment to the pruning: At 10:18, the angle and height of your cut is good. However, you seem to be cutting in the wrong direction. To ensure water running off away from the new bud and growth, I would recommend cutting with the angle sloping in the complete opposite direction.
Thanks for the superb video. It's really lovely to see gardeners over the years sharing their love for roses.
Love roses! Hoping you make a more in-depth pruning video!
Yes, I'm a Red Rose from Lancashire, England ..
Rugosa roses have the best hips, but will spread if not contained.
How fun! I am propagating some roses from my parents’ house. This wad good timing.
I use to hate roses (and still do as cut flowers) 😂 but I love growing them in the garden.
Kebun bunga yang sangat indah good budi daya👍👍👍
I found heirloom roses and now I'm hooked. Those medicinal hips too! They got some rugosa... NM, you already know (as I'm typing) 😂
I just got a Don Juan pink rose plant. I'm waiting for the delivery.
Like you, roses were not something I planned for. There are only a few that appealed to me. However, my favorite color of roses is yellow. I found a climbing yellow rose for a very reasonable price, brought it home, and repotted it as my garden bed wasn't ready. Yellow roses are obviously a favorite of deer as well. The rose "stick" I was left with did not survive. I then found a Joseph's Coat climbing rose at my local feed store and decided to try again. The deer attacked again but before the plant was totally decimated by the invasive wildlife, I found a cheap deer repellent. Tea bags. The ones with strings so you can tie them to the roses. I lay out used tea bags and allow them to dry and then rub in copious amounts of Vicks Vapo-Rub. You may want to use gloves as the smell can be difficult to remove from your hands..Tie some to the most exposed limbs of your rose plant. OK. You don't have to use tea bags. Strips of cloth will do. Green strips of cloth are not so noticeable. I reapply the Vicks every couple of weeks or after a hard rain.
My plan for this rose is to use an 8 foot patio umbrella frame as a trellis. I will reinforce the ribs by using 14ga or 12 ga wire to stabilize the ribs and then cover with poultry wire. I found an umbrella frame on Facebook Market Place for about $20. To my delight, when I got it, it was black which was my preference. I think it should also be sturdy enough to support a couple of Hummingbird feeders. The rose will have to be secured to the umbrella post until it reaches the canopy and I will use strips of cloth for this purpose, and hopefully get the rose to wrap around the pole in a spiral pattern.
Now if I can find a way to combat the Japanese Beetles without harming the desirable pollinators. Suggestions are welcome.
Thanks very much for your tips! Appreciate it! I’m a newbie rosarian!
This video should have been named Types & Kind of Roses 101 for better clarity!!
It proved not what I expected it to be :((
Not sponsored by Heirloom roses! Now that’s DOPE AF!
You should do a winter flower garden
Great video Kevin. 🌹
Rosalina is a classic name for a rose!
I absolutely love this channel and have shared
You should check out the Tombstone Rose Tree sometime! It’s an amazing sight to see
I hope you get some David Austin roses! They are stunning and super fragrant 🌹
HAHAHAHA EMBRACE THE GRANDMOTHER WITHIN YOU KILLED ME
Garden is so great
bravo! i sell rose petals for food actually. they are delish in jams, applie pie or raspberry coulis!
John Meyer G shock is lit! (and so are the roses!)
Perfect timing I was debating on which to start with 👀
If you or the rose growers know how to keep Japanese beetles off the roses or know varieties that the J beetles don’t like, I’m all ears! I’m actually removing my rugosa roses this year as the beetles decimate the flowers and leaves every year. I am in southern MN - zone 4B
I soaked banana peels in water for a few days and then mixed it with filtered water and put it on my roses and my God one my roses bushes didn't even bloom last year and it's not only blooming now with the banana water it's got 60 blooms coming !!!
