The rose garden is proving to be problematic. The roses themselves are showing signs of replant disease. This refers to the problem of re-establishing plants in soil where the same species was grown previously. Roses are a case in point, but this can apply to other species. The soil was changed the last time the rose garden was replanted, but the evidence suggests it did not work. Examining the soil more closely suggests that it is hungry. It has received some manure in the past but not as generously as I would like. We could try a few other things to amend the soil and thus help the roses.
