Disease Resistant Roses
   This is for the rose lovers out there. I have not checked on what zone these roses can be grown in, however I do recognize the names of some of them and I know they are hardy to our zone. So please research these if you are interested. These roses are black spot and/or mildew resistant. The letter "b" will follow the name if it is black spot resistant and "m" if it is mildew resistant. Both letters are for those that are both.

   I do not grow many roses myself so I cannot swear by this information, I read this somewhere. I added the Knockout rose, which I do have experience with and also the Peace Rose. The Knockout rose seems to withstand most anything. Lots of blooms for the money.
  If you are into antique rose types, check out Antique Rose Emporium. I came across them a number of years ago and was inspired by their methods for trying to preserve the old roses of long ago. www.antiqueroseemporium.com
   Hope this helps, and if you have any better information please pass it on. Thanks!

   Winter tips for house plants:
   
Do not fertilize, house plants are house plants are resting now.
     Misting is enjoyed by plants, dry indoor heat draws moisture away from plants. A tray with pebbles and a small amount of water underneath will greatly benefit your plants.
