I recently purchased an indoor miniature rose plant which had 20 or more unopened buds. None of the buds opened. Some had brown stems below the bud only to the main stem and fell off easily. Those that looked healthy developed the brown stem beneath the bud as well. The rose bush looks healthy. I purchased and brought it home on a below 0 day but covered it to the car. Two other rose plants were purchased on the same day yet they are blooming and growing normal. Is this plant sick or was it disturbed by the cold? I could not find anything like it on any web pages.

mulch for apple trees
Hi, I have planted 500 apple trees (mostly 2nd years) this spring and I am considering applying mulch to the base of the trees to help prevent weeds and keep in moisture. If I do apply mulch, do I need to make sure not to cover the graft union? Should I be mixing anything in with my mulch? Thank you for your assistance.

Arborvitae bending under weight of fruit and rain
Hello, I planted about 27 Brandon Arborvitaes approx. 6 years ago - they went in at six feet, they are 10-14 feet now.
Live in Chicago area, while we got some snow this year, I was out there after every storm knocking the snow off and they looked great in spring. We've had a lot of moisture this spring/summer, and the trees have gone through a bit of a "growth spurt". Unfortunately, as they are fruiting heavily and dealing with the storms we've had, many of the branches are now bending outward, almost looks like snow damage, but it's the weight of the fruit and water from rain that seems to be causing this. Aside from that, they are in great shape. Should I attempt to cut out some of the bending leaders? Or, tie the tops together and hope they straighten out after the fruits drop? I used to tie them together before winter with heavy yarn up on the tops to keep snow out, removing the yarn in spring. However, over the last few years, they've gotten so big, I just get out after big snows with a straw broom and knock the snow off and have had no problems.
Any suggestions you could provide would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

No blooms
Hi, I've moved a few towns over and in my new yard is a rose bush. There were just a few stems sticking up in the spring, but they turned green and the rose bush flurished and got really big and green. All summer we waited and no blooms. If it looks healthy why no blooms?
