The Gardener: Growing roses the easy way - Rexburg Standard Journal

May is the perfect time to plant roses! Some people think that growing roses in our area is practically impossible. Perhaps like me, their initial efforts were discouraging.The first year we moved to Rexburg, we planted six roses in front of our house, but by the following spring all but two were dead. I’ve learned a lot about growing roses since that time.My wife, Kathy, and I have over 70 roses on our property, so we know it’s not impossible to grow roses on the Upper Snake River Plain. One of the reasons folks struggle with roses in our area is because they grow the wrong kinds. Many gardeners want to grow the kinds of roses they see in florist shops — a rose variety called the hybrid tea. Hybrid teas were bred for their large, velvety blooms with high centers on long stems convenient for cutting.The problem is hybrid teas are only marginally hardy in our zone 4 climate. Can they be successfully grown here? They can. Do they require extra maintenance? They do. Hybrid teas require careful pruning, fertilizing, spraying and, most annoyingly of all, winter protection. Hybrid teas demand more commitment from a gardener. However, if you are not sure you’re ready to make the “big commitment” to grow hybrid... http://www.rexburgstandardjournal.com/opinion/columns/the-gardener-growing-roses-the-easy-way/article_209d0f6a-0e37-11e6-b3ab-d78a3c9a3126.html

Toilet paper over tulips: How the floral industry is being affected by COVID - UNF Spinnaker

Mother’s Day (March 22 for the United Kingdom and May 10 for the United States) is one of the busiest days of the year for flower shops. This year, instead of being sent to florists all over the world, flowers are being destroyed in the world’s largest flower market, Aalsmeer Flower Auction. The global COVID-19 pandemic has reduced the demand for flowers, as events are canceled and unemployment rates rise. Flowers continue to bloom, which means farmers must continue to harvest, but many of the flowers harvested never reach the hands of consumers. Last week, Aalsmeer reported 43,058 pieces being destroyed, according to their weekly market report. This number consisted of both cut flowers and indoor and outdoor plants.This flower waste is also occurring domestically. San Francisco-based company, Farm Girl Flowers, reported having to throw away 150 million dollars worth of flowers on a March 25 Instagram post showing a pile of thousands of stems. Christina Stembel, the founder and CEO of Farm Girl Flowers produced an Instagram TV video stating that the Farm Girl Flowers distribution center had been ordered to close as part of the shelter in place mandate put in place in San Francisco on March 19. Scott Shepard, former wholesaler at Cut Flower Wholesale in Atlanta, Georgia and current creator of the Flower Podcast, expresses concern about the uncertainty this pandemic has caused. “I don’t see how we can continue business as usual,” Shepard s... https://unfspinnaker.com/83395/latest-stories/toilet-paper-over-tulips-how-the-floral-industry-is-being-affected-by-covid/

Meet Pickletown Flower Co., Denver's Mobile Floral Studio - 5280 | The Denver Magazine

Co., a mobile floral studio, isn’t a fan of The Big Day (she’s been happily married for almost 19 years). Rather, she thinks blossoms should be a quotidian joy. As she puts it: “I may not be the florist for your one special day, but I’m the florist for your every day after.”Sparzak fell root over stem for flowers while living in New York City, where one of her regular walks took her through the Flower District. “The city changes: There are flowers and plants and shrubs spilling out onto the sidewalks,” she says of the area. The scene inspired her to start crafting bouquets for her nonprofit employer’s events—and she quickly found her calling. Six years after moving to Colorado, she began making imaginative floral and wreath installations for her neighborhood coffee shop, Spur, and Pickletown was born soon after.Since last summer, Sparzak has been traveling around Denver, Littleton, and Golden in her gray truck—once used to haul furniture deliveries—selling individual stems and limited grab-and-go arrangements during twice-monthly pop-ups. If you can’t get to the vehicle, the flowers will come to you: Pickletown offers a subscription service that supplies florals to your office or home on a recurring basis. (Office flower subscriptions start at $35 per delivery; the personal Bouquet Coterie membership program starts at $48 per month.) And if you want to try your hand at the craft, Sparzak host... https://www.5280.com/2020/03/meet-pickletown-flower-co-denvers-mobile-floral-studio/
