The roses They are deciduous or evergreen woody shrubs depending on the variety that have been used for centuries to decorate gardens, patios, terraces ... and balconies.

Which of these vines did you like the most?
Hello, I planted fence Photinias in my garden and with the summer rains that happened the racies were flooded, today all the leaves are dry, they have buds, but for me they sprout and die again. What you can do to revive them. I already put more sand on them, to raise them, improve the land and put a league on it. What do you recommend me to do? The area where I live has high napas, although I don't think they are touching the roots at the moment. Please if someone can tell me.
Hi Vanina.
How often do you water them? Now it is important to water them little, a maximum of twice a week, since otherwise the roots could end up rotting.
It is also highly recommended to treat them with a systemic fungicide to prevent the proliferation of fungi.
And to wait. Unfortunately not much more can be done 🙁.
Good luck!
