Lenten rose?

Some one I know has a Lenten rose and I have a perfect place in the garden for one, but its February and you can only sow the seeds from September to November, I don’t fancy waiting that long so is there a faster way of propagation?



(there isn’t really a good place to take a cutting the only type of stem really is a stem of flowers with a couple of small leafs, if I took a leaf of and treat that as a cutting (the leaf is like on a stem) would it strike and shoot from the sides?

Lenten rose?
The Lenten Rose (Helleborus orientalis) can also be propagated by division.



Alice B. Russell, retired Extension Specialist, NC State University says

it can be propagated by division in spring:

http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/depts/hort/consu...



Michigan State U. Extension states:

"Division is done in spring or fall but the roots are brittle and easily injured."

http://web1.msue.msu.edu/imp/modzz/00000...



This source from Floridata (Tallahassee, Florida) says to divide in late summer or autumn.

Yikes!!! If grown from seed ... seedlings take three years to bloom.

http://www.floridata.com/ref/H/hellebor....



"Plants can be divided in the spring taking care not to damage the brittle roots and making sure that part of the crown is left with each piece."

Here's how:

Do rose hair tarantulas bite?

I just got a rose hair tarantula %26amp; i was wondering if anyone knows if they bite.......or any information i can get on them would be great! Thanks in advance.

Do rose hair tarantulas bite?
They can bite, it hurts somewhat like a bee sting from what I've heard..

It's best just to be careful when you go to handle them, there are ways to tell if they just don't want to be held..

I highly recommend you read through this care sheet on them since most pet stores and online care sheets are totally inaccurate and fail to take into consideration where this tarantula is from. Most places tell you to mist them regularly, but, these tarantulas are from a very dry climate. Misting them regularly can cause fungus on the book lungs..

Here's a great link on Grammastola rosea..

And, another one on handling..

AND, finally more basic tarantula info if you find yourself addicted to the little guys..

I really like mine, I have about 40 and they are some of the easiest pets out there to keep.. Their are so many species of them that there seems to be no end to the variety available..
Reply:they can if provoked, they are not that venomous unless your allergic to them. The worst is they let loose there hairs and those darn things can ITCH like crazy!!
Reply:Not often and only when provoked. Extremely itchy if they shed on you though

Is there such thing as the rose flu?

I'm writing a special story and I came up with the idea of rose flu for it. Is there really such thing as rose flu? If there's not, THAT'S GREAT!!! I don't want to use a type of flu that's real for this story. So does anyone know if rose flu is real, and if not, what is a type of flu that's not real?

This is in Books and Authors because it's for a story.

Is there such thing as the rose flu?
i'm like pretty sure that there is no such thing as rose flu

thers lot of different types of flu but rose isn't one of them

Reply:No, but there may be before you finish the book

A Rose For Emily by William Faulkner --- Thesis statment needed?

I am writing an essay for my English 12 class, and we need to come up with a thesis analysing a poem or short story. I chose to do A Rose For Emily by William Faulkner. I NEED A THESIS, HELP!!

A Rose For Emily by William Faulkner --- Thesis statment needed?
In the short story, A Rose for Emily, William Faulkner creates sympathy for Emily through narratation, setting, and circumstance.



This lines up your whole essay.



1. Intro

2. Narration- third person, you can't see why Emily killed him, can sound more sympathetic rather than demented

3. Setting- the South created Emily, made her prideful and alone

4.Circumstance- her father died, her wealth diminishes, Homer wants to leave, etc.

Blue Rose Of Sharon?

Has anyone had success with the blue version of the rose of sharon in zones cold as 4?

Blue Rose Of Sharon?
I live in a cold zone 5A. It leans towards a zone 4. Rose of Sharon does fine. In a zone four I would plant it in a place that gets a little bit of shelter from the wind. A wall, near taller shrubs or trees, etc... and it should be OK. Denise http://thegardenersrake.com
Reply:I think it's an up grade from the Purple Rose of Cairo, but I don't think it can match the Tulip of Toledo with the new Pentium chip.
Reply:I had one last a few years. Then I think we had a drought and lost it. I think the purple does much better and is more tolerant of our weather extremes. I also have a white one that does great.
Reply:This link says zone 5-9

Not being a rose of sharon fan I don't plant them but all of my neighbors do.

http://www.bluestoneperennials.com/b/bp/...

Check the hardiness zone

put your zip code along with hardiness zone.

Example:hardiness zone (your #)00000

You might be on the fringe of zone 4 and it could be close enough to plant one.

http://classygroundcovers.com/page----pl...
Reply:If you can try to make a micro-climate for it it should be ok. By this I mean someway growing it so it will be proteced adn think it is in a higher zone.

Sometimes this can be done by growing it close to the house especially if it also has an evergreen or fence to the side so the winds don't get to it.



good luck
Reply:Not had any experience with the Blue Satin, which looks gorgeous but don't know the hardiness rating of it. It is supposed to be as true blue as they get.



I have Blue Bird, the old variety, and it is pretty blue. Very fertile though, and as a surprise, this year in the old stand of Blue Bird, a couple of young plants bloomed for the first time--one a true, beautiful pink, and a pure white one! I don't even think that there is another Rose of Sharon in my neighborhood, guess it is just a gift of Nature. I garden in Zone 6b
Reply:Rose of Sharon (Hibiscus syriacus) is hardy in USDA hardiness zones 5-8. They are pretty easily damaged by colder weather, and definitely respond poorly to drought, especially in the fall. I'd look as some newer cultivars, that have been released from the National Arboretum. They are reported to be 'hardier' than older cultivars. I don't see a 'blue' one, but perhaps you might find one you like?

They are named for Greek myths (Aphrodite, Minerva, Diana, Helene... not sure if there are others).



I live in USDA hardiness zone 5, and have no problems with the cold here (drought yes). If you heavily mulch the plant, maybe protect it with a wind screen, you might have luck. I would definitely say, eventually the weather is likely to catch up with you.



Good luck-

I hope that this helps

Illini rose bowl shocker?

The illini will kill usc and bring back the rose bowl trophy jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjuuuuuuuuuuuuuiiiiiiiiicc...

Illini rose bowl shocker?
Excuse me Haters, USC haven't anything since Vince Young came in ur house and took whats his and thats exactly what Juice Williams is going to do.

BTW Reggie Bush and Matt Lienart are both weak Bust in the league and it is far beyond the injuries. They were just 2 overated college players who stole Hiesmen awards.

and 4 all of those doubters it was the same doubters who said they wouldn't upset 1 Ohio st.
Reply:When pigs fly.....



There is a 13.5 point spread in favor of USC.

Here's the reasons why there's a spread that large for a BCS bowl game-



1. Illinois has no passing game. making them one dimensional.

2. Yes Juice is a good QB, and will develop over time, but USC did a very good job in containing the best spread QB this year, in Dennis Dixon.

3. USC is top 3 in Rush defense, and is very experienced all around.

4. USC has the one of the quickest defenses around, while the Ilini has an experience offensive front, they haven't seen a defense this quick this year.

5. Illini's pass defense is not exceptional, meaning Booty and his much improved WR's should get plenty of yards, and opportunties to go deep.

6. USC offense as a whole is good all around w/ their blue-chips.



Personally, Illinois should never have been chosen for any BCS bowl. It would have been nice to see a USC-Georgia or -Oklahoma game.



If the Illini do upset the Trojans, it would be because the Trojans did it to themselves by not taking this game seriously. But I think they've learned from their Stanford loss.
Reply:I'm liking the Illini myself. Maybe not kill, but beat, yes, it is possible.
Reply:Okay, first IlIini did not beat Ohio State, Ohio State beat Ohio State in that game. Please know what you are actually talking about.



What this means: Yes, if USC makes alot more mistakes than usual, Illinois has a turnover margin or +3 or more and plays near perfect than Illinios can win.



This is how Stanford beat USC and how Illinois beat Ohio State, similar to Oklahoma - Colorado.



If USC and Illinois played 20 times, I would give odds that the Illini would win 3 times. So here we have game number 1, will this be one of the 3? Could be!



Now since this is a bowl game I am going to increase the odds from 15% to 30% and here is why! USC has a ton of blue chips with pro prospects and $$$$ on the mind. They actually run a pro system that translates to the pros with success so thier ability to play is already tangible to scouts and frankly the SRs have a lot more to lose should the suffer injury.



Illini runs the spread. So they have a lot more to prove, with a lot fewer players as potential drafts picks and history says NFL success out of a spread system. So this is the end of the line for a lot more of these guys.



This is my intangable

Who rose quicker to superstardom Madonna or Britney?

I will just go ahead and say I am the one who said Britney did.

Just hear me out.

I am NOT saying "who has better talent" - in my opinion thats Madonna.

I am NOT saying "who will be around longer" - also in my opinion thats Madonna

I am NOT saying "who do you like better?" - thats Madonna by a long shot as I can't stand Britney's songs...(Toxic is good but thats it)



BUT what I am saying is, in my opinion she came out of nowhere to stardom much faster than Madonna did. In fact I remember Madonna being around as a B-list star for a little bit before she broke out.



So in your opinion, and once again this is not "who is better" but, who rose to superstardom quicker? Maybe I'm wrong?

Who rose quicker to superstardom Madonna or Britney?
Britney Spears - Madonna earned her stardom by toiling in poverty and obscurity before making it big.

Madonna started singing when she was almost a teenager.

Reply:Madonna!!!!
Reply:Definately Britney Spears, she just boomed on to the charts faster than she had babies!!! she was soooo young as well, Madonna on the other hand had more of a struggle to stardom, basically she didn't just appear all of a sudden in a school uniform raking in the big bucks, I hope poor Brit gets back on track!
Reply:Britney did but she also fell as quick as she rose and Madonna still rocks!
Reply:Britney spears
Reply:I see your point, it is true because brittney was probally just in the mickey mouse club and probally something else and she did come out fast when madona was comeing out but not that strong but she did come out lol. But then again no in days it seems like its more easier for everyone to come out, especially if they get noticed fast or try to. The thing is just about anybody can become famous atleast for a minute.

Floyd Rose Trem on my Strat?

Can I put a Floyd Rose tremolo on my Fender Strat (Mexican made) without doing any woodwork?? if not how much might it cost for a professional to do it for me?? Thanks!

Floyd Rose Trem on my Strat?
Your Strat will need to be modified for the Floyd system. The system extends back towards the tail and some routing must be done so the tremelo will work. It wouldn't be hard to do, if you have some woodworking experience and want to refinish the part that gets routered.
Reply:im not so sure about installing a new floyd rose, but you can buy pretty much the same guitar(fender mexican standard hss strat) but with a floyd rose in it.

Did "Rose" really leave the show??

I had a basketball game last night and came home just in time to see Charlie begging Rose not to leave and then her empty house. Is she really going to leave the show?(Two and a Half Men)

Did "Rose" really leave the show??
She's been offered a role in the upcoming FOX series Drive. I'd guess she's gone, at least for now. But at least they didn't kill her off. I think they intentionally left the door open in case Drive doesn't work out.
Reply:Seems like it. She probably has an offer for another show as a headliner or offered a part in a movie.

I too liked her character.

Stinking Rose?

The last time I was in SF ate at a resturant called the Stinking Rose. I believe it was in the North Beach area. Does anyone know if it is still there? And what do you think of the food?

Stinking Rose?
325 Columbus Avenue, yet it is still there, they serve lots of garlic foods.
Reply:Don't know if it's still there but the food was over rated to begin with. It was only good the first few years it was open. It got too popular too fast.
Reply:I would not recommend it. overrated.
Reply:I haven't eaten there, but, yes, it is still there.
Reply:Yup, that place is still standing. I haven't been there myself, but I personally know people who have been there and they liked it. They said that they served a lot of garlic dishes. So if you're ever in the area again and you love garlic, the Stinking Rose is THE place to go.

A rose for emily thesis?
What would make a woman kill a man, keep the body in an upstairs bedroom for 30 years and sleep with Homer nightly? Faulkner writes about life and human nature. Being a "lady" had consequences, both good and bad. It's why she got the poison, and why she could run off the tax collector, but also why she couldn't have friends or dates, according to Dad. Pick out what you think was society's part in Emily's life, including the aunts. You can write about your favorite part and THEN write the thesis statement. You can change it as you write or discover new elements.
Reply:I've read the short story, but what exactly are you doing your paper on? :/



Did your teacher just say, "Write an essay on A Rose For Emily", or did she actually assign you a promt? I need to know where your paper is going to tell you how to make a thesis for it. Your thesis is basically supposed to outline your paper.

Floyd rose body, Normal bridge?

Need to know wether a normail strat tremelo bridge will fit on a body routed for a Floyd Rose one. Anyone?

Floyd rose body, Normal bridge?
Nope. Usually Floyd Rose tremolos require additional body routing behind the tremolo, so you'd need to fill in those spaces behind the tremolo with wood before you could install a standard Strat-style tremolo.
