Is it too late to plant roses (container planting in Florida)?
So I was thinking about trying my hand at gardening and wanted to try to grow my own roses (I was think about hybrid teas). But is it too late? I am in Central Fl and would try container growing (since I don’t have a lot of space). Thanks for your help!
GardenersCardiff answers:
I’d say probably in central Florida, it’d be possible to try growing roses all year round.
I would visit a local nursery and ask them. They’ll be more expert at the local climate and recommending varieties that do well in your area and for what you want it to do: Live in a pot.
Mark asks…
Why are there so few people of color at Tea Party rallies?
Yes, there may be one or two colored persons per thousand at a Tea Party rally, if any at all, but why so few?
I am a brown skinned person.
Surely colored people feel that they are over taxed? I do.
Surely colored people feel that the banks should not have received a bailout? I do.
Surely colored people feel that wall street has too much power and influence over government? I do.
If the Tea Party is only about the issues, and not about racism, why do so few colored people attend?
After all, many colored people also are concerned about the national debt. I am.
Many colored people are concerned about the size of government. I am.
Why don’t they attend these rallies? Why are there only white people there?
Could it be because of the signs of nazism?
Could it be because of he signs displaying covert racist remarks?
Could it be because signs that depict a black man as an animal, or a sign that makes insulting remarks about race could be offensive.
Where was the tea party when Bush, Clinton, Bush Sr. and Regan exploded the size of government?
Why only now, when a black man is president, is there suddenly a backlash?
Could it be coincidence that there is only a backlash when a black man becomes president?
There a backlash of racism when the slaves were freed, We had Jim Crow and the KKK rise up after they were feed.
There was a backlash of racism when the civil rights act of 1968 was passed.
Could the tea party be a racist backlash against a black president?
Your taxes have not gone up.
Your still have the same freedoms as before.
No one took your guns away.
The capital market still runs wall street, the government does not.
We still have capitalist owners who own the corporations, it is not owned by the state.
Your health care is still privately owned and operated, not by the state.
As for the national debt, it started growing at this pace since Ronald Reagan, why didn’t a tea party form then?
If Ronald Regan were black, would there have been a tea party back in 1980?
Why are there no blacks at tea parties?
Is it because the tea party is a racist movement started from fear, or a legitimate anti-government movement. If the latter, why aren’t there any minorities there?
GardenersCardiff answers:
People generally have a sense of where radical groups are coming from. And minorities are not duped by the far rights’s Tea Party crowd. I say radical because tea partiers fit into that category. You would have to be radical to believe that making the markets freer will make our economy better. You have to be a radical to believe that making health care available to more Americans is wrong. And you definitely have to be a radical to chose ignoble icons from the past to compare to the current black president. C’mon, Hitler pics of Obama? How in the world could you compare….
Well, anyways. That sure does say something about their education. And as you pointed out, the national debt tripled under Reagan, so where were the govt spending protests then? I’ve yet to see any of the tea people or their sympathizers comment fully on that. The growth of govt is what it is, no matter if tax dollars are spent on domestic issues or useless defense programs.
The sad thing is that Obama has awaken the hatred in many of those on the right. They claim that they are made up of all people, but when’s the last time you say a liberal at one of their rallies. I sure haven’t. They may attract some moderates simply because of their devotion to solving govt spending, but even then moderates realize that Republicans haven’t been the party of thriftiness.
Donald asks…
What type/variety of rose to use for rose petal tea?
I would like to make rose tea using dried petals from roses purchased from the floral section at the local grocery store.
After researching, I came across a statement that read:
“If you are not buying rose petals from a tea store, make your own. You will need to be certain that the variety of rose petals you grow are sweet tasting rather than bitter.”
What variety of rose/s make a sweet tasting tea rather than bitter?
No comments on making sure the roses are organic and free of pesticides before use in tea please.
The local grocery store offers organically raised roses that are free of pesticides.
Thank you.

Not a tea or a rose person so ask again in the nonalcoholic beverages section for a better chance at a non-troll answer.
