It was actually UNDER 90 degrees today for the first time in a while here in Louisiana! Cold front is supposed to finally arrive and maybe bring some needed rain . One thing I am puzzled about that some of you here know far more than I is , my rose bushes / plants are growing like crazy? I would have thought that more growth would occur during the times when it is raining far more often ? I love to see them thriving but am curious as to why they grow branches (big amd long) along with great foliage along with it? I AM SO ACCUSTOMED TO mAINE AND THE RAPID GROWTH AND BLOOMING (sorry) of all plants and crops due to the shorter season . Any information would be appreciated . I hope all is well for all that post here!
You Southerners and those in the South East have really gotten a kick in the pants with that last heat wave! I’m glad you’re getting some much-needed relief!
As for the roses putting out a lot of growth after the heat, I’ve had that happen to mine up here in the North, too. I think it’s their last hurrah before calling it quits for the season.
I’ve been looking, but can’t find a logical reason for it, so I’m open to other suggestions/experiences.
