On this page, we'll try to answer some of the more frequently asked questions about roses that we've heard from our customers. When you're faced with uncertainty about what to do with your roses, read as much as you can about roses and ask your gardenings friends for advice. But most importantly, relax -- remember, you're doing this because you want to! Taking care of roses is alot like taking care of anything -- you have to pay attention to them so you know when something is not quite right.

Please treat hardiness zone ratings on perennials as a best guess, but only a guess. Many factors influence plant survivability: reliable snow cover, wind swept location, proximity of structures, depth of soil, just to name a few.

Most books dealing with plants, catalogs, even our site (just a click on our online catalog section will show you a hardiness map), will have a U.S.A. map depicting the climate zones.

The Empire Zone is a New York State designated program designed to stimulate development and create jobs for Town residents.

The block system was developed to make entering the Zone easier. A Zone block is made up of a mini-block from each macronutrient category (protein, carbohydrate and fat). By balancing your mini-blocks in a 1:1:1 ratio, you can easily attain the proper caloric ratio of 40% carbohydrate, 30% protein, and 30% fat without having to measure grams.

A mini-block of protein is equal to 7 grams of protein, a mini block of carbohydrate is equal to 9 grams, a mini-block of fat is equal to 1.5 grams (or 3 grams when Zoning labels or when your protein source is completely fat free). To be in the Zone, you need to have your meals balanced in a 1-1-1 ratio, one mini-block of each macronutrient is equal to one block. To make a three block meal, you can put together three blocks any way you want, as long as it's balanced.
