Osiria Rose – Where can I buy them? I would like to get two to start with.

I live in East Central Illinois.

Most of the companies that have sold Osiria rose in the past no longer do so, since the rose has many issues when trying to grow it. The only place I have seen it advertised lately is from seeds which do not grow true to parent.

The gardens look beautiful! Is it possible to have a bridal shower there? I'm interested in hosting a bridal shower on June 25, 2023 with 35-40 people.

Thank you for any information you can provide!

Hi Carol, I see you have a blog post on growing herbs indoor. Do you have any recommendations for someone who wants to grow some plants indoors that aren't herbs. I'd like to grow some calendula and maybe helichrysum indoors. I was too late to the party and didn't grow any in the garden. What kind of pot? Will this work indoors if they are in the sunlight? Thank you!

I have not grown either indoors so can't give advice on them.

Once the stem is gone, it won't grow another flower. The plant may send up another shoot with a new flower though.

Hi Carol,

Thanks for the link to a natural killer for Creeping Charlie. However, to be fair, the link that you mentioned from the University of Iowa is actually from Iowa State University and Richard Jauron in the Department of Horticulture.

Thanks,
