The scent is fabulous and I love the blooms as well. They are hard to find here so I rarely plant them. They don't last long and don't come back. Still, if I run across them I have to buy some. Yes, they don't like the heat. They are usually used in planters as spring plants here. I have been spending lots of time in the garden lately. I've pruned half of our roses and hope to get to the other half soon.

I wondered if stock would reproduce blooms during summer in my garden and looked for information online. Unfortunately, also in my climate it is said to bloom for a maximum of two months. I guess it would be really great to have a rose inventory list. I counted my roses in the past, but last year I lost track on how many I have. <br />It is lovely to share gardening experiences, seeing what beautiful plants other gardeners got! In a british gardening series I once heard the sentence "Gardens are for sharing", which I think is totally true. I also love it when my neighbors ask me about my garden or tell me that they love to smell the roses from my garden when they are sitting on their balcony. I am sure the spring rose flush in your garden won´t disappoint! Especially since you finally had rain after all these years of drought, I am positive they will thrive! Regarding fertilising, I don´t think it will make such a difference whether you fertilise them right now or some weeks later. I started fertilising my roses, but I am not yet through with all the roses. I planted many bare root roses in October last year and they haven´t yet spread as many shoots as the rest of the roses. So I thought I might wait a bit with fertilising them. I am in general excited how the bare rooted roses will do (whether it will take longer for them to establish) as I have never planted bare root roses before, only container roses.<br />Best wishes,<br />LisaLisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16109267388874121002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5286710136867815403.post-23479902983098956902017-03-20T11:19:00.976-07:002017-03-20T11:19:00.976-07:00Good afternoon Christina, stocks are such a pretty...Good afternoon Christina, stocks are such a pretty plant with a beautiful perfume. My Uncle Ted always grew stocks from seed and planted them in the garden when the warmer weather arrived here in England. I am afraid I cannot give you advice because your climate is much warmer than mine, but I can see you have received lots of advice from your friends.<br />I think stocks went out of fashion with the younger generation, but as with gladioli, I do hope they begin to appear in gardens once again.<br />Best Wishes<br />Daphne Ivy, Phyllis and Me!https://www.blogger.com/profile/09988502694544216304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5286710136867815403.post-87451835779074131192017-03-20T03:01:05.633-07:002017-03-20T03:01:05.633-07:00Hi Christina!

I'm busy in my garden getting it back in shape after three severe winter freezes. <br />I've never grown stock, but I often buy it as fresh cut flowers. Love the fragrance, but I've found that a vase of stock can quickly give off unpleasant odors if the water and stems aren't kept clean. <br />My grandmother always grew stock in her garden, and I can assure you it must have been from seeds. Good luck and happy gardening.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01873375271470225199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5286710136867815403.post-36641003505080270622017-03-19T13:49:16.013-07:002017-03-19T13:49:16.013-07:00Your flowers are beautiful!Your flowers are beautiful!Christine @ Rustic-Refinedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15062085942305276829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5286710136867815403.post-84160328691564578602017-03-19T08:14:49.927-07:002017-03-19T08:14:49.927-07:00Hetty, sounds like stock is an easy plant to grow ...Hetty, sounds like stock is an easy plant to grow from seeds for you.

The plants are tiny and their root balls are even tinier and when I plant them I often loose them because they can be so easily over- or under-watered. With our hot springs that is really an issue for me and I wonder how you manage to keep those little babies alive. <br />I am so glad you found the taller species of stock and can't wait to see on your blog what they look like! Hope they will make it despite our warmer temperatures into fully bloom strong plants. organicgardendreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122516730008378516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5286710136867815403.post-10895931611493642872017-03-16T22:09:37.351-07:002017-03-16T22:09:37.351-07:00I love you stocks.

I thought it had to do with our cold climat. But the few flowers this roses are bringing are beautiful. I am also not succesfull with the teahybrids. Canes die and many of the roses ending up on one cane. I think the historical roses are the best to grow with the climat we have in Holland. The only thing is they don't repeat flowering. But I hope my other plants give flowers in summertime.<br />Have a wonderful day Christina.<br />Rosehugs Marijke.Marijkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12848940570958437408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5286710136867815403.post-45363067582663492472017-03-16T14:31:03.725-07:002017-03-16T14:31:03.725-07:00I grow matthiola incana from seeds.

I saw stock in garden centres before, but have never had this plant in my own garden. I wonder for how long it will bloom. Will it produce new flowers during summer? I also think that annuals can be quite expensive, considering that you will only have them for one season.<br />Everything looks very nice and tidy in your garden. That must have been a lot of work. I am especially looking forward to seeing your roses bloom in spring. Do you actually know how many roses you have in your garden? Do you ever count them?<br />Best wishes,<br />LisaLisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16109267388874121002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5286710136867815403.post-78783405829805089362017-03-16T13:56:47.619-07:002017-03-16T13:56:47.619-07:00Liebe Christina, vielen Dank für die tollen Garten...Liebe Christina, vielen Dank für die tollen Garteneinblicke :) Schade, dass Du heuer auf Hornveilchen verzichten musst.

I may have previously complained to you about the difficulty finding the taller stock in garden centers - surprisingly, I recently found 6-packs of that species and planted one out in my cutting garden.
