about

I'm that person that everyone calls or e-mails when they need advice. It doesn't matter the subject, they contact me. I don't give you the answer you want to hear and most of my advice is not your mother's advice, if you want your mom's advice--Go ask your mom or mother figure. If you ask a question you will always get an honest answer--note: I did not say the answer you want-- I said an honest answer. If you ask me something I have to research to answer, I will research it and provide you with the source if you ask.

advice

last year, i planted a yellow rosh bush in my garden. then somewhere over the winter, it got pulled up and cut, but the bulb was still in the ground. this year, i completely forgot about the rose bush because there was no plant visible above ground, so i planted a bleeding heart plant in the same place. about 4 days ago, 2 stems for the bleeding heart came up, and then yesterday, the stem for the rose bush came up in the middle of the two. what should i do about this? can i just leave both of them and have them grow together?

You might want to check with your local nursery but if they are both coming up at the same time it sounds like they will be okay together. Just be sure to keep a little space between them so neither one smothers the other one.

My great-grandmother could grow anything--literally--anything. She would mix things that you would think wouldn't grow well together and they all did fine so long as she kept them from smothering whatever is in the middle.

Again, let them grow and I bet it will be a really pretty sight when the rose starts flowering. With the rose being cut off and regrowing from the bulb it may not produce roses this year but the green of the bush should still be pretty.
