MADALA'S SECTION

IPL Cricket Cricket Bollywood style. Packed stadiums. A cricket sponsors heaven. They had to make up for all the losses during last years early exit from the World cup. With the Golden and Black Shah Rukh Khan Nokia Knight Riders to Preity Zinta's team. All the stars are out at night Pro 20 style cricket. Shane Warne, Glen Mgrath, Polly. Even Keppler Wessels name was heard. Shoaib Akhtar is playing. Where is Jonty Rhodes? Graeme Smith is there. Even Jacque Kallis was allowed to play Pro 20s this time. The games are so tense even poor Harbijan lost his temper and klapped someone. Eish.

Rose Gardening tips

Water your roses

THIS is the #1 tip for roses, as they need lots of water. You can use a sprinkler system for watering roses, but sometimes you just need to stand with them and use a hose-pipe to ensure that they get a good soaking. He did mention talking to them while you're watering them, but I think I'll leave that to you to decide.

Feed your roses

Use Wonder Rose Fertilizer, which says it is an 8:1:5 (25) fertiliser for all roses. You need to give the roses fertiliser once every 3-4 weeks, and only a very light sprinkle, ensuring that it doesn't touch the roses, and water them THOROUGHLY. If you put too much and your roses start to look "burned", you will probably have to remix your soil and re-plant your roses.

Spray your roses

Use something called RoseCare 3 from Efekto. It protects roses (and other ornamental plants) from powdery mildew, Blackspot, Rust, Aphids, Thrips and Redspidermite. When you first get your roses, you will need to spray them with a more concentrated amount (15 or 20 ml per 1 litre, instead of the usual 10ml). You should use the more concentrated mixture for the first 3 sprays. You need to spray your roses every 1-2 weeks, at least at the beginning, and then possibly make it 2-3 week intervals.

Prune your roses

This is just the pruning of the flowers once they have bloomed. The more you prune, the more flowers you will get. I was told to prune my roses once they had bloomed, and the lower down I cut them, the bushier my rose-bush would get. The added bonus is, the lower you cut the flower, the longer the stem, and the more likely you can put the rose in a vase of some sort.
