Q: My new rose has very large, fragrant blooms but I am concerned that they
tend to hang their heads. I thought that roses were meant to have upward-
facing flowers?
A: All roses will take a few seasons to reach their mature shape and size.
Large-flowered varieties in particular tend to get better and better over
their first two or three years as the stems become thicker, providing
greater support for their heavy blooms. Prune them back in winter by no more

Planting:
Know the mature size of your camellia, and plan accordingly if planting
close to a window or home foundation.
Plant camellias anytime except in the hottest summer months.
Camellias require well-drained soil.
An ideal soil pH for camellias is within the 6.0-6.5 range.
If planting multiple camellia shrubs, space them at least 5 feet apart.

我们搬出房子前已经很好地打扫了屋子和院子，我觉得比我们搬进去时还要干净！然后
什么dead landscaping，我们搬进去的时候里面有几棵树的树枝已经干枯，我和房东说
过几次，让他找人来处理，怕掉下来砸到人，他也一直不弄，现在就来扣我们钱了！
是不是加州都是这样扣押金的呢？还是房东就是欺负我们是中国人？！！虽然数额不大
