If you're talking about bushes to plant, I've seen roses start at $2 for bare root and go up to $50 per bush. Hydrangeas rarely run over $20, and usually go for around $7-$10.
What is more expensive roses or hydrangeas?
Depends on how big the pots are when you buy them. But I think roses are more.
Reply:If your talking going to a florist and buying them. Hydrangeas are. I know this because I am a florist.
Reply:Depends on how they are sold: in bunches or as aan arrangement or bush. It all depends on the season too. Obviously roses will be more expensive during Valentine's. They're also more widely available than Hydrangeas. Hydrangeas have availability depending on the season.

Do I have to repot my hydrangeas when I get them in a plastic nursery pot?
I received this as a gift, and not sure how I need to care for it. They have beautiful violet blooms, and I would like to keep them in good condition.
P.S. I live am in the southern California climate.
Do I have to repot my hydrangeas when I get them in a plastic nursery pot?
I wouldn't right away I would wait till it stops blooming. but after it stops blooming I would. right now if you repot the hydrangea it might shock it and it will die.
Reply:It's always better for the plant to repot it as the stuff it comes in really isn't soil with needed nutrients.
Reply:Absolutely. If you leave them in the plastic pot they will get root bound. Dig a hole larger than the plant (needs sun) Use some good potting soil. Mine come back up every year.
Reply:You would do well to bump them up to double or triple the current pot size. It will be a lot easier to keep the blooms from witling so often as it will allow a larger root space and more water to support them.
Reply:You can keep them in the plastic nursery pot.

When do you prune oak-leaf hydrangeas?
Oakleaf hydrangea blooms on new season growth. This means that you want to prune it before the growth begins. That would mean to prune in late winter or early spring. You would want to look at the branches and see if some of it is damaged by the winter. If it has, then prune off all the damaged bits. You want to end of the branch that is left to be ready to leaf out when it warms up.
These bushes are mainly grown for their leaves, so if you prune a bit late and cut off the new growth that would have produced flowers, it isn't such a problem.
When do you prune oak-leaf hydrangeas?
IN THE FALL IS THE BEST TIME, IT WONT DELAY NEW GROWTH OR BLOOMS
Reply:Remove growth by 1/3 to 1/2 cutting back when new buds are just appearing. Give a good dose of your preferred fertilizer by adding around the plant. This will give them a good start for the new seasons growth. They are reasonably forgiving plants so don't stress too much.

What do I do with my hydrangeas for the winter?
they are not in very good shape, but we hope to have them next spring. Do we cut them back? Cover them? Thanks
What do I do with my hydrangeas for the winter?
depends on what kind of hydrangeas they are. If they bloom with pink or blue flowers, then most of them bloom on old wood and should not be cut back. Exceptions are some of the new varieties that bloom on old and new wood, such as Endless Summer. If it is Annabelle, you can cut it to the ground. Here's a guide for pruning the various varieties, since there are so many different types.
Hydrangeas - When To Prune HydrangeasTo complicate the issue, different types of hydrangeas need pruning at different times. You will have to know what type your plant is. ...

I like to mulch my pink and blue hydrangeas with a good cover of leaves, sometimes they make it with old wood intact to bloom, sometimes not in my unpredictable zone 6b winters.
Reply:Typically, I don't recommend that they are trimmed back until Spring. This provides some insulation for the plant during the Winter. If your particular plants struggled with insects or diseases this past growing season, I would trim them back early. This is the only reason to trim back Hydrangeas now.
Reply:Don't touch them until spring.You can put an extra layer of mulch for a little winter protection.In the spring you can prune off any dead wood.You do not want to prune in the fall-you may be cutting off next years flowers.

You need to read all of this website so that you will be well informed:

Pruning is the very last paragraph. But you should not prune until you find out what type of shrub you have. You can take a branch with leaves to a nursery and they will be able to tell you.
Happy gardening to you.
Reply:I cut the ones close to my house down to about a foot tall. They put out and bloom fine the next year. The ones further away, I leave alone until they get way too large, then I do the same with them. If you live where it gets very cold, it would be good to mulch around them.

I just saw Ina Garten put hydrangeas in really hot tap water, is this really good for them? Why?
They take up the warmer water better and if the flowers are somewhat closed, the hot water will open them.

How can I tell if my hydrangeas, that I planted last summer are not going to bloom?
They both look pretty dead. When I bought them I was told that they would look like that but would bloom eventually. Well, no blooms. SHould I just give up and pull them out of the ground?
Thanks.
How can I tell if my hydrangeas, that I planted last summer are not going to bloom?
First, where do you live? My hydrangeas (in California) are just now putting out leaves. I don't expect flowers for another month of two. If you are in a colder clime, you may have to wait another month.
Look around your neighborhood or the local nursery. Are the hydrangeas there starting to leaf out? If so, then I would go back to where I bought them and ask for a refund!! If local hydrangeas are still hibernating, then I would wait awhile!
Reply:Dont do anything yet - I dont know where you live but mine always look like dried up sticks at this time of year....They'll start growing in about a month...Just wait.
By the way, I live in the midwest.
Reply:It too early. I live in the deep south and my hydrangeas are full of foliage but no blooms yet, but they will bloom they do every year. It just take them another month or so. Give them time.
Reply:Where they like that when you bought them? alot of times for certain flowers to bloom they need a certain type of soil or fertilizer to help them stay healthy and bloom. You also have to prune them every so often. Also if you bought the Greenhouse type normally you can tell if they came with the pretty foil or clear plastic wrapping that they were cared for in a greenhouse which doesn't help you because they are not acclimated to your area.
Thanks.
