Planting Roses

I caught your show on planting roses on TV last Sunday morning (1/24/10) but didn't have time to jot down all the steps and materials needed. We'll be getting a shipment of "unplanted" roses soon and I want to give them all they need to get a good start. Is there a video of that show somewhere I could revisit, or could you give me the details again on pretreatment, hole preparation, materials for soil and watering, etc? Enjoy your show very much. Thank you.

Christmas Cactus

Christmas cactus must go through a dry out/ stress stage and also a reduction of light. Allow them to dry thoroughly for 30 days in a low light area. Then bring them gradually into an area with medium to full sun and fertilize.
