Tony Becker, August 5, 2005 I'd like to plant some rosa rugosas in the old family cemetary on Cape Cod. It's got only about 8" of horriblly sandy top soil then it's orange sand (all the way to the water table I'd guess). My problem is that I'd not be able to care for the beach roses once planted. I visit the area infrequently so I continue to plant and pray. Day lilies, sedums, coral bells and some coreopsis have survived (not flourished). As I read through beach rose transplanting comments it's clear how important frequent watering will be. Is there any way to jump start a live plant? I'd probably move some from actual beach/field locations on other properties. Thanks so much.
