***New Here? READ before posting***

Before you go posting and asking if you should get checked for scoliosis: yes. If you think you have scoliosis because you have uneven ribs or hips or legs, get checked by an orthopedic surgeon as soon as possible.

We have a huge problem of people posting images of their bodies here asking for a diagnosis. First off: we can’t diagnose. We aren’t medical professionals here. Secondly, you might not have scoliosis. It’s very hard for those of us with scoliosis to see a near perfect body complaining about their body in a community that’s supposed to be a safe place to vent.

We are not saying you aren’t welcome here; what we’re saying is be mindful. What isn’t often talked about is the mental battle of having an asymmetrical body. Because when your body is asymmetrical, it doesn’t even look like your friends who also have asymmetrical bodies, because each curve is different and each body is different.

So before posting, read our sub rules. Get checked by an orthopedic surgeon. Then if you do have scoliosis, come back and post about it. Your feelings, your thoughts, whatever questions you may have - except don’t ask if you have scoliosis (it’s seriously the only question we cannot answer).

First cut flowers of the season!

I haven’t ever cut our roses for a vase before! But I feel like I did pretty good for the first round of cuts!

No idea what roses they are, but there’s 2 types here. I think these are either hybrid teas or floribundas. I’m in zone 7b, if anyone wants to try and ID them! The bushes can get taller than our back fence and don’t require a trellis.

Hey all! I’ve been posting here more often as I continue to learn about roses. We inherited these bushes when we moved into the house years ago and I still have no idea what they are. But I finally got some blooms on 3 (of the very many) bushes in our yard.

What do these ones look like? I’ve numbered the different photos to try and help keep them straight!

Edit to add: The first rose bush is maybe 3 feet tall. It has very thin branches and is the only one with a trellis.

The 2nd and 3rd bushes are as tall as my backyard fence (around 5-6 feet). They were both way taller until a few days ago when I realized I couldn’t realistically care for a bush that was twice as tall as me.

I highly suspect the last owner of our house purchased these from either Home Depot or Costco. She seemed to be an incredibly loyal buyer to those two locations when she renovated the home.

It works! But I’m also disgusted. Looks like a car windshield after a long road trip! This is what’s on the roller after cleaning 1.5 buds of aphids.

I’ve been spraying my roses with water, soapy water, and neem oil for a couple of weeks and this is definitely the most effective method so far! Might need to buy more lint rollers tho 😂

The aphids are getting worse every single day!!! I sprayed with neem oil just a few days ago, and before that I sprayed every bud as best I could with a stream of water to knock them off. It feels like the more I try to get rid of them, the more they multiply.

Help?!??
