Roses

[justontime]

I don't think roses are especially hard to grow, I don't have too much problem with mine. I like climbing roses best of all, when you are buying your plants make sure you know what the ones you choose will look like, roses come in all shapes and sizes so you need to be clear about what will suit your garden best

My brother bought my mother some miniature roses years ago. Those are roses that are not more than an inch in diameter when in bloom. She was living in a house at that time here in Arizona. When she sold the house she did not want to leave her roses. She dug them up and took them to my grandmother in California, near Santa Rosa area. The next year she went to visit my grandmother and the roses were about 3 inches in diameter in bloom. This just goes to show you that roses can floragish if they're taken care of.

You are quite welcome. Just let us know how your roses do. When they bloom, if you can upload a picture. I just love roses. I even learned how to make my own rose seeds. It's not an easy trick either.

Roses are my favorite.Frankly speaking I tried to grow them but did not succeed.
Well my unty has a big garden where there are different types of roses.So every
morning I take a long walk in the garden to enjoy the beauty of it.

When I moved to my house 20 years ago, I was a beginner gardener and bought roses and fruit trees and shade plants which I liked. I planted them with peat moss mixed into the soil and watered almost daily and most of them grew very happily.

If you have the time and inclination to study growing roses, do so. But if you want a head start, just plant a couple. My favorites are always ever-blooming perennial roses which grow over a rose arbor. Enjoy!

If you really want your own Rose Garden your best bet is to read up on the care and feeding of roses. They really are not that hard to grow. You just need to plant them correctly with the right soil mixture. They now have Rose "plant food" to make it even easier to grow them.

Is there a variety that is easier to grow, or are they all easy? I've heard they need a lot of water, is that true?

Soils with good drainage are best for rose growing. Avoid late evening watering, which could foster powdery mildew. Powdery mildew is a very common disease among roses. Rose growing in conditions where adequate spacing is not provided can foster powdery mildew, as well, don't plant them too closely together. Follow spacing requirements for each particular variety when purchasing rose bushes, as indicated on the plant label. Roses like six hours of sun per day.Six hours of morning sun is preferable to six hours of afternoon sun.
