Which Roses To Buy...

Well today I'm going to share some information with you about selecting a rose to buy.

Selecting the right roses for your garden may seem like a daunting task because there are so many kinds. But just like travellers believe that half the fun is getting there, rose growers enjoy poring over books, leafing through catalogues, and visiting shows and gardens in search of unfamiliar varieties. Although these activities are fun in themselves, dedicated gardeners know that extra effort spent in making the right choice is the key to a long and happy relationship with plants.

Landscape Needs, Site, and Uses

Many of your decisions about which roses to buy and plant will depend on your landscaping needs. Fences and trellises call for climbers, while cutting gardens need hybrid teas and grandifloras. Shrub borders are ideal for floribundas and shrub roses, while small gardens are great for miniatures. If you prefer a low-maintenance garden, old garden roses will serve your site well.

In addition to choosing roses for their landscape value, you want to select those that grow well in your area because many varieties have trouble in very cold or hot regions, or are susceptible to local diseases like as black spot.

Should also consider the uses to which your roses will be put — for example, whether for exhibiting or flower arranging. Certain rose varieties far surpass others in flower form, length of bloom, and other pertinent traits.

Above all, you should plant what you love and enjoy. if you love fragrant roses, or roses of a certain color, blooming pattern, or growth habit, include them in your garden. The only person you're out to impress is yourself… make sure your roses are a reflection of your tastes, and you can't go wrong.
