The Rose Garden

The Rose Garden

There are hundreds of roses in cultivation today. (I'm being conservative. There may well be thousands.)

When you consider all the forms this greatly beloved plant can take, from miniature roses less than a foot tall which you can grow in a pot on a sunny windowsill to old garden ramblers like, Lady Banks a specimen of which has grown to cover 8 meters in Arizona.

Roses come in every color except true blue and black (give the breeders time--they have come darn close to breeding a black rose and I have no doubt that they will achieve this). There are bi-colors, blends and even the occasional stripe.

You can grow Hybrid Tea roses for cutting or exhibition, groundcover roses to blanket bare areas in bloom or Shrub roses for low maintenance garden display.

When you consider the breadth and depth of the world of rose gardening caring for roses, is it any wonder that questions will arise?
