‘Roses For Every Garden’. That’s the title of my presentation at the Chicago Flower & Garden at Navy Pier in March. Today, more than ever ‘roses’ are a growing category that covers ‘a lot of ground’; from shrubs to trees. Education is your key to success. Planning your rose garden is enjoyable and it opens the door to everything you dreamed your rose garden could be.

Definition of a Rose Garden

“A rose garden is a gathering place created by planting two or more rose bushes making a tapestry of nature’s color, design and fragrance a symphony of serenity to all that wander in.” Susan Fox

Shovel Pruning Is Part Of The Plan

Right now in a good part of the country if you are having a late spring you can still evaluate your roses.

If You Don’t Have ‘Em – Get ‘Em!

If you don’t have these roses and you are out in the garden centers and see the roses described in this article get them because most of the bare root sellers are sold out.
