There is good reason for it's popularity. I spent some time looking for hybrid rugosas, especially yellows. I bought it own-root instead of getting a grafted plant. It's almost as if they have grabbed the sun and brought a piece of it to share with you.
Another of the purples with that spicy clove fragrance, this one is a season-long rebloomer. With a fragrance like myrrh and anise, the 3.5" to 4" blooms have 40 petals. And some of the most beautiful roses.

The story of the nativity, Christmas trees, stockings, St. Nicholas, snow, menorahs, dradles just to name a few. This is the best time of year to reflect one's blessings and connect with the stories of our fellow human.
The only two left were those from the small fence I have around the garden, in a partially shadowed area - which is why Minnie probably didn't notice them, or so I thought. The cutting will root on every node, that's why more nodes will assure a better...
When he was in high school, young Ralph studied pictures in catalogs and taught himself how to propagate roses which he sold to local nurseries. On April 30th it closes forever. On January 14, 2007, he celebrated his 100th birthday at the Visalia Convention...
I have painted it's portrait because it captured me. I am treating the larger beds, 'Dawn Garden' and 'Sunset Garden', as circular beds because they can be viewed from all sides. My dear mother-in-law was a rose lover whose name was also Rose.
This particular rose is available commercially from most nurseries, Wal-Mart and K-Mart department stores.One possibility for a ground floor window is to build a screen of lattice work and then plant a thorny vine on it.

One area of design we may not notice is on dinnerware. Floral patterns have been used to decorate just about everything and appear almost everywhere.They have been used so extensively, that we take them for granted even though we pass them by everyday.
This tolerance is great for those who want to place a hedge of roses next to a road that gets salt in the wintertime.Rugosas will generally send out suckers and slowly expand their range.
Is there a black rose? Orange You Beautiful? I've heard of those wanting to plant a black and white garden. My question is, why would you want a black rose? I suppose it would be a novelty.
I asked if I could later have a picture taken with him, and he agreed. When I entered the banquet room, the only available seat was at a table near the front of the room. His home was nestled alongside a racetrack and from a very early age he was surrounded...

Reconsider! 'Zephirine Drouhin' just may be the rose for you. When I saw the first bloom forming on my new rose, I couldn't wait to shove my nose into it. We've planted them in much shadier locations in our parents' yards, and their reports agree with...
I found people who had other old garden roses that they were willing to share. There are some very old roses here that were brought from England in the 1600s by the ancesters of the family from whom we bought the place.
Albas can withstand fairly severe winters, but do not do as well where winters are extremely mild (or non-existent.)My alba is planted in full sun, but it is reported that they can grow well in conditions that are shadier.
Pick a spot that gets at least several hours of sunlight. I like to leave a little depression, kind of like a moat, for the first watering, then fill the rest of the way after it has soaked in.Most mini roses are not grafted so there is no need to worry...
This gives any new growth time to harden off before the first frost hits.Between these applications I make an alfalfa tea and apply every 2-3 weeks. I add compost and a handful of bone meal or super phosphate to the planting hole.After the first bloom...
