It is one that particularly struck me from a thread. Color with a capital. Luckily for us, there are many orange roses included. They seemed kind of garish. As soon as I find a spot for it, it is MINE! (Oh! not Jeanne's, I'm buying my own.) This beautiful...
No, we rose rustlers don't make a practice of stealing other people's roses, as if they were so many mavericks! We just root cuttings of heirloom types--usually found on abandoned farms or in old cemeteries--that may be in danger of dying out.
After I decided to add 'Peace' to the rose garden, I realized how many roses there are related to the original 'Peace' or with peace in the name. So I have a small 'Peace Garden' and couldn't pass up this beauty when I found it own-root.'Sunsprite' [Kordes,...
As with most shrubs, it blooms in clusters of smaller, 2.5" blooms all season. It blooms all season with large (30-35 petaled) blossoms on a 3'-4' bush. An unusual deep purple with 4", 26-40 petaled blooms, 'Ebb Tide' is good plant for the front of the...

I had a few short cuttings last fall and buried them with two nodes, while leaving two nodes (in one case, I left only one node) outside. Finally, I guess Minnie was trying to teach me new ways of planting rose cuttings, but I was too silly to understand.
In 1937, Moore opened Sequoia Nursery in Visalia, California. There is a house that fronts the property where he lives and will continue to do so as long as he wishes, after which it will belong to his son, Keith, who will move it.Most of the research...
Both are members of the Dogbane family, but they reside in different genera and are very different plants. Is yellow oleander poisonous? If you want to grow this plant, it's nice to know that yellow oleander care is not difficult nor time consuming.
Also the rugosas would generally be large enough to provide some protection to smaller hybrid teas and floribundas. In searching for the Peace-related roses to purchase for this garden, I found there were quite a few descendents of the original 'Peace'...
It is always a better idea, when possible, not to disrupt your airflow.Take into consideration, the possibility that during a fire this may also be your escape route (so it is probably a good idea to leave out the alligator filled moat).You will also...

Never.I walked outside on October 20, and there it was, blooming just like it owned the place. And it was the prettiest rosy pink you ever did see. Not by a long shot. No. Then I took a look at what was left of my redbud tree.
A rugged wild plant, this rose grows wild on coastlines and sand dunes and is commonly called beach tomato, sea tomato, saltspray rose and beach rose. Floral patterns have been used to decorate just about everything and appear almost everywhere.They have...

The others are pictured below; 'Barkarole', aka 'Taboo', and 'Baccara'. I hope you have enjoyed the journey as much as I have. We who love roses hear it now and again. All right, I'm willing to concede (reluctantly...I'm stubborn) that just because it's...

So even more important than discovering that the blooms of 'Zephirine Drouhin' were a gorgeous clear pink was reading that they had a delicious "old fashioned rose" scent. It's not immune to common rose problems, but it's definitely more tolerant than...
