The Rose Garden

A Rose Garden With Red Roses, White Roses, and Yellow Roses

It is easy to grow roses. Mainly I buy the cheap ones from where ever and plant them. Put water and fertilizer on a rose bush and you will get a return of beautiful roses in almost any color. The rose bush to the left I bought for $1.98 on sale at K-Mart. It is at least fifteen feet tall now. I am far too disorganized to know the scientific names of the roses. When people ask, "What kind of rose is that." I reply with a straight face, "That is a red rose." Or a yellow rose or a white rose. Whatever the case may be. If you are on this page in hopes of learning how to grow roses. I can give you some tips. If you want the science you are going to have to check the links at the bottom of the page. There are about a million different kinds of roses and more new varieties every year. I look for the sales after the first bloom of planting is done and the garden stores start to have their sales.

Make no mistake. You do NOT have to be a Master Gardener to grow roses. You do NOT have to dump a ton of money into it for insecticides, fertilizer, and construction materials. For instance. I built the 6x8x8 rose arbor for about $75.00. They wanted over $300.00 for one a quarter of the size in the garden shops. All it takes are some 4x4's, cement, and sweat.
