Hybrid Tea Roses
Hybrid Tea roses are still one of the most popularly grown roses. With their long stems, wonderful colour range and abundant and long blooming period, these roses are only just over 100 years old.
Most are vigorous and strong growers with a compact habit and require very little maintenance. Although some are thornless, most have large thorns.



Floribunda Roses
The floribunda roses bloom almost continuously and can survive without winter protection in all but the harshest winter conditions.
Most have pointed buds and high centered blossoms and are often heavily doubled. They form compact and well-shaped bushes, have smaller thorns generally than the hybrid teas and make excellent hedges and good cut flowers.



Floribunda Hybrid Tea Roses
Floribunda hybrid tea roses combine the best attributes of Hybrid tea and Floribunda varieties. Most flower almost continuously, are very hardy and an excellent blooming habit.
They share a similar colour range as the parents and are generally taller. They make wonderful cut flowers due to their long, strong stems and make great informal hedges.



Climbing Roses
Climbing roses are not able to climb without suitable support as they do not cling, or have tendrils with which to support themselves.
Climbers encompass many types, and are often of the large flowering varieties which bloom in loose clusters of 5-15 blooms.
Most are disease resistant and will survive without winter protection. Climbing roses are at their best against walls, on special frames built for the purpose and growing along fences. Please see our selection of trellises for your climbing rose.



Miniature Roses
Miniature roses have become so popular in recent years for growing in pots, on balconies, on window sills, in beds and borders and in rock gardens.
All colours are supported, and most have little fragrance. They are usually very hardy plants and most can survive bleak winter conditions without shelter. View our selection of pots for container gardening.



Soil Preparation
The ideal soil for roses is a crumbly-loam with a subsoil of clay to hold moisture for the roots.
If your soils tends to be sandy it will be necessary to dig-in quantities of compost to improve the ability to hold moisture and food. Sandy soils tend to allow leaching of plant food and require more frequent watering.



Planting
Plant in winter, or if container grown, anytime with care. Soak the roots or pot in a bucket of water prior to planting and until wet through.
Plant with the crown or bud union at ground level and spread the roots out carefully. Cover the roots with a good top soil and firm down by hand.
Water well and keep the soil damp, but not wet, for the next couple of weeks. Dont feed at this time, and until new growth is evident.

Feeding
Never overfeed your roses as overfeeding can be more harmful than underfeeding.
Roses generally should be fed in late winter to early spring after pruning, then again in late summer to stimulate new autumn growth.
When feeding roses make sure that the surrounding soil is well watered, then feed sparingly with a good fast-acting rose food available from your local supermarket or plant centre. About a small handful per plant, sprinkled below the outer foliage line is quite sufficient. Water well in and keep the soil moist for the next two weeks.

Pruning
Maintain your plants in good shape by removing old canes at any time and by giving your roses a general prune after the flowering period.
There is no magic formulae for pruning your plants, just a good deal of common sense. Many books and articles have been written about the art of pruning, however follow the simple guidelines and suggestions from the pruning section and you wont go far wrong.

Pests and Diseases
Aphids and Thrips are the main troublesome pests of roses. Although there are many chemical sprays available to rid your plants of these pests, it is always better to use natural remedies and allow natural predators to do their work.
Please see our bug pages for more resources.

Black-spot and powdery-mildew are the main diseases of roses and both are of the fungal variety. The systemic chemical BENLATE is an effective treatment, however use according to the instructions on the container AND WITH GREAT CARE!!!

I CAN NEVER OVER-STRESS THE IMPORTANCE OF USING CHEMICALS WITH EXTREME CARE. THEY CAN BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO YOUR HEALTH, YOUR CHILDRENS HEALTH AND TO THE WILDLIFE IF NOT USED CORRECTLY. IF UNSURE----------DONT USE THEM!!!

The Rose: The Queen of Flowers

(ARA) - It's summer and roses are blooming all over. During the summer months, this ever-popular flower is at the height of blossoming. And with plenty of sunshine and good growing conditions, roses can add elegance to any landscape.

America is one great rose garden. These intriguing, addictive plants thrive in every growing zone, from the dry heat of the Southwest to the cool damp of the Pacific Northwest to the protective snow pack of the Northeast. They combine their exceptional beauty with durable versatility.

So forget the scary stories about temperamental, delicate plants. Roses are sturdy, unfussy garden additions. Get started with roses by consulting a basic handbook on varieties and essential care. Roses are now available in an astonishing variety of sizes, shapes, and colors. Visit local nurseries and botanical gardens for a look at living plants. Evaluate your site for soil and light and for the effect you desire: Do you want a rose hedge or climbers for a fence, for example.

There are volumes of theories on rose care, but you can begin on the assumption that roses require sun and water. Choose a site with moist, well-drained soil, preferably in full sun, and provide plenty of water and nutrients.

Enjoy the fruits of your labor during summertime gatherings. Fresh cut roses are the perfect addition to any celebration. Mixing red, yellow, pink and peach roses in a colored glass vase or stylish ceramic container adds elegance and charm. For cut roses:

-- Remove any leaves from the roses that might fall below the waterline when placed in the vase, as they will promote bacterial growth.

-- To extend the life of the roses, use a sharp knife or shears to cut an inch from the bottom of the stem while holding it under water. Cutting stems under water prevents air from blocking the flow of water to the head of the bud.

-- Place roses loosely, yet evenly spaced in the vase

-- Place the vase in a cool spot, away from direct sunlight and appliances that give off heat.

-- Add warm water to the vase every day. Always keep the vase full.
