Roses Made Easy
Don't be afraid to grow roses. New varieties are so easy, you can just plant them and enjoy the boost of color they give your garden from late spring through fall.
Visit public rose gardens
Public rose gardens are abundant in the Midwest. To see wide-ranging displays, visit:
-- Reiman Gardens in Ames, Iowa, known for its collection of roses created by the late Iowa State University hybridizer Griffith Buck (an important pioneer of hardy, easy-care shrub roses)
-- The rose garden at the Chicago Botanic Garden in Glencoe, Illinois
-- The rose garden at Olbrich Botanical Gardens in Madison, Wisconsin
