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.

Bouquet caveat

Bouquets of roses are beautiful, but shrub roses grow new flowers from the ends of each stem. So when you cut longer stems to make bouquets, it will take longer for your landscape roses to regrow and rebloom.

The best way to use a shrub rose as a cut flower is to simply cut a single flower close to the base of the bloom and float it in a bowl.
