Introducing… Roses

01 Roses (Rosa) are a classic and instantly recognizable plant, ideal for almost every style

02 of garden. They flower abundantly from early summer in a choice of colors including pastel

03 shades of pink, peach, cream, or snowy-white; vibrant yellow and gold; orange, crimson or

04 red. Many roses are fragrant. Some types flower in one flush of blooms while others flower

05 all summer long. Some have colorful fruits (hips). Plants come in a range of forms, from

06 traditional shrubs and climbers to miniature plants for patio containers.

07 Roses have upright, arching, scrambling or trailing, usually prickly stems. Their leaves

08 are glossy and mid to dark green but occasionally grey-green. Flowers vary in shape and

09 include flat, cupped, rounded, urn-shaped, button-eye, pompon, and rosette. They grow

10 best in moisture-retentive, fertile, well-drained soils in a sunny position. They are very

11 responsive to mulching and feeding, and they won't thrive in dry, poor or waterlogged soil,

12 and few flowers are produced in shade.

13 There so many different types of roses that the choice can a little

14 overwhelming when you decide to start growing. To narrow down your options, you may

15 consider the type of flower, the size of the plant, and the kind of soil you have. With roses

16 in particular, the flowers themselves often the deciding factor, and it all down to

17 personal taste: do you want the large opulent blooms of an old-fashioned rose or something

18 more delicate and refined such as a Hybrid Tea rose? What color would work well with your

19 other plants? What type of scent do you prefer? Some roses have a fruity fragrance while

20 others have a musk or tea scent.

21 For all of these aspects, but especially fragrance, it’s best to see and smell the

22 fragrance of the plants in bloom before you buy – either at a garden center or nursery, or

23 when visiting gardens where they grow roses in abundance. You will also see the size of a

24 grown plant. Roses can range from compact types for patio containers to huge vigorous

25 ramblers that can grow through the branches of a tree. There are roses to suit almost every

26 planting site, so assess your particular conditions which may be shady, frost-prone, or have

27 a soil that may dry out in summer, then look for a rose that will thrive there.
