Nothing can compare to a rose. The tempting fragrance that emanates from a rose, is irresistable enough to risk getting your nose stung by a pollinating bee, or some other type of insect as you breathe in its aroma. It matters little whether it's a wild garden rose, an old rose, or a modern vatiety; they are wonderful to look at, and a delight to your olfactory senses. If you're wondering, now that you've planted your new rosebush, how you can get more roses to bloom for a couple of years, then take this rose advice to heart, and deadhead them.

 Many beginners to the hobby of rose gardening think that they will have to take time to pamper and babysit their flowers. It's a myth that all roses are delicate and apt to expire in the first breeze. Most people are happily relieved to find out that roses really require comparatively little care. Unless your goal is to cultivate roses for exhibition, they are relatively easy to grow, and they can add a measure of joy to your life as they are lovely to look at and heavenly to smell. |

Not Your Grandma's Heirlooms: Three Things to Know about Heirloom Roses
What precisely, are heirloom roses? Heirloom roses (sometimes referred to as old or antique) are all the varieties of roses that were known prior to 1867 when the first hybrid tea rose was developed in France. The heirloom roses became less desirable to gardeners because they did not repeat blooms as the new roses did. Even today, many gardeners still see these antique roses as somehow inferior to modern roses. Heirloom roses only show blossoms for two weeks to a month at the beginning of summer, whereas modern roses bloom several times throughout the season. When heirloom roses bloom though, they do so in abundance and the scent is no less than heavenly. |

If you'd love to grow roses, but don't feel you have the room or sufficient time to look after them, then container roses might be the answer for you!
1. Location, Location, Location!
There are many good reasons for growing roses in containers. If you live in an apartment and don't have a yard to garden in, they are the perfect answer. They can also be put on a patio or moved around to suit your decorative needs. It is really a breeze to relocate or move container roses as long as you're gentle, although some of the bigger containers can be quite heavy once filled with soil and the plants. With very large containers, be sure you have them situated before you start planting. You can also turn the containers regularly so each side of your plant gets enough light exposure. |

There is not a whole lot of roses that enjoy being in the shade. Miniature roses and some climbing and shrub roses are usually fairly shade tolerant, as roses grow. Most roses prefer to have five to six hours in the sun. However, it is feasible to detect some rose varieties that do okay in partial shade. You can not find a rose variety which thrives in full shade, however. This is because roses need the sun just as much as they require water. Which is quite a bit.
