Stress Relief Game

It is time to plant bare root roses
in most parts of the country. If
you have not pruned for winter,
you must be living in a warm
climate. Defintely prune ½ the
bush for hybrid tea, 2/3 bush
for floribunda and shape climbers
only by Valentine's Day for new
growth. There are more flowers
on new growth than “old wood.”

One of the best roses I have grown in quite some time is "Firefighter" from Edmunds Roses, an exclusive. It is not only a beautiful red color, but extremely fragrant, quite prolific, especially for a young plant, and tall growing, meaning is not only a garden rose but for cutting, too. In the rose rating by the American Rose Society, I gave it a 8.9, which is very high. After the next year of growing, I will see if it gets higher, but I was really impressed with this rose.

To learn more about this program, please go here.

A new rose that I have ordered is Maria Shriver, Grandiflora.

Height: 4-5'
Petals: 40 F
ragrance: Strong, citrus
Hybridizer: Dorieux, 2004

I would always recommend "Double Delight" and for a hedge, this miniature that grows to two feet tall: "Gourmet Popcorn." Don't wait until you can actually see the roses blooming. By the time they get that way, the Rosarians have picked over most of the good ones. In addition, I always recommend bare root planting, rather than in a pot. Perhaps they will start off slower, but they will become full plants just as quickly.
