Rose Gardeners

The Rose Gardener

Roses are among the most popular flowers to grow in the garden.   The Rose-gardener works extremely hard for most of the year to produce a fantastic show in the garden. A lot of roses bloom through from about May until the first frosts. Here in England, during a mild winter, I have had roses in bloom on Christmas day.

There is a huge variety of roses and there is something to suit most gardeners. There are the very small patio roses that are grown in tubs and adorn the outdoor seating areas as well as giving off their lovely scent. The Hybrid T roses with their showy blooms are every popular with Rose Gardeners and are often grown for the many shows and competitions
