Roses That Are Right For You

There is something really special about roses - a climber
covering an entire wall is one of the nicest surprises a
garden can hold. It is more than just the look, approach
them and often the smell is overwhelming - you simply need
to cradle a flower head gently in your hand and take deep
gulps of scent. There are plenty of flowers that are great
to look at, but precious few that have the smell and the
looks that roses do.

If you are thinking of growing roses in your garden and are
overwhelmed by the varieties available it is a good tip to
first think how you may want to use roses in your garden.

Shrub roses are great if you do not have a lot of time to
spend caring for your garden as they do not need much
pruning. Also they are not prone to diseases like some of
the other types, and seem to be happy in most climates.
Furthermore, they have a fairly extensive season so you can
enjoy them for longer.

The hybrid tea rose is the type that are traditionally
given on the day of St Valentine, and for other special
occasions. Each stem has a single flower, and the length of
the stem means they are perfect for use as cut displays.
They come in a huge number of colors and all sorts of
varieties.

Ground cover roses, as the name suggests, are perfect to
fill that blank spot in any garden. They will also take off
up a nearby fence or wall, giving a lovely effect. Though
they spread across the floor very effectively, ground cover
varieties stop once they have got twenty or so inches up a
wall, so if you actually want them to cover higher up you
should go for a climber. Within this group you can find
plants that stop at seven feet up or ones that push on up
to twenty feet! This is also the variety that can be easily
trained and that can cover archways to fantastic effect.

Of all roses, none has more flower than the floribunda.
They have large flower heads to start with, and each stem
can have several heads. An entire bed dedicated to this
showplant can really do the trick, or they are equally
happy stealing the limelight in a mixed border!

For those who find the floribunda over the top and the
hybrid tea too formal, their is the grandiflora. Some
varieties are single stem, single flower head, but others
have more than one flower per stem. Again the choice of
colors is everything you could hope for.

If you're not lucky enough to have a garden but instead
have a patio or balcony it doesn't mean that you have to
abandon the idea of roses completely. Miniature roses are
perfect for growing in containers as they can get lost in
the scale of a larger garden. The perfect flower-heads are
small between half an inch and two inches and the plants
usually grow about 2 feet high. This variety too has many
types and colors.

In terms of growing conditions, the rose generally
appreciates sun and ventilation. Follow the hints and you
too can have beautiful roses featured in your garden. Just
watch the joy of the people passing by, smelling and
admiring your roses.
