Roses are probably one of the most prized flowers in a garden. There are so many types of roses that one could plant acres and acres of them and each rosebush could bear a different type of flower. The beauty and the fragrance of roses have been celebrated for many centuries, and they still hold a high stature in flower gardening today.
You have several choices to make if you are considering planting and growing roses. Firstly , you want to consider the climate in the area where you live. Roses grow the best in climates where temperatures never get too extreme either way, and they prefer soil that drains well.
Rosebushes are thirsty plants too, and she welcomes fairly long rainy seasons. If you live in an area which is hot and dry most of the time, try to find roses that have been bred to better withstand this type of dry climate. Rose breeders are constantly doing research to create hardier plants; roses that can withstand very cold or very hot climates.
Once you've found the type of rose that grows best in your area, then you will want to decide on color, scent, size, etc. There are some roses that have been bred with a focus on beauty, and they may not have strong scent as some others roses. Other types of roses give off such a strong scent that they can saturate your entire yard with their sweet rose fragrance. It is just a matter of preference, but most rose gardeners try to find something somewhere in the middle.
The beauty of roses is that you have so many colors from which to choose from that you are guaranteed to find exactly what you are looking for. The right choice of rose will accentuate your yard and home in a beautiful way that one can only imagine.
