We have noticed that over the last 20 years the world has gone mad on Roses. After a decline following the second world war, Roses seem to be back in favour. With all of the modern Hybrid Tea Roses in production there is certainly a huge amount to choose from.
Most gardens have special beds set aside for the growing of Roses, whether they are the modern H.T. types, the old favourites like shrub roses and the very quaint fairy or miniature roses, all are most suited to any growing conditions.
It is a most wonderful thing for a writer to be able to sit outside on a warm June day, in a garden where the wind is blowing softly and the perfume of rose blossoms mingles with the scent of a recently mown lawn, summer is defiantly on its way.
It would seem that we have the Rose fascination again, and how better can spare time be spent? Rose growing brings fresh beauty into sordid lives. And intensifies the interest of those that are already full.
Chance moments snatched from busy days, long working hours, how nice it is to be repaid in full and with interest just for a few hours in the autumn planting your new Rose bushes.
The Rose has increased appreciation of the beautiful, which is brought home to the Rose grower in mid summer, also, perhaps, to those who have never felt the magick attraction of these perfumed rose flowers. The rose grower is a special person who feels closer to nature.
For is it not true that many can trace their love of gardening, which rightly regarded, is no more, no less, than a practical demonstration of a real, abiding love for flowers, from the time when the rose, the queen of flowers, made her first appeal?
Many of us have been equally fascinated, and while nothing else has been able to drag us from our beds at sin in the morning, the rose has done it, and many of us now regard it as the most natural thing in the world that our roses should be first care at the beginning of each new day.
As in rose growing, or growing everything else, one has to begin at the soil, for it is the soil that nourishes the roots, the roots that feed the leaves, the leaves that support the blossoms.
Take care of the soil, might I say, and the flowers will take care of themselves. Preparation and planting is the overwhelming issue for a very productive rose bush to thrive.
