Roses have been the favorite flower of people
throughout the world for thousands of years. They have an unwarranted
reputation for being difficult to grow. The five basic requirements for
successful rose gardening are soil, sun, air circulation, water, and
protection. A knowledge of the specifics of each of these basics makes rose
growing easy. Roses require more time and attention than other plants in the
landscape garden, but the rewards are greater in terms of color, fragrance,
and beauty.
