Choosing the Right Rose for your Garden
Choosing the Right Rose for your Garden by Kevin Lim
The many different variety of roses do pose a problem for some. This is because you will have problem choosing the right rose for your garden
To make this task a bit easier, I've added some crucial factors that you should consider, and some of the different types of roses to aid in your search.
- Color may seem like a trivial matter, but it is usually a factor to those that want to grow roses. Usually it is simply a matter of personal preference.
- The final growth height of a rose should be considered as it would be unattractive to grow roses that are higher than the area of the garden that it grows in. Some roses can grow to be as high as 20 feet.
- If you live in an area that is prone to cold winters, you would certainly want a rose that could survive during the off season.
- If certain fragrances invoke an allergic reaction, you would want to plant roses that have a softer fragrance than the others.
- You would certainly want to learn what the advantages and disadvantages would be if you were to choose certain roses over others.
- You will want to consider the size of your garden space, so that you can ensure proper exposure to the air and other elements as well. - If you are hoping to make your roses into bouquets, you will want to know if they can be cut. Hybrid teas can. Some roses will fall apart at the petals if they are cut.
- Other flowers and plant should be consider to compliment the rose's environment. It is important not to add plant that will damage the environment that the rose thrived on.
After you get a sense of the type of roses that you would like to plant, you will naturally want to know which type of rose's best fit your ideas for planting.
There are too many to list here, but I can list some of them for you. You should consult your nearest garden center for advice on whether your choice is fitting to your garden's abilities.
Landscape roses
For novice gardener, land scape roses are good choice. They are disease resistant, and require a little bit less maintenance. Novice are advise against hybrid teas.
Climbing Roses These roses grow vertically up as they are trained to do so. This is the basic different compare to regular roses. Most people like to use these for trellises, or buildings. Some of them are hybrid teas, wichuraine, and large flowered climbers. These are beautiful addition to anyone's house.
Shrub Roses Shrub roses like the beautiful rugosa are both long blooming, and disease resistant. These are also great for the novice planter. They are gorgeous even when they are not in bloom because the foliage is so pretty.
Old Garden Roses These roses are not very good for those with severe allergies to strong fragrances because they have a strong fragrant odor. They can bloom for a prolong period if they are disease resistant.
The Modern Rose These are very special roses because they are the result of cross breeding the hybrid tea with the polyanthus. Floribunda is what they are being referred to. They are a beautiful combination of the best those two flowers have to offer. They are long blooming, fragrant, and they are great for cutting.
Miniature Roses
Miniature roses are exactly what they sound like. Even with a smaller blooms, they posses all the fragrance and beauty of any other roses. These particular roses are great for indoor planting.
