How to care for roses (Part 2)

April 25th, 2007

Miniature roses have small tiny flowers, and are only 10 to 36 inches tall. These small flowers are ideal for growing in pots.
Bush roses, including all possible types, and ground-cover or landscape roses, are as a rule large and leafy.
Climbers grow from 2,13 meters to 9,14 meters in length, and most of them need some support.
Tree roses, or standards, are roses that grow in tree-like form with a single trunk and a rounded bush or weeping display of flowers on top.
Cold countries` gardeners need to know exactly how hardy their rose is. Gardeners in warmer places must also watch to see what zones are recommended for each particular type, because some roses do not grow well in hot or humid weather.
Many roses, especially well-known old varieties, have just one blooming in a year. Think over the period of blooming and chose those, blooming for 3 weeks or the whole summer.
Selecting roses resistant to diseases is the only effective way to avoid problems and huge need for chemicals. You can look for many modern roses, which are now being bred for improved disease resistance.
