Romancing The Rose

Deliciously fragrant, romantic and rich in nostalgic overtone, roses have a classic beauty that cannot fail to enchant. It is one of the loveliest of flowers, with clusters of delicate petals ranging from sultry crimson, velvety purple or rich gold to crystal white. But roses are far more than pretty blooms: they are also excellent value for money, outperforming virtually any other flowering plant. In return, roses need sunshine, feeding, pruning and rich, well-drained soil. And there are roses to suit virtually every garden situation, ranging from ground-hugging miniatures, bushes and elegant standards to rampant climbers. Forming a huge family, roses embrace old garden roses, hybrid teas, English roses, floribundas, standards, miniatures, ground cover, climbers and ramblers.
