The Cultivation of the Rose

We always receive a lot of questions about the requirements of growing roses. This tutorial is designed to hopefully seperate myth from fact, and to clear up any confusion that may surround the cultivation of the Rose. Please note that some of these instructions are intended specifically for those who grow roses in our local area (Western Pennsylvania, zones 5 and colder). Note also that these instructions relate only to Hybrid Teas, Grandifloras, Floribundas, and their larger brethren. Miniature roses require much the same care as these, but will be covered in an upcoming essay.

Please note that, for the foreseeable future, Rustic Hideaway will no longer be stocking rose bushes.
