All About Roses
by Steve Knapp
Who
doesn't love the most popular flowering plant on the planet, the
rose?
The beautiful rose can easily spark a conversation even among the
quietest of people. Nearly everyone can tell stories of
someone who
has grown a gorgeous rose garden - or perhaps of someone who couldn't.
Even small children know how beautiful and special roses are.
Visit
your local florist and you're likely to find dozens of colors, types,
and sizes of roses available. Roses would seem to be the most
popular
flower of all time. You can now buy various types of roses
almost
anywhere, from your local discount store, the supermarket, or even your
neighborhood convenience store.
For me, the colors are the most
appealing trait of the rose. Roses exist in a vast and varied
array of
rich and vibrant colors. However, I think I'm in the
minority. Most
people will tell you that the fragrance is what draws them to
roses.
The rose has a most distinctive aroma that is welcomed by nearly
everyone. The scent is like no other on earth,
which has led
manufacturers worldwide to reproduce it in perfumes air fresheners for
years. Not to mention the infinite assortment rose-scented
potpourri,
lotions, oils, and other bath products.
Growing your own rose
bushes can be very rewarding. You can choose from a wide
variety of
colors, sizes, and types. Prices will vary depending on where
you buy
and what type and size you select. When deciding
what type of rose
you'd like to plant, don't forget to consider its placement.
When
planting roses you'll want to keep in mind that most of them do have
thorns. Therefore, you might want to plant them away from
areas where
your small child or grandchild or other tiny visitor might happen upon
something so pretty that they can't resist grabbing and end up with
handful of thorns.
When planting climbing rose plants be sure
you won't have vines trailing across the ground to be stomped by
animals or other foot traffic. If your rose plant is the type
that
grows into a bush, you would want to place it in a spot that will allow
for it to spread without being crowded. Always pay close
attention to
the sunlight requirements of the roses you choose. While most
love
loads of direct sunlight, some roses are delicate and unfiltered light
would cook their leaves to an unwelcome brown.
Once you have
chosen your rose bush, plant it with care and spend just a few minutes
a week tending to its needs and you will be rewarded with a bounty of
beautiful, fragrant blooms for seasons to come! Visit www.PruneMyRoses.com for
all of the information you need to keep your rose garden healthy and
beautiful.
