Rose Gardening Tips
It’s the beginning of winter, and I want to plant some flowers… any suggestions?

It hasn’t started freezing here yet, but it gets pretty cold at night. I live in southwest Washington. I just moved into a house that has no landscaping what so ever. I want to plant some flowers to spruce up the place, but I’m not exactly sure what to plant. I love Roses, and I love colorful flowers.

Not many plants GROW during the winter but there are plants that survive the winter. if you want annual flowers (ones that need to be re-planted each season) I’d say if you have sun plant Stock, Pansies, Violas, and Calendula. If you Have shade i would plant primrose or cyclamen.

You can plant all kinds of different shrubs that would look good during the winter but it depends on what your looking for in terms of a plant… THere are tall shrubs like Lavenders (which can be frost tender, meaning affected by cold), bottle brush, which has a nice combo of green leaves with red tints. You can add saliva’s like the culinary kind (salvia officianalis) this plant has nice foliage in shades of gray to purple. Even some deciduous (plants that lose there leaves) look good in a winterized garden, like red stem dogwoods, which have a red bark.

I suggest you planting bulbs. they are pretty much hassle free once you plant them. You can get varieties that bloom at different times of spring (early, mid, or late) I do a mix so i have blooms all spring.
Daffodils, Freesia, Tulips…

Hope this helps. there is so much information i can give you but i don’t want to over load you.

Rose Gardening Tips

Choosing The Right Roses For Your Rose Garden

As a child I remember picking out roses from my Grandma’s garden and smelling their beautiful scent all through the day. In fact, there were always roses in my Grandma’s home, she loved the flowers, and said they made her extremely happy. And why not? Roses have the ability to brighten up anyone’s day and they are, undoubtedly, extremely beautiful flowers with an amazingly beautiful smell.

Choosing Wisely

Taking tips from my grandma, when I moved into my own little house, I decided to have a rose garden all of my own. Designing a rose garden isn’t as Herculean a task as you might think it to be. In fact, you can go in for landscape roses; they make the exteriors of any house beautiful and appealing. The added bonus is the fragrance. The delicate fragrance wafting out from the roses is sure to bring a smile to your guests’ faces.

If you’re looking for the perfect roses for your garden, chances are, you won’t have a hard time at all because there are many different kinds of roses out there to suit every palette. But the problem is to choose the right roses for your landscape and the ones which will let you attain the right design.

You can also have a trellis against your wall and have the blossoms climb onto it. If, on the other hand you don’t have the facilities for a trellis, then you can always go in for a true climbing rose. The best part about these roses is that they allow you to train the plant in many different avatars and looks.

Landscaping Tips

If you are looking to design a rose garden which is full of vibrant splashes of colour, make sure that you choose flowers with colours that complement their surrounding landscape, it just won’t do to have shocking bursts of colour here and there! If you have a stone drive or a marble entranceway, then you’re best bet lies with a simple arrangement of pink roses. They make for a classy statement.

Or, you can also have white tea roses if you have a traditional cottage with brick red exteriors. If you have grey coloured walls then crimson roses make for a striking contrast and give your home an old world look and feel. Roses come in many colours; all you need to do is find the one which goes best with your home.

Apart from colour and appearance, you also need to keep in mind the growth requirements for the roses of your choice. But, not to worry, roses are flowers which can survive in a variety of climates so it won’t be hard for you to select a variety which can survive in your area. Have fun designing your rose garden!
