ROSES

Few flowers can match the beauty of a rose bush in full bloom! They take a bit of work but each year more new easy-care roses are introduced to the market for you to choose from.  Keep in mind that as a hardy shrub, a rose plant takes three years to reach mature size.  Choose a location where your rose will get at least the six hours or more of direct sunlight everyday that it needs.  Many varieties of roses will reward you with blooms from June through October.

Taylor Nursery stocks roses from April throughout the summer.
• Recommended products to help you grow roses more easily:
• Complete Planting Mix - Contains everything you need (compost, peat moss and topsoil) to plant your new rose bushes.
• Mulching-- 2”to 3” deep, helps keep the soil moist and cool and  prevents soil from splashing up onto the underside of the foliage when watering or during rainfall.

CONFUSED ABOUT DIFFERENT TYPES OF ROSES? THIS WILL HELP!

Climbing
With prickly, arching, stiff stems these roses are vigorous growers. The foliage is often dense, glossy, dark green. Keep in mind that these are not true vining plants. They have no tendrils or aerial roots and must be trained onto a strong support structure.

English
A shrub rose with prickly, sturdy stems that produce fragrant re-blooming flowers. Often used as a flowering hedge, it fans out, blooming from the bottom to the top. Removing spent blooms will provide up to three or four flushes of flowers each season. These are bred for vigor and superb garden performance.

Floribunda
A classic ever-blooming rose selection with free branching prickly stems. The medium sized, oval foliage is dark green. The clustered blooms are large and produced throughout the season. Although the flowers are smaller than a hybrid tea rose, this is a very bushy vigorous plant best used in mass plantings. On average they reach 3’ to 5’ in height.

Grandiflora
A shrub rose which tends to bloom in clusters. Some varieties are derived from a cross between a hybrid tea and a floribunda rose. The foliage is glossy to matte, mid to dark green. They are excellent cut flowers. Often used as hedges and barrier plants. On average they reach 5’ to 7’ in height.

Groundcover
These vigorous low growing plants are considered disease resistant. With a profusion of blooms in mass planting they provide an excellent soil cover. The foliage is glossy and medium in size. On average they reach 2’ in height.

Hybrid Tea
This is the largest collection of rose plants. Many varieties are sold under the category of hybrid tea, read labels carefully to make the best selection. These are large shapely plants producing one flower per stem. On average they reach 3’ to 6’ in height.
