Congratulations on a wonderful show! "A rose is a rose is a rose..." Gertrude Stein. Always beautiful, always unique, roses are a true joy. This year, the plunge is mine and 1 have decided to try my luck at planting and growing these flowers of "royalty, love and romance.," Roses fall into six main categories..hybrid teas, floribun- das, grandifloras, miniatures, shrubs and climbing roses. Consult your nursery staff first. It is worth looking into. Make sure you get the proper information and assistance when planting and caring for roses. Over the next three weeks or so (depending on the weather), will most likely be a suitable time for planting..particularly when the buds are just beginning to come out. Here are a few spring tips: In April, gradually remove protective soil around your roses; prune the blackened portions of stems, just above an outward facing bud, then fertilize. Again, check it out - plant the right way. Rewards will be plenty! plenty! Wish me luck!
