Rose Care. general hints and advice about caring for your roses.

There seems to be a lot of mystique about growing roses - mainly because of the history of rose growing. For decades it was seen as the essential for large gardens and estates - beyond the average home owner.

No longer - though the tag lingers on. Roses are for everyone, and they really are quite simple to look after. They might need a little bit of extra care to many other shrubs, but the care they need is quite simple - and need not be time-consuming.
