Old-fashioned roses easier to grow in some gardens
I grow roses but they have to be tough to make the cut in my garden. This means that I generally grow old garden roses, many of which are extremely fragrant. I leave those that require a regular spray program to look good and thrive for the serious rose growers. I have incorporated the roses I grow into my perennial garden. Climbers One that I added last spring is Rosa ‘Zephirine Drouhin.’ This old-fashioned climber dates to 1868 and is still popular today.

This translates to proper soil preparation and regular watering while they become established, which usually takes a full growing season. Grouping plants together with similar cultural needs makes it easier to maintain them and improves your chances of success. If you can find sources, now is an ideal time to plant. Here are a few to consider adding to your garden.
