Roses Are For Everyone

Location: Colonie

Overview: Roses are perhaps some of the most beautiful and sought after plants all across the world and they are probably the most misunderstood and undervalued plants in the modern landscape. Most people seem to believe that all garden roses are troublesome, frail plants that need to be pampered and fussed over with weekly sprays and frequent fertilizing. While this can be true for the devoted, exhibitor, it simply does not have to be the case for the average gardener.

Topics: philosophy for growing roses • major rose classifications • how to plant them for success, and routine care • types of rose gardens, including roses in the landscape and by themselves • a year in the rose garden • roses that grow well in our region

Instructor: Ralph Vincent is a member of the American Rose Society. He can often be found in his display rose garden featuring over 100 roses that do extremely well in this area. As a passionate local gardener, he has some very practical care tips and techniques, saving you the some of the most avoidable mistakes.
