Rose Gardening 101: What to Know Before You Plant

Passion & Patience

Roses are like children—need feeding, pruning, disease monitoring, and yes, talking to them helps. Embrace the dirt; gloves optional.

Mulch, spade, hoe, weed killer, watering can/hose, rose food, band-aids (thorns!).

Research online, join a club, visit library, find a mentor. Grow enough to share—roses aren’t meant for solitary enjoyment.
