Heading out tonight to speak on Easy Care Roses. Nothing is associated  with the cultivated garden more than a rose, and planting disease resistant own root hardy choices is the way to go for sustainable gardening. Roses that require no chemical  spraying, extra watering or pruning are also easy on your wallet and back, and a little forethought before planting just any ole rose will pay you back in flowers for years to come.

A few of the roses I recommend for here in New england are any in the Kordes Fairy Tale series  including this one clled Lion’s Fairy Tale….dreamy , no?
