Roses and their Cultivation

Roses are generally frost hardy, vigorous plants...they love to thrive! However, they do have some soil and climatic preferences, and although prone to a few pests and diseases, these problems are lessened or prevented with the right planning and cultivation.

Roses prefer a temperate climate and most do best with a two month winter chill. They do not actually need exposure to a frost, just enough exposure to the cold to induce dormancy and proper bud formation. Light to moderate frosts help to kill off any over-wintering pests.
