A Garden Rose is nothing more than a shrub with flowers on it. If you can garden, you can grow roses. This blog is about demystifying that roses are fussy and difficult plants to grow. Join us here and on our Rose Care You Tube Channel and learn that in fact Roses Are Plants Too.

About Me

My photo
Paul Zimmerman Roses
I've been growing roses for over 15 years. During that time I've run a rose care company, a rose nursery, been President of a rose society, written articles and simply raised roses for fun on my farm in upstate South Carolina.
