my new rose garden

[momofdrew]

We have taken the area that the old 18 ft pool was in and turned it into my rose garden... went to the greenhouse yesterday and bought my first 3 shrubs... an apricot-yellow called Tamora... a miniture yellow called Texas and a white florabunda called Iceberg...I haven't grown roses in almost 20 years since I moved to NH...I hope they do well in this zone...

I really want a rose garden but I heard they were lots of work.

I have grown Tamora and Iceberg here in MN, zone 4. They both survived our winter with very little protection. I typically plant them deep, mound soil around the base to about 9 inches in the fall and prune pretty drastically to avoid too much whipping in the winter wind. I've had these roses now for over 8 years in my garden. Tamora is a particular favorite of mine. Have fun!
