Fairy Rose is also on of these easy to grow roses.

Fairy Rose is also on of these easy to grow roses. It is what rose gardeners refer to as a dwarf rose which only grows to lengths of two to three feet. Do not let this name fool you, Fairy Rose grows closely to ground and blankets quite a bit of area. It also blooms magnificently throughout year even through harsh months of July and August. Beware of monstrous thorns on this one. This is one, and only deterrent I can think of to growing this one. The thorns make this plant a little more of a challenge to prune and care for but if you are willing to take it on, it can offer some eye-popping results during bloom. Overall, Fairy Rose still has my thumbs up because of over top bloom power that it has.

The butterfly rose is also a great pick.

Mutablis (otherwise known as butterfly rose) is my last pick of these easy to grow roses. It, like some of others, blooms constantly throughout year. The flowers change colors as they develop and this is a unique property that I have only observed in one other rose. The petals begin as a delicate yellow, turn to an orange color, then change to pink, and finally wind up a deep and vibrant red color. This rose is also resistant to disease and is definitely a very hardy grower.

These are just a few of roses that are easy to bloom and are therefore great starter roses for any rose garden. You offer yourself opportunity to become familiar with roses and general terms and aspects of rose gardening without becoming heavily involved by choosing a rose that is simple and easy to grow to begin your garden with. As your skill and understanding of roses develops, you can then move onto bigger challenges by planting some of more difficult to grow roses in your garden.

You can plant roses in fall or spring, but fall is actually best. When planting roses, inspect roots to make sure they have not dried and if they have make sure you soak them before planting. Trim back any roots that are weak, long or broken.

Set plant in a hole that is large enough so that roots can spread. The part of plant where top attaches to roots (called bud) should be just under surface of ground. Plants should be spaced 18” apart. Prune branches back to about 8” from soil.

To grow good roses it is necessary to cultivate, to prune and to spray. If you have a well-cultivated bed you need not worry about watering. But if you start to water in hot weather, you must keep it up, soaking roots thoroughly about once a week.

Spraying every 10 days guards against diseases and insects that attack roses. Nicotine sulphate wipes out green lice; arsenate of lead is used against chewing insects; or sulphur and arsenate of lead may be used in a dust, as may DDT dust.

When winter approaches, protect your roses by piling sod or straw mulch around them. If you have climbing roses, remove supports and place canes on ground, peg them, and cover with soil mounds.
