I thought I would give the advice that I wish I could go back
in time and give my younger self, related to rose growing; and also to get me
started toward what I hope to eventually do, which is to sell roses, and breed
them. I will start with the general advice and then the advice specific to me.
Not necessarily in order of importance.
The video can be seen here: https://youtu.be/_ktC5K7rDkg
Advice points given in the video:
Roses can't read.
Don't go chasing roses.
The rose that you are growing isn't necessarily always replaceable in the future.
Take cuttings and/or dig suckers.
Chemicals or not.
Get involved with the rose industry.
The advice points that I would give specific to me and what I wanted my goals to be are:
Make a plan.
Take cuttings to sell.
Sell in farmer's markets.
Start breeding now.
