Rose advice

 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.
