A tour of the snow in the rose garden. A note about the split cane, I will probably remove it sooner than later to try to avoid disease and other stuff getting into the rose plant. You can get the video here:
About roses that I have grown in Georgia, Oregon, and Missouri. Also about those that I have seen in public gardens, cemeteries, botanical gardens. The blog also contains videos, and links to posts on facebook, and a link to the merchandise store.

Thoughts on winter, gardens and things that you can do in the garden in the future
Just some thoughts about what you can do in the winter in the rose garden, plus thoughts about incorporating other plants into the rose garden, such as annual flowers and veggies. I will be incorporating veggies into my rose garden, so stay tuned. See the video here:

To play on the theme of Charles Dickens' Christmas Carol, I put together a slideshow of roses in graveyards from the past, present and what the future could be.
Merry Christmas everyone!

More affordable rose nurseries
I was visiting a website of one of the rose nurseries that I use and discovered that they raised their prices on most of the roses by $6, which is above my price ceiling. I made a video of rose nurseries that, mostly have roses $25 and under. You can see the video here:
So there is no confusion, I am not trying to bash that particular nursery, it is just pricier than my budget allows for.
Here are the nurseries that I mentioned in the video:
Antique Rose Emporium- a good nursery, based in Texas, good healthy rose plants.
High Country Roses- a great rose nursery, the owner is great to work with and remembers conversations, good roses sent out.
A Reverence for Roses- a good nursery, owner reached out when there were shipping issues, great plants received.
Long Ago Roses- good nursery, owner stays in touch during the growing and shipping process, good plants.
Rose Petals Nursery, Angel Gardens, Roses Unlimited, and Burlington Roses are nurseries that I have not used and can not give a review on.

Roses can't afford this... and neither can we
There is a serious problem in the green industry. It isn't interested in roses. Knockout roses and to a lesser extent drift roses are major marketed brands, which is why they are so dominant in the garden centers.
I think that if we aren't careful then all that is going to be left to grow in the future.
There are ways to spread roses and preserve roses. In this video I mention a few.
