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.
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:
A slideshow of some roses that were in a few cemeteries. However with perpetual care maintenance in cemeteries, the roses may become a thing of the past. Check out the video here:

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!
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.
