Spotlight on Roses series #5

 This week is a found Tea rose. Found roses are those that are found, often in others yards, cemeteries, side of the road, etc. Because they are found, getting a name for the rose may not be possible, so a study name is given to it. I got this rose from the plant sale at the Sacramento City Cemetery in 2017. You can get the video here:

Spotlight on Roses series #3

Mutabilis, a china rose. The flowers start out one color and darken to a different color. Definitely one I would recommend growing. I have grown it in both Georgia and Oregon. You can see the video here:

I have decided to title the videos, starting with this one, in the Spotlight on Roses series and then the number because I realized that if I kept on saying what type of rose I was spotlighting it would get too confusing.

Spotlight on a Tea rose (Spotlight on Roses series #2)

  Monsieur Tillier, a 1891 Tea rose from France. I talk about my experience, the controversy about this rose. Just as side note, I mention that both Monsieur Tillier and Archiduc Joseph are similar, I am going off of descriptions of both; I have not grown Archiduc Joseph.

You can see the video here:

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.

Snow in the rose garden

 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:
