Grow Roses ?

Sherry_AK · September 23, 2006

Hi, Tom. For some reason I didn't see your message before. I do think I miss out on some of the rose problems found in warm, humid climates. We had a cool summer and my roses were fabulous this year. In fact, just today I cut them back and hauled them to their winter home (a "rose room" in our detached garage). That always makes me a bit sad. I cut the last blossoms to bring indoors.

Anyway, I seldom have mildew, rarely get black spot, and have never had a Japanese Beetle (I don't think they live here). So what I lack in a perfect tomato-growing environment, I think I make up for with the roses!
