I live in SoCal, some of my roses that I planted about 12 years ago are like 8 feet wide and tall! So it kinda depends on the rose and where you live. But sometimes they can get super huge! I absolutely love my roses. I don't have to do that much for them now that they are established. I find that once I get past the first couple years, after that they are quite drought tolerant to some degree because they have deep roots. 90% of my roses are own-root roses. I actually have La France in my yard! Very few of my roses are the typical Hybrid Teas actually. In general I pick roses that are 1- heat tolerant, 2 - reblooming, 3 - fragrant, 4- have a bloom/petal pattern I like. I prefer complex blooms usually. I even get blooms in December sometimes. I dont even bother pruning them that much other than removing overgrown, crossing or damaged branches. I fertilize maybe a couple times of year with things like fish emulsion, etc. and that's really it! Huge return for very little effort. I feel like peoples' impression of roses is highly manicured hybrid teas of a particular type. But there are so many other kinds of habits and roses. you don't have to be limited to just a heavily pruned hybrid tea. I also plant reblooming irises among the roses. That should be what you add next! Irises! Descanso Gardens near Pasadena has some really beautiful displays of interplanted plants with roses like catmint, yarrow, borage, dusty miller, salvia, calendula, geranium, nasturtium, snap dragons, sweet peas, etc!

Here’s something our rose growers have observed here in central Florida-the darker green the foliage is on a particular rose the better disease resistance the rose has. We have to grow them on fortuniana rootstock here because of heavy nematode presence in our soils unless they want to keep their roses in pots forever. A lot of local gardeners grow marigolds and turn them into the beds every season as well as adding crabmeal into their soil for the chitin in the shells to reduce nematode presence in the soil. I’ve also had growers use the three types of beneficial nematodes from Arbico Organics in their home gardens as well to try to get rid of them.

I'm partial to rustling old garden roses (i. e, ones not protected by plant patents. Except for the two miniatures I rescued from the $1 half-dead plant sale cart at a local store, all mine are grown from cuttings. I figure if a rose has been growing for decades all on its own, I'm not likely to kill it. I have a monster that I grew from cuttings of a rose that was slowly swallowing an abandoned house in my old neighborhood. She only blooms once, but it's spectacular and the scent is amazing. And rose hip tea is delicious.

Best way to avoid issues with grafted roses is to just not buy them. Buy own-root roses instead. Harder to find, but worth it! They can die all the way to the ground but come back from the roots. No more Dr Huey reverted roses!
In my colder climate we lose grafted roses all the time. The last couple winters caused a lot of rose casualties. But own-roots came back as beautiful as ever!

Good intro to roses. A little more about pruning and late maintenance- would help. People don’t seem to realize that roses need good air circulation. Less of a probe, for you becuase your weather is not and dry. But in humid climates I’ve noticed that people don’t cut back stems all the way so that there is space for air - and that causes diseases of all kinds.

I'm so thankful for this video. I can grow vegetables and fruit. Last year, we added knock-out rose's to our perimeter. We took planting instructions seriously but now what lol.
I can say very happily they survived our winter and came back nice and green with a reddish color so they are healthy. Great timing for this video. You are much appreciated

I can't count the number of roses I've had to treat for powdery mildew because of bad watering practices. Always water at the base like he said, don't ever let water sit on the leaves. If your sprinkler hits the leaves and you water in the evening or at night you're asking for a mildew infestation.

Do you have any help with making them bloom I bought a rose bush from our Tractor Supply two years ago and it gets tall and green every year but no blooms. Before we moved here the ground was covered with poison ivy and oak. I dig it all up and cleaned the ground but no blooms.

I have a Cherokee rose (rosa laevigata. It is both so pretty and the bane of my existence at the same time. I planted it in the ground. Don't do that. DO NOT DO THAT. It spreads everywhere and makes me cuss a lot. Now I can't cut it out because there's a cardinal nest in it!

Question not related to roses, but you got me thinking I have 3 15yr old peony plants and I haven’t fertilized them once since I moved in 3yrs ago. AND I’m sure my aunt who live here prior hadn’t done it either. Should I fertilize them annually And if so, with what

I just transplanted a tiny rosebush in my yard. It hasn't started blooming yet.
Should I prune any buds that emerge to encourage the plant to develop stem and leaf growth in the first year Or should I allow it to bloom Any advice is appreciated.

As a primarily edible vegetable gardener, it's taken me a few seasons to get my head around growing roses.
But roses are edible. The rose hips are the fruits. Rose petals are also edible, and you can make tea out of them.

rose petals tea only if you're not spraying the plant. We use the green rose for haku leis. I used to plant my roses by the street lights. I know it worked for me because when he had a blackout, parts of it were eaten.

I’ve bought from heirloom roses from the past. Gorgeous roses but pricy. They’re gorgeous and every year gives me bigger blooms. My favorites are the double delight and anything orange. TFS as always Kevin

Don't let a deer in your yard if you have roses. I went out of town, one got in and all the blooms and a bunch or leaves are gone. It did seem like the deer understood not to eat it all, though.

No Rose wants to be blue, thats why all kinds of tricks are used to get blue roses. Blue roses are white with tricks used. Stop trying to get a plant to give you something they can't

Cecile brunner will tolerate some shade very well. It’s a polyantha. The hybrid musks can do really well in part shade too. It’s your hybrid teas that really want all that sun.

What about knock out rose bushes or double knock or rise bushes Are they one time bloomers, or multiple bloomers, are they easy to grow in Florida
