Choosing a Rose Shrub for Your Garden
You may have decided to purchase a rose shrub for your garden, but you may be unsure as to which shrub is right for you. Fear not, this handy little article is going to help you through some of the most common rose shrubs, allowing you to pick the right rose to act as the perfect final touch to your hard work.
‘Alan Titchmarsh’
This particular shrub is named after the world famous gardener and TV personality. Like the star himself, this shrub is particularly easy to get on with, even for beginner gardeners. The colors of the flower flow from a delicate to deep pink, and they deliver a pleasant fragrance, comparable to older rose varieties.
‘Charlotte’
This small rose bush will present your garden with beautiful small soft yellow cups of delicate beauty. This rose is not an instant eye catcher, like other roses, but rather one that becomes more pleasing on the eye the more the beholder looks at it. They add a touch of subtle class to your garden.
‘Crocus Rose’
Unlike ‘Charlotte’ this rose certainly goes for immediate attention. Their defined split of color makes visitors immediately ask questions about your garden. If you like to have frequent spur of the moment conversations about your great green fingered techniques with the neighbors, then this is the rose for you.
‘L D Braithwaite’
This rose can grow to a larger size than most other shrubs, and the flowers are a beautiful bold deep red. Flowering frequency is pleasing, and the fragrance that permutes from the flower is delicate rather than heavy and overpowering.
‘Mary Rose’
If you want a rose that behaves more like a bush than a delicate plant, then this is the rose for you. With some maintenance, this rose can make a big beautiful addition to your garden. However, if you want to use the rose shrub as hedging, then you should look for rose shrubs that come in a hedging variety.
- There is much diversity in the rose world, and it seems many gardeners avoid growing roses out of the tome old belief that do so is futile unless you’re especially green fingered. However, growing a rose these days is not as difficult as it used to be. With some research ahead of your purchase, you can be confident that you choose a rose suitable for the location.
- Before you know it, your rose and garden will begin to look great, and you’ll realize how taking care of one encourages you to take care of the other.
- Pruning is not an instant art form, and like many skills in life, it’s something that comes with practice. Make sure you again research online before taking the pruners to your new rose shrub. Pruning is essential to maintaining healthy rose shrubs, especially with larger varieties, so be prepared to learn a new skill or two when adding a rose shrub to your garden.
