The rose is America’s flower and the homegrown rose can bring aroma and beauty that is truly loved.

By proper site selection, plant selection, and planting technique you can grow roses with a minimum of care.

Texas A & M has identified 17 roses that they recommend as “Earth Kind” approved. Visit their site at earthkind.tamu.edu to see their selections.

To brighten your day every day, I invite you to use one of the photos below of my own homegrown roses as the "wallpaper" background on your computer monitor. Enjoy!
