We talk about why growing roses on their own roots makes such a difference in their hardiness, health, and longevity, and how modern breeders are creating varieties that thrive in a wide range of climates. Robin shares practical advice on choosing the perfect rose for your garden and demystifies rose care, pruning, and fertilizing so you can be as successful as I have been this year.
Whether you’re new to roses or a seasoned grower, this episode is packed with inspiration, practical know-how, and all the encouragement you need to start (or expand) your own rose collection. Let’s dig in!
