I love roses but I've never had a garden before. While I still lived at home, my dad said they were too much work and in our first house there simply wasn't enough room in the teeny tiny garden to give way to my rose dream. But my husband and I are moving into our dream house next month and there is LOTS of room for roses. Your post gave me an idea of what to ask hubby (and myself) before we go and buy. I love the idea of only planting fragrant roses but your idea of looking for a particular colour gave me some wonderful ideas. Thank you! :) Thank you for this great post!

]]> Comment on Organic Gardening is Healthy Gardening for your Family by WileyR http://rosesandgardens.com/gardening/organic-gardening-is-healthy-gardening-for-your-famil/comment-page-1/#comment-47 WileyR Fri, 14 Aug 2009 21:21:18 +0000 http://rosesandgardens.com/gardening/?p=22#comment-47 Most gardeners who think that Organic gardening is more time consuming are only considering the amount of time initially in setting up the garden, amending the soil and making a compost bin or pile. In our world of instant gratification we do expect to spray it, feed it, and make everything go away that might be "icky", while the Organic gardener tends to take the long view of improving the soil, using natural methods of pest control, fertilization, and weed control. Starting out initially to prepare the garden bed, provide mulch, control water use, and provide natural pesticides (from companion planting to beneficial insects and nematodes) will drastically reduce time spent weeding, spraying, digging, while providing the most toxic free produce available.
