Synopsis
What makes Calgary rose gardens unique? Calgary's elevation of between 1,000 - 1,200m (3,300 - 3,900ft.) and location near the Foothills of the Rocky Mountains creates this unique environment. The cool summer nights enhance rose colour, extend the bloom period and diminish disease. Calgary's long, sunny summer days result in high growth rates for the roses. Calgary's rose growers also face some unique challenges. Chinook winds, late spring frosts, an alkaline municipal water supply and clay soils are but some some of the things to consider when growing roses in this location.
All of theses unique growing conditions mean that reference books not specific to Calgary may give incorrect advice. The information presented in this book is based on man years of experience producing beautiful roses in and around Calgary.
