Items related to Tender Roses for Tough Climates
Synopsis
Roses are the most popular plants in North American gardens, yet more cold-climate gardeners have trouble overwintering roses than any other flower. Through a decade of trial and error at his nursery in Canada, Douglas Green has developed a totally new method of growing roses, one that is guaranteed to revolutionize this popular hobby, making it a rewarding pleasure, not a frustrating chore. Where all previous rose guides have been based on methods developed by 18th- and 19th-cantury European gardeners, Green has discovered made-in-the-North techniques that allow almost any rose to grow without hilling or winter protection of any kind. They Blossom year after year, disease- and pest-free, without recourse to inorganic chemicals.

Reviews
Green has developed a method of growing roses in cold climates, the area north of USDA Zone 6, a line that runs through southern New York, Pennsylvania, and Ohio, and westward across the rest of the U.S. Proper planting is the key, Green explains, and he devotes a chapter to his deep-planting method. He discusses horticultural requirements, such as sun, soil, watering, fertilizing, and mulches. Other chapters cover the planting, care and feeding, and pruning of climbing roses, shrub roses, and roses grown in containers. A final chapter focuses on pests and diseases. This informative book has full-color photographs throughout. George Cohen
