Some facts about Roses


The rose is the favorite flower of 85% of Americans.

Rose hips contain more Vitamin C than any other fruit or vegetable.

Shakespeare referred to roses over fifty times in his works.

The oldest rose in the world has flourished for over 1,000 years on the wall of Hildeshiem Cathedral in Germany.

It is a fact also that I love them.

Roses, especially the fragrant ones, turn a hum-drum garden into a place of exquisite beauty. If you enjoy the fragrance of roses drifting on an evening breeze, you will want to learn all you can about growing them. It’s easy and roses come in almost every color of the rainbow, so it’s simple to find roses that will fit into your garden’s theme and color scheme.
