Roses Are Plants, Too©

We here at Paul Zimmerman Roses are dedicated to making sure everyone knows how easy and rewarding Garden Roses are to grow. During the time we owned Ashdown Roses, we came to realize many people tried growing roses and either gave up or simply didn’t want to try in the first place. If you are among them you’ve come to the right place. You see, we have a very simple philosophy;

A Rose Is Nothing More Than A Flowering Shrub

That’s right, we believe Garden Roses should be grown like any other flowering shrub in your garden and we are dedicated to teaching you how. We have many ways to do this so take a little time to explore them all including our discussion forum.  As you do so you will also find quite a few videos showing you many aspects of rose care from pruning, to pegging, to planting and more.

Welcome To Our Garden

Here are a few tips to get you started:

  1. Take a moment to view the slide show below.  You’ll be amazed at how versatile roses are.
  2. Check out the “Getting Started” section via the menu above.  It’s a six part introductory course to Garden Roses.
  3. Visit our “Rose Are Plants, Too” Forum, introduce yourself and start asking questions.  We’re here to help!
  4. To purchase Garden Roses visit “Garden Roses We Offer” on the “Resources” Menu.

If you are looking to purchase some of the roses we used to offer through Ashdown Roses you can find many of them at Rogue Valley Roses.

Hint. Put your cursor over the slide to reveal the pause button to the left of the captions.

    I just watched your great video on pruning climbing roses and was directed to your wonderful website here. I tried to sign up for your newsletter, but it then says to please select a newsletter; however, I don’t see any newsletters to select.

    I would like to learn how to prune a huge rose shrub that was here when we moved in. Have already cut out the center dead canes and opened it up, along with pruning the laterals. Doing that did improve it’s appearance and promoted a few blooms, but only a few. I tried tying the long canes in an arched form, but that did not help either. Perhaps it is just too old?
    It looks like it could be a gorgeous masterpiece of pink roses, and I’m very disappointed.

      Glad you liked the video and thanks for the nice comment! I can sign you up for the newsletter from this end so don’t worry about that. How long ago did you prune the rose?

      We have a discussion forum at http://www.paulzimmermanroses.com/forum. How about taking a few pictures and posting them over there. That would really help us figure out what is going on.

      Thanks
      Paul
