Paul Zimmerman Roses Consulting & Design

My Story
I started Paul Zimmerman Roses Consulting and Design around one simple message. Roses are nothing more than flowering shrubs and that’s how you should use, and treat them. Through consulting, design, writing, lectures and workshops my goal is to make roses less intimidating. I hope you enjoy my website.

Raising Funds for Rose Rosette Research.
Dr Mark Windham, Dr. David Byrne and Dr. Kevin Ong are making strides in helping us as gardeners deal with Rose Rosette Disease. I did a full length video with them which we are using to raise funds for their research. There are grants out there but over the last few years they have not procured one. So we are asking the gardening community to help. All three gentleman are generous with their time and expertise and this is our way of giving back.

Just Some Of Our Projects
Who I am
I’ve been working with, and teaching about, garden roses for close to twenty-five years. While living in Los Angeles I owned and ran a rose care and rose garden design company. After moving to the upstate of South Carolina I founded Ashdown Roses, which was a rose nursery that offered a wide array of garden roses. I closed the nursery in 2010 to focus on garden desing, consulting, writing and speaking. I consult to both public and private gardens on sustainable care and designing gardens grown around roses.

Consulting & Garden Design
I am about gardens grown around roses. From a simple consultation to designing your garden, assisting you, or your landscaper, with selection or setting up sustainable care programs. Public or private gardens and, in fact, I’m the Exclusive Rose Consultant to the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, NC and is an Independent Consultant to Jackson & Perkins. I’ve consulted to the New York Botanical Garden and even ran a two day workshop for a delegation of rose professionals from China! Both can be done in-person or remotely. If you can dream it – I can help make it happen!
My Book
Everyday Roses is about make rose growing fun, easy and approachable. It’s available as a Kindle book on Amazon or you can buy signed copies directly from me. Click here to do so.
Speaking & Workshops
I’ve has given hundreds of talks and workshops on roses. From Rose Societies to Master Gardeners to the big shows like the Northwest Flower & Garden Show, the Philadelphia Flower Show and even in Europe. My talks are known for their energy, humor and simple approach to growing roses. That approach to roses is that “Roses are plants, too”. This accessible approach has convinced tens of thousands of gardeners that they too can grow roses in a general garden setting using their own gardener’s instincts. I want to get you and and everyone you know growing roses!
