Today’s gardeners are no longer interested in reading how difficult roses are to grow. You know the drill. Spray with 4 different chemicals alternating weekly, feed smelly concoctions sure to drive your dog way, prune back to a five leaflet leaf set, outward facing bud-eye, while standing on one leg wearing red underwear – and only during a lunar eclipse!
If your publication is looking for an article with a fresh and original take on using roses in the garden look no further. I can help. The growing methods I teach and talk about are easy to understand and include a healthy dose of common sense.
In the meantime you can read samples of my writing in the “Articles” section of this website.
