While attending the fall 2011 Deep South District Rose Convention I heard a talk by Pam Greenwald of Angel Gardens. She grows, and sells, own-root roses in central Florida.
One of Pam’s handouts was a list of roses she feels do very well in Florida on their own roots.
Growing roses in Florida has its own set of challenges and a list like this is a valuable resource. I asked Pam if I could post the list on my website and here it is! Even if you don’t live in Florida anyone with a similar climate should consider adding some of these roses to their garden. They are broken down by class.
Enjoy!
