Best Roses For Florida

Rosette Delizy

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!
