(Fragrant Roses for a Florida Garden)<\/p>\n

$\"\"$

Abraham Darby<\/p><\/div>\nLetting your eyes and nose be drawn into the sensuous velvety folds of a richly fragrant rose is a tonic for the soul, like getting lost in the allure of love itself. Perhaps that is why lovers and roses are linked in literature and life itself. But these days, a dozen cut roses often smell no better than the cardboard box they came in!Add to that the myth that \u201croses are hard to grow in Florida\u201d and most of us long ago gave up on the dream of sweetly scented home grown bouquets.<\/p>\nBut since 1989 I have created for my clients many no-spray, low-care rose gardens of truly perfumed roses that thrive in our climate now as they did in Victorian era Florida gardens. Plus certain modern varieties offer huge, brightly colored scented blooms when grown on the rootstock \u2018Fortuniana\u2019 that resist the nematodes in our sandy soil. Of my approximately 170 roses, all but a handful are \u201cown root\u201d vs. grafted, and all grown with no spraying. My focus instead is on keeping the soil healthy and fertile and biologically active.\u00a0\u00a0 And the coolupcoming autumn months are a great time to order and plant them.<\/p>\n $\"\"$
