We hear they require constant care and treatment. . . . Depending on where we live, we hear they can't stand the heat . . . the cold . . . the humidity . . . the arid air. The list of reasons not to grow roses is long, yet we persevere.\u003c\/i\u003e--from the first chapter \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMost gardeners have tried, with more or less success, to grow roses. For a plant that has been in cultivation all over the world for millennia, roses have an oddly persistent reputation for being finicky and disease-prone, difficult to establish, and in need of constant tending. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAnd then you see a sprawling shrub, loaded with yellow blossoms, spilling carelessly over a church dumpster or a climbing mass of red roses clambering over a chain link fence. You wonder why growing a rose bush in your backyard should be so intimidating. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNow, veteran gardener and author Judy Barrett tackles the persistent rumors and illusions that inhibit many of us from trying our hand at cultivating roses. She answers the most common questions (how to water, prune, train, and choose the best locations, among others) and then points readers in the direction of the many good choices to be had among both antique and old roses (the Bourbons and China roses, for example) and some newer varieties (hybrid teas, miniatures, and others). She also gives advice about cold-hardy roses and offers tips for ensuring success with heat- and drought-tolerant Earth-Kind(R) roses. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIllustrated with gorgeous photographs throughout, \u003ci\u003eYes, You Can Grow Roses \u003c\/i\u003ewill convince you that these beautiful plants are not nearly as fussy, frail, and persnickety as you thought. By following Barrett's advice, you'll enjoy season after season of durable, aromatic beauty in your garden.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Judy Barrett\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1623490278\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781623490270\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Texas A\u0026amp;M University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/10\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.77lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.81h x 6.38w x 0.42d","brand":"Judy Barrett","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48065758888191,"sku":"9781623490270","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_eb52fdff-e0c1-489e-be53-7d962a2ce9f9.jpg?v=1768677080","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/yes-you-can-grow-roses-judy-barrett-9781623490270","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
