Photo Courtesy of Star Roses Bliss Parfuma - A Rose (love) Story - by Kimberly Dean If I am asked what my favorite rose is, most of my Rose 🌹Buds already know the answer before I respond that Parfuma Bliss, formally known as Bliss Parfuma, and I lovingly call “Bliss”, has stolen my heart. When I first saw Bliss, an Australian blogger had featured the Floribunda rose in her garden along with 5 standards. The blooms were highly petaled and the most perfect shade of light apricot pink.

Time to Move? Transplanting your Roses
Every once in a while, I may make a slight miscalculation when planting my roses. It can be the result of anything; from a lack of sunshine, to roses that were planted too close together, to a dry spot in the irrigation, or maybe its just a couple of colors that just simply don't go together.

Far and [Read More]
Rose Stories – Harison’s Yellow

Winter Protection part II – Container Roses
So I just wrote an entire post about protecting your roses that are planted in the ground (you can find it HERE) and I realized I neglected to address one of the most challenging parts of winter protection, roses in containers. For the most part, roses do quite well in containers and add a reliable burst of color to patios, decks and accents each year. Much of my winter protection advice is similar to when your roses are in the ground, but there are a few additional things you should keep in [Read More]
