I have many fond memories of watching and helping my mother work in her rose garden in New Jersey. At the time, I was quite young. Later in life I went off to college in New York and then some years later I moved to Florida where my parents retired to Sarasota. The climate was hot and very sunny, no longer 4 seasons. It was difficult to grow the beautiful roses I remembered. After many attempts to grow a beautiful rose garden we finally had success. I want to share this knowledge with others. In addition to finding different varieties that can thrive in a hot climate there is also a need to prep and fertilize the soil. If you have a love for flowers and rose gardens, this book is a must! You will save yourself a lot of time in trial and error ... and money. Another great advantage is that you can have a beautiful garden throughout the year! No snow or ice to worry about. Please read my book and enjoy your roses.
