Roses

Elegant, colorful and often fragrant, roses are a favorite in the garden and cut-flower displays. Thanks to modern rose breeding programs, many of today's rose varieties have outstanding garden performance and disease resistance. Direct Gardening offers a wide selection of rose bushes for sale including climbing roses, hybrid tea roses, floribundas, shrub or landscape roses, and Knock Out Roses. All roses like plenty of sunlight, well-drained soil and plenty of air circulation. When selecting roses for your garden or landscape, consider how you want to use them. While climbing roses are ideal for growing on fences or arches, hybrid tea roses are often grown for their classically formed flowers and long stems. Some other considerations when buying rose bushes are the plant's mature height and spread, growth habit, flower color and disease resistance.
