4 New Roses To Add To Your Garden This Year

star roses and plants 2018

[dropcap]R[/dropcap]oses are a classic staple in the gardening world. For good reason, I might add! They are the perfect addition to any landscape, adding color, height and fragrance. There are a variety of types of roses to choose from, making it easy to find something that suits your ideal palette and well thought out plans. 

Last season, I was able to preview and grow some radiant new varieties thanks to Star® Roses & Plants. They have been a pioneer in the field of plant development and introduction for more than 100 years.

Star Roses actually contributed heavily to my can-do attitude with growing roses. Some of the first roses I successfully grew were part of the The Knock Out® Family of Roses. Pictured below is The Pink Knock Out® Rose.

I was thrilled to try growing some new varieties last season. Each rose I received began as a bare root. I made sure to keep the roots moist while waiting to plant them. It was still too cold at the time to put them in the ground. 

24 hours before I was ready to give them a new home, I soaked them in a bucket full of water and Authentic Haven Brand Natural Brew Alfalfa Tea. Here's what the process looked like.

After soaking, I planted my bare roots in large containers outside. Once they started to sprout, I moved them directly into the ground. Here's what they looked like right before transplanting.

    I am such a huge fan of roses – altho I haven’t had much luck growing them! I had one vine that climbed up my chimney and it was so beautiful but it died because I didn’t know how to care for it properly. I’ll have to reference your tips the next time I plant some!

    I just love all these colors! I so wish I could grow stuff, but alas, I kill them all. On accident, of course, but it always happens. So I admire flowers in other people’s gardens.

    I love these varieties. So beautiful! I’ll have to remember to soak mine when I get new ones. I have a few mini roses but would love to get bigger ones to add to my container garden!
