White and Yellow Lady Banks Rose
Now if you have a place with room to
grow, lets say an eyesore you'd like to obscure, or an old fence
you'd like to cover, the Lady Banks Rose may be a good fit. A
vigorouse grower, the Lady Banks Rose, whether its the yellow or
white will over you some help. They can cover a sunny corner with
lovely miniature double blooms in Spring. Need a perfect climber for
an arbor and don't want to wait a long time, then this rose is
awesome for that as well. The best feature of a Lady Banks Rose?
Disease and pest resistance. The most important thing to do in caring
for this rose is to make sure it gets a lot of water in hot weather.
Other than that, this one thrives with little assistance.
KnockOut Rose
The Knock Out rose has been around for
a while now, and it is a good starter rose for those looking to try
their hand at rose growing. While this rose variety is disease
resistant and pest resistant, that doesn't mean it can't get diseases
or pests. To really get these roses to live up to their name you
should water regularly, prune well during the winter, mulch, and
feed. Because they can be heavy bloomers they need a good dose of
feeding.
Wild and Carpet Roses
One of the best choices for a rose is a
wild rose. Now if you're lucky enough to live close to the country
where wild roses tend to grow on road sides and abandoned homesteads,
then you need not do anything but grab a shovel and dig one up. Wild
roses are strong, resilient and can take drought, disease and pests
on the chin and comeback fighting. However, if you don't live
anywhere like that there are awesome varieties that are just like the
beautiful pink wild roses that we've talked about, the Carpet Rose.
Carpet roses offer all the vigor and rampant blooming that wild roses
offer and are virtually carefree. If you have a fence that needs
personality, or a boring spot in your yard the lovely Carpet rose
will not let you down. Perfect for those who don't want to have to do
a lot of work with roses.
