Old
Garden Roses are beautiful, fragrant and easy to grow. They can live
with neglect but with care they will thrive. OGRs are tough survivors
grown before the use of chemical sprays and fertilizers.
Their
flowers vary in form and color according to variety. Some look like
5-petaled apple blossoms, others are round and full. Their fragrances
can range from slight to strong.
There is a past with each Old
Garden Rose that you grow. It was taken from a cutting of a rose that
was taken from a cutting of a rose all the way back to the original
plant. It is part of a plant that crossed the Atlantic Ocean during the
1800's or crossed America in a covered wagon with a pioneer family
taking part of their past to their new home.
Enjoy your Old Garden Roses and be sure to always take a moment to Stop and Smell the Roses!!!
What are Earth Kind Roses?
The Earth Kind Rose Program began in 1996 after landscape professionals asked Texas A&M University researcher Dr. George for recommendations on roses that not only gave outstanding performance in the southern garden but were low maintenance. Testing was started in 1996 in the worst conditions for roses. The roses did not receive any supplemental watering after the first year, they were never pruned other than to remove dead wood and they were never sprayed. The only thing added to the roses was a 4 inch layer of hardwood chip mulch each year. The Earth Kind Roses are: Belinda's Dream, Caldwell Pink (Pink Pet), Carefree Beauty, Climbing Pinkie, Ducher, Duchesse de Brabant, Knock Out, Else Poulsen, Marie Daly, Mutabilis, New Dawn, Perle d'Or, Sea Foam, Souv. de St. Anne, Spice and The Fairy.
