Full-sun perennials are easy to grow as long as they aren t planted in heavy clay soils which stay wet in winter and can lead to rotting.

15 ROSES & Our custom is to offer you roses that have been grown on their own roots rather than grafted onto rootstock. These roses initially grow more slowly (hence their small size) but catch up to grafted roses in 2-3 years. In cold climates these roses tend to be hardier and remain true to the original variety should they die back to the ground in winter. & Modern shrub roses and pillar roses are gaining popularity among gardeners. Most are fragrant and many are disease resistant which lessens the need for chemical spraying. An annual application of organic fertilizer and compost is preferred for the one-time-blooming shrubs, with small additions of other fertilizers to boost repeat bloomers. All are winter hardy and do not require tipping. The roses are potted for your convenience. The newly developing roots are fragile and may be damaged during transplanting which could cause growth set-back. Please use caution when spreading the root systems. & For more information on roses hardy in Minnesota, read the HRC rose researchers book, Roses for the North by K. Zuzek, M. Richards, S. McNamara and H. Pellett. It is available in the Andersen Horticultural Library and for sale in the Arboretum Gift Shop. Roses are found outside between the HOSTA BUILDING and the SHADE BUILDING.& R.
