DIG THIS | Where love and gardening collide
Feb 13 2009, 9:11 AM What's Up Master Gardener columnist Peg Tillery waxes botanic on one of the most loved and hated of all flowers — the rose.

In February many gardeners start dreaming about roses. There are even several gardeners in Kitsap County who literally have more than a hundred varieties growing in their gardens. Others wouldn’t grow roses if their lives depended on it.

Through the years breeders have been perfecting roses for disease resistance, ease of growing and wonderful appeal. Weeks Roses from Wasco, Calif., supplies roses to many of our local nurseries: Bay Hay (Bainbridge Island), Bainbridge Gardens, Valley Nursery, Country Nursery and Gardens, Clear Creek Nursery and Port Orchard Nursery. In late fall and the dead of winter, they receive the current listings of available roses for the upcoming years. Talk to your favorite nursery staff person to find out their favorite varieties for 2009 or to order in new roses for you each year.
