Hello, my name is Sharon and I live in MN zone 4 is what they say. I am
new to roses and have purchased a few roses from Veseys and I am awaiting
their arrival. I bought Therese Bugnet, F. J. Grootendoorst, Topaz Jewel
and Kaleidoscope which are Rugosas and I also bought Stanwell Perpetual. I
bought two climbing rose, Henry Kelsey and William Baffin. I understand
that they are all easy to grow. Is this the truth or just a marketing
ploy? I also read that Rugosas do not like to be sprayed with insecticides
or liquid fertilizer. Can a person put a liquid mixed fertilizer around
the base after watering or should you water it in? Thanks for any help and
I sure do love this group. I have been reading for about a month now.
