Roses for 2015

Our rose list will help you select roses for any desired characteristic: color, fragrance, cutting to enjoy in arrangements, as a hedge, or to grow in a large pot. We have also have roses that will grow in partial shade, and those that are nearly thornless so they can be planted near where children play, or entrances. Our roses are planted in 3 gallon biodegradable paper pots, containing rose soil, fertilizer and Root Activator. Their canes are pruned to their proper height, ensuring that each bush attains its maximum blooming potential. The biodegradable paper pots should be planted directly in the ground, where they will decompose. For complete growing information and pictures of the roses in this list, please visit our website: www.rcwnurseries.com. For up-to-date availability about any listed rose, please call us at 281-440-5161!

Floribunda roses bloom in clusters on shorter stems. Grandiflora bloom in clusters on long stems, providing "one snip" bouquets. Hybrid Tea roses are the classic long-stem rose. Shrub roses are bushy roses that do not fit any other category. They present their blooms closest to their foliage. Antique, Earth Kind, Found and Old Garden roses do not need special attention once established. Just give them plenty of sun, room to grow, water, and organic fertilizer. They’re not troubled by disease or insects; hate being sprayed with pesticide. Flowering slows down during the height of a Houston summer, and resumes in full force when it cools down.

Rose Growing Tips Rose Growing Tips Planting Site:  Plant roses in locations where they receive direct sunlight for eight hours or more each day.  Choose a site that has good air circulation over their leaves. Do not plant in an enclosed area like a courtyard or small backyard ringed by an 8-foot tall fence.  When planting near a wall, or fence, allow at least 1 foot of space between the rose and the wall or fence.  When growing a rose in a pot, choose one that is large enough to allow the roots to grow. A pot that can hold 7 gallons or half whiskey barrel is a good choice. Bed Preparation:  Sandy and loam soils Incorporate 3- to 6-inches of organic matter and sprinkle Micro Life into the hole and backfill.  Clay soils Plant in a raised bed that is at least 4- to 6-inches above the surrounding soil. Incorporate 3-inches of organic matter. Sprinkle Micro Life into the hole and backfill.  Regardless of soil type, protect roses year-round with a 3 to 4-inch layer of organic mulch (e.g. humus, pine needles, tree leaves). Watering:  Avoid overhead watering.  Water early in the morning. Do not water in the evening or at night. Fertilization:  Roses are heavy feeders. Fertilize them in March, June and lightly in late August. We highly recommend organic fertilizers.  For the March and June feedings, use fertilizers in which at least half of the nitrogen is in slow release form.  For the late light August feeding, use fertilizer in which the nitrogen is readily available. Disease or Insect Problems:  Always identify the cause of the problem before applying any treatment.  If you’re unsure what the cause is, bring in a sample to us (in a sealed plastic bag) and we’ll be happy to help you determine the problem and recommend a solution.
