For the first time at Urban Greenery, we are carrying the famous and popular "Weeks" Roses, a company popular for their exceptional quality and wonderful varieties. Roses grow fantastic in Valley gardens, our long and warm summers encourage a full season of blooming. Plant a rose bush and enjoy color both in the garden and in your summer bouquets. With so many roses to choose from there is a rose for any garden situation, stuff a container, cover an arbour, cover ground, or build a blooming shrub rose hedge.
Rose selections include forms of miniature, shrub,rambler or climbing. For something very interesting a rose tree is a novel idea, this is where a rose is grafted onto a tall root stock, making a top heavy wonderful rose tree, or rose topiary. Heights of 18, 24 and 30 inches are available. These are breath taking when in full bloom, especially when underplanted with bright summer annuals, a definite conversation piece.
Feeding roses is important, a well fed rose will bloom brighter, longer and may even be more fragrant. A rose which is fed annually will also be able to fight off disease better and repel pests. To feed your roses, whether a new rose or existing, use a granular organic rose food, containing rock phosphate and Epsom salts, apply as directed in early spring. Roses also appreciate a 2" mulch of mushroom manure around the drip line, for easy maintenance mix a bag of mushroom manure with 4 cups of organic fertilizer and spread a 2" layer under the roses roots, this will mulch and feed all season.
Companion plant your roses with lavender, rosemary, or garlic. These help roses prosper and are said to help repel flying insect pests. A new lavender available, is Granny's Bouquet, its a wonderful grower and fantastically fragrant. Other popular companion lavenders are Munstead Dwarf and the French lavender Provence.
Here are just a few of the Weeks Roses we have available, some in tree form and others in shrubs. Hopefully one will find a home in your garden and provide you with season after season of color and fragrance.
