I was so intimidated by growing roses. But it is not as hard as we think. They are hardier than we think too. Start with one and before you know it, you will have more. ;) If I can do it, anyone can LOL It is possible. :)
If you can keep the weeds down, they are not nearly as tricky as some people think...now having them be in award winner quality is a different issue...but roses are much easier to grow than a lot of flowers, and if they get enough sunlight, they can last long years with no care even....
