I Promise You a Rose Garden... Here in Temecula with very little effort.
If you love roses and want to grow them in Temecula, it is as easy as pie. What's up with that statement, pie is not always easy, but growing roses here is!

The weather here in Temecula is perfect and roses love it. They usually bloom at least 10 months out of the year. Beautiful and such a pop, easier maintenance than most people think. Cut them all back in Jan and feed em in the spring and poof, they flourish. Just trim em back after bloom and they should bring you more.Check out the Temecula Valley Rose Society for a boat load of information.


Do you have a house with a little boring architecture? Just plant a climbing rose and and jasmine on 2 side in the front. There are some little plastic eye hooks(you can get at home depot) that you can glue on to help train it to go up and over in an arch. You can purchase clear ones so you don't even see them. You don't need anything else to help shape it. The reason I suggest planting both a climbing rose bush and a jasmine plant is because the jasmine will be green year round, not to mention the beautiful fragrance when it is in bloom that it will add. And... if you really want a spectacular look add a clematis to the the mix for fabulous blooms, there is a variety to choose from and so you are the artist making that great pallet of color. They die back but will come back the next year and with the roses and the jasmine you will never notice the die back of the clematis.


Whether you want just a couple of rose bushes for a pop or add them all over, they are sure to bring pleasure to the eyes.

Here in Temecula, there is a great selection when the bare root roses come out at Armstrong's, Home Depot or Lowe's. If you don't see a big enough variety you can always buy bare root roses on the Internet.


I love this pic because it looks like a rainbow of Roses.
There are so many great plants that compliment roses, so mix it up by adding other plants to set off the roses. I always think Saliva is a great choice. Also delphinium and foxglove look fabulous. Experiment and have fun with it and add a little curb appeal to the wonderful place you call home!

Looks like an amazing garden. I have persevered in growing roses - although not always successful I do have some beauties. There is nothing better in my garden then a rose.

Dianne - These are great gardens.  Where in Temecula are they?  I would like to visit them next time I go to see my son in Fallbrook.  Are you a member of the Temecula Valley Rose Society?

Beautiful pictures.

Wish I would have had your phone number last weekend when I was in Temecula going to and from Joshua Tree National Park.

I have a weedy yellow rose here that I can't get rid of. I chop it down, tear its roots out, and a year later it's back. It does have beautiful flowers, but the rose doesn't go well with my cactus and succulents. LOL

Unwanted but persistent rose

Diane...I am just a planol' country boy.  Nature is one of the things I value in my life.  My grandmother's and my mom all loved roses.  This brought back a lot of memories...Thanks!

To clarify, these were photos I found, I did not take them. I just used them to show my point and I love the pics :). Could you have these? Yes, but gardens this big would definitely take more time. I can state roses in generally are not as much work as they seem and we absolutely have the weather for them.

Thanks everyone for all your great comments and Russel your too funny!

Dianne-

Roses are my favorite flowers...but I just re-landscaped with drought-tolerant plants. How do they do in containers?

Hi Dedborah!

They do okay in containers as long as you remember to water them (wink).
