Plant Spotlight of the week: Shrub Roses
Decades of intensive breeding efforts have resulted in the availability of many excellent and low maintenance varieties of shrub roses, most of which have long blooming periods or blossom repeatedly throughout the season.
They are no more difficult to maintain than other shrubs, but will need direct sunlight for as many hours per day as possible in order to produce prolific and sustained blooms.
One annual pruning is usually enough to provide good results — usually in early to mid-spring.
See our complete listing of shrubs for more options.
