Roses for New England with Mike and Angie Chute viaZoom, for HWGC members and the Community at Large Roses should be red not dead, but it sure can be a challenge in New England. Mike and Angie are rose experts who will share their strategies for growing hardy, healthy, and disease resistant roses. Novice rose gardeners will find everything they need to know to successfully grow roses in our climate, and experienced gardeners will utilize this program as a ready reference to enable them to grow better roses. This includes when exactly to plant, prune, and fertilize, which types of roses will do best in our climate, and of course lots of beautiful pictures of roses! This program includes: six easy steps to growing roses in New England; how to select Winter hardy and disease-resistant varieties for New England gardens; the best way to plant and prune roses; and tips and personal anecdotes from the authors’ 25 years of rose gardening experience. Learn more about rose experts Mike and Angie Chute, authors of Roses for New England: A Guide to Sustainable Rose Gardening and Rose Gardening Season by Season: A Journal for Passionate Gardeners at rosesolutions.net.
