Perennials

Roses are one of the most popular perennials around, with stunning flowers in an array of colors and are available in compact and large varieties. Some varieties, like 'New Dawn' beam a beautiful fragrance. 'New Dawn' also happens to be a climbing rose, but roses can be found in bush or tree form and as used ground cover. Roses, although may not seem it, are relatively tough plants. Some may require more maintenance than others, so keep that in mind when choosing your plant. All roses do require at least 6-8 hours of sun daily and should be planted in the spring, after the danger of frost has passed or in fall. If you are planting in the fall be sure to give your rose enough time to get established before the danger of frost, at least 6 weeks. Even though roses will do just fine with little maintenance, it helps to prune them in early spring to promote lush growth and more blooms. You can also periodically deadhead faded blooms to help promote more flowers through the growing season. We carry the below varieties of roses in an array of different colors.

'Knock-Out' Rose: A shrub rose that blooms from summer through fall, with high disease resistance and requires little to no maintenance. They are self-cleaning and are drought tolerant. They can get grow to be on the larger side if they are not cut back.

'Drift' Rose: A compact ground cover rose that is ideal for filling in gaps in the landscape, containers, and hanging baskets. A good options for those who don't want to deadhead, as they will re-bloom every 5-6 weeks regardless. Overall, a low maintenance and disease resistant variety.
