Rose Lessons

Photo 365 + 261 - June 21

I learned my lessons about roses the hard way - trial and error. What I did find out, is that in Wisconsin, it is best to buy own root roses instead of grafted roses, and these pictures are my best example. The rose in the pictures was a beautiful, hybrid tea rose...on a graft. You can see the big heavy dark green leaves on its stems. Behind it, you can see smaller, lighter green leaves - those actually belong to the root stock that the tea rose was grafted to. So I have both the graft and the root stock roses blooming at the same time...on the same bush.
