Hello Fellow Gardeners,

Spring and summer is such a busy time in my garden that I have very little time left over to learn more about my favorite plants! Winter is the perfect time for me to catch up on my studying! I read a lot of books, look through great magazines, search websites, and once in a while I even kick back and watch a good video! Here are my top four favorites on rose gardening…

This is my absolute favorite! It is very informative, I bought it when my interest in gardening first bloomed, I learned a lot!
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

“What is the story behind our relationship with the most coveted plant in the garden? Who dreams up these beloved plants and where did they come from? Love at First Sight: America’s Affair with the Rose looks at our national flower through the eyes of the world’s top breeders and a non-profit organization devoted to roses: the All-American Rose Selections, founded in 1938.

The film reveals the secrets behind the blooms, and the painstaking work that goes into creating a plant that will flourish in today’s low maintenance gardens. Audiences will meet the hybridizers behind the next generation of roses, learn what it takes to win the toughest plant trial on earth, and marvel at the escape of a rose named ‘Peace’ from war torn France.”
