My garden is in a wooded area on the borderline of Zones 6B-7A, East Coast US. Although growing roses has been a longtime dream of mine, up until recently it was not possible due to the utter lack of sun in our woods. No part of my property ever got more than 2-3 hours of direct sun, which is not what roses like. Things changed after a tropical storm fell some 20+ trees and created a natural clearing. Once I realized that the newly open spot gets the required 6-7 hours of sun a day I decided that it was finally time for my dream to come true.
Much of the 2020 was spent on planning the overall design of the garden, hardscape, and preparing the soil. In 2021, I was finally able to plant my first roses. By the end of the year I had some 50 of them in the ground and a couple of dozens still growing in the green house. Most of the planted roses did very well and even bloomed. Now I’m eagerly waiting for spring 2022 to come. It’ll be the time to see how my “first batch” faired through the winter and add more roses to my garden.
