White garden roses are just as popular as red garden roses. What many amateur gardeners don t know about the white garden rose is that it is far more ideal than any other color as a beginner plant.

In fact, the white garden variety requires slightly different living conditions than other colors. It s important that you know about these conditions before planting your white rose, to ensure that it is positioned in a place that promotes the best blooms possible.

Ideal Conditions for the White Garden Rose

The white variety is better suited to an area that enjoys partial, rather than full sunlight.

White variety blooms look better when they are placed in partial sunlight, particularly at dawn and dusk.

White roses also enjoy a spot of cool weather, rather than the heat that other colors like to lap up.

The white variety is ideal even for people who live in relatively cold conditions. Unlike other colors, white varieties can successfully survive the winter.

Other than that, white s follow a similar pattern of growth and maintenance as those of other colors. Mixing a garden bed with different colors and kinds of shrub can make a beautiful attraction. You can use rambling or climbing varieties to help enhance or cover a feature. Miniature types can be used to brighten up your patio and your home.

Roses come in a variety of types, and can be used in a number of different ways. From shrubs to rambling, there ll be one out there that s right for you. You may be thinking I heard they are difficult to keep , and with older varieties, I d be saying that s true. However, hybrid roses, developed in a number of different varieties, give us green hearted, if not green fingered types the ability to have them in our gardens. Hybrids are developed to provide greater resilience to disease than older varieties.

They are also developed to come with other benefits, like different fragrances and more frequent blooming periods, giving the gardener more reward for the work involved. A rose and garden that compliments your home can add value to your property, and bring a touch of class to your home.
