Title: Advice for TOTAL novice
Post by: saoirse on June 20, 2008, 14:27:35 PM
I am a total novice and have never grown anything before but now have a wee place in Uzumlu with a garden. I like the look of Roses so can anyone tell me if they are easy/hard/high maintenance to grow?

Very easy to grow, although you'll have to make sure they're watered regularly.
