Hello everyone. I have never had any luck with roses, however I just bought a new house in Houston Texas and wanted to try my luck with some roses (climbing), the spot that I have is all light shade it does have however about 3 hours of sun a day. I performed a search on the internet for Shade Tolerant Roses and found some, however just my luck the local nursery did not have any, so I just took a deep breath and bought two climbers called Pinata. And luck was with me because I found out that this rose is shade tolerant. However my question is. My Great Grandmother used to place coffee grounds on her rose bushes does this really work. Thank you Bryan

I've had luck putting coffee grounds in my house plants. When I tried with my roses I didn't notice any notable difference.
Continued good fortune with your roses.

Hi Bryan......
Sure it's OK to put coffee grounds on your roses, but I have read that they only have a nitrogen number of about 3%. This will not hurt your roses, but it's not going to give them a big boost, either.

Lyn
