I have no idea about what to ask because I need to know everything. I want to start a beautiful rose garden at my new home and have no idea how or what roses to choose or how what I need to do to prepare the soil. I live in the Birmingham area of Alabama and have so much uncultivated land to work with. Can anyone help me and direct me to the right books or whatever you can do? I know that I do want one climbing rose, prefferably pink, to arch over a pathway we plan. Not only do I need to know what type roses and the preparation I would also like suggestions on which type to plant together so it will make a nice rose garden,
Thanks For All Advice!

Here is an excellent web site to get you started on growing roses. It wiill tell you all you need to know to start your garden.

The best rose book to get is one that is for your zone as you will have certain growing conditions that are different from other zone. Orthos All About Roses is a good one ( and reasonable) to start with. Gardens are an extension of you and you are the best person to design it. Only put into your garden the plants that please you, never mind what other people think. That way it will always be a joy to be in for you.

Go to www.ncroseland.com. You can contact Donny Rico and she will help you find just the right roses for you. She helped me and she has never been wrong yet. She grows only own root roses that are mostly disease resistant. If I can do it anyone can. I use Bayer's 2 in 1 systemic for both bugs and disease and occasionally some sevin dust.
