Growing roses should be easy, right? Just give them 6+ hours of sun and adequate water. What if you don’t have ideal conditions for growing roses? Kay will cover roses that can grow well in extreme heat and sunny locations and Cindy will cover roses that can grow well in cooler and/or shady locations.

This interactive program will give tips and tricks for successfully growing roses in more challenging conditions.

Both Cindy & Kay have many years of experience growing and exhibiting roses. Kay and Cindy are Consulting Rosarians & Cindy is a horticulture judge.
