Are you Rose Ready?


Ahhh roses. The quintessential Valentine's day flower. Have you been giving the same cut roses to your sweetheart year after year? Are you ready to change things up a bit? Sure, long stemmed cut roses are beautiful in a vase, but they don't last very long and by the time they've reached the end they're in a pretty sad state. 
Consider giving a rose that keeps on giving year after year. 
Roses do extremely well in our desert landscape and once they are established they can be quite drought tolerant. They look beautiful intermingled with everything from evergreens to desert natives. 
They're also an excellent addition to a container or balcony garden. 

Sweetest mini roses

Mini roses are too cute to pass up and are an excellent answer to a small space.

With so many varieties in color, height, fragrance and shape, you're bound to find something to impress even the most particular connoisseur.

If your better half is already tending to a rose garden of their own, try adding to their collection of already patent or non-patent roses. What could be sweeter than gifting that coveted color that your special someone has been longing for? An assortment of tools, gloves, or flower producing fertilizers would round off a total gift package.
