Description

With the year round temperatures and fertile soil, as Becky put it, "you could just throw seeds on the ground and they would grow!" Eventually Becky and her husband would move to Colorado and buy some land in Johnstown with the goal of fulfilling her lifelong dream of becoming a flower farmer. Becky soon discovered that growing her beloved roses in Colorado's clay soil wouldn't be quite as easy as just "throwing them on the ground"!

Those early days did not provide the results she was looking for but through much deteation and effort, Becky slowly cracked the code to growing roses in Colorado's climate and clay soil. She eventually found that it really wasn't that difficult at all but just required a few basic steps to get up and going.

In "Growing Roses in a Cold Climate", Becky will walk you through step by step what she has learned over the course of all her seasons growing in Colorado. Learn when is the best to plant your roses and why "hardening" them off before putting them in the ground is so critical. You'll see a demonstration of how to plant a bare root rose bush along with pruning and winterizing.

After taking this course, you'll know everything you need to grow beautiful and fragrant roses in Zone 5 climates!
