Welcome

have been around for millions of years which just prove that roses are not
difficult to grow. The Rose is also

state flower of several states. Here at Rose Gardening World, you’ll find rose
articles that will educate you about roses – its history, rose culture, rose profiles
and even rose verses all in one place.
So visit Rose Gardening World

How many people out there really want a blue rose? Count me out. I am a traditionalist. I want a red Hybrid Tea Rose or a pink Old Garden Rose. Rudyard Kipling shared my sentiment.
The Light
that Failed
Roses red and
roses white
Plucked I for
my love’s delight.
She would one
of all my posies –
Bade me
gather her blue roses.
Half the
world I wandered through
Seeking where
such flowers grew.
Half the
world unto my quest
Answered me
with laugh and jest.
Home I came
at wintertide,
But my silly
love had died
Seeking with
her latest breath
Roses form
the arms of Death
It may be
beyond the grave
She shall
find what she would have
Mine was but
an idle quest –
Roses white
and red are best!
Rudyard
kipling
(1865-1936)
