Discover the Fun of Gardening |
September 27, 2012 |
If
your rose garden is
looking a little tired after the summer, then it is time to get it back in
shape! Abby was helping us deadhead our rose garden at home this past week . . .
unfortunately her version of deadheading is plucking the petals, but you have to start somewhere. As the weather
cools, it is a great time to clean up the rose garden and even add a few new
selections. Kerby's has lots of fun varieties of roses such as Brigadoon, Julia Child,
Mr. Lincoln and Gold Medal. If you want to learn the ins and outs of
caring for your rose garden in the fall and winter, then join us for a
workshop this Saturday, Sept 29th at 10am.

Bells of Fire Tecoma Tecoma x 'GToRuben' This new tecoma is on fire! Beautiful reddish-orange flowers appear from spring to fall on this medium sized shrub. If you are familiar with other tecomas (also known as yellow elder or yellow bells), then you know they can grow quite large. This new shrub is smaller in size and can easily be maintained between three and five feet tall. As if the bright autumn color wasn't enough, it is a great plant for butterflies and hummingbirds too. Add one to your garden today. |

A rose by any
other name can grow in your garden. Roses are notorious for being
challenging in Florida. But armed with the right knowledge and materials,
you can grow beautiful roses.
