I'm 52 and this is my 3rd rose garden. I started from scratch with this new house 2 years ago and little by little I'm getting the large rose garden I created and flower beds polished. I currently have 71 roses about 3/4 are minis, mini floras, grandifloras. The rest are floribundas, hybrid teas, hybrid rugosa, hybrid bracteatas and an English rose.

I found that the minis and floribundas are the fist to bloom and the last for the year also.
