Why should I have my roses pruned?
Pruning roses redirects growth in the plant. When parts of a plant are pruned off it uses its energies to produce new stems and leaves. Our staff specializes in complete rose care, from pruning to disease diagnosis and treatment.
Can you suggest names of flowers that will grow nicely with little care and should I start from seed or young plants?
Many of the old fashioned annuals grow well long into fall and can be started from seed (or occasionally from transplants). For a sunny spot you might try salvia “Victoria” for a lovely blue, sweet alyssum, tall and feathery cosmos, big and little marigolds, bright zinnias, morning glories, the exotic moonflower vine, and gloriosa daisies. For a shady spot you might try impatiens, hippoestes (polka dot plant), coleus, fibrous begonias — all as plants, caladium and taro as bulbs.
