Top quality rose bushes can be found at Select Roses and local nurseries that have specialists on staff. A list of roses that several VRS members find grow well in our area is included below. Keep in mind that every garden has its own microclimates, hours of sun, and available water. But, with a little experience and helpful advice from fellow VRS members and our Rose Mentors, you'll find what grows well in your own garden.
