ROSES IN BLOOM IN PITT COUNTY



This is just a small sampling of the dozens of roses we have growing in our Rose Garden at the Arboretum.  If you love roses, you need to come out and see them now as they are all in full bloom.  If you thought you couldn't grow roses, these will prove you wrong.  Our Rose Garden was started in 2006 to demonstrate easy care roses.  These roses are pruned and fertilized in the spring and occasionally deadheaded (removing faded blooms), but they have never been sprayed.

Make sure you take time to stop and smell the roses, too.
Many of these are OH! so fragrant!
