Beautiful! Are they hard to grow?

Beautiful! Are they hard to grow?

THANKS! They have been really easy for me to grow. I would imagine they would be pretty easy for you in Florida too. I started out growing them in pots, but they dry out too fast in the late Summer so I decided to put them in the ground and they really took off. The secrets to growing roses well are:

1) Sunlight, they need about 6 hrs of direct sun daily.

2) Water, they need to be watered copiously especially when it gets hotter and dryer

3)Fertilizer, I use Bayer rose and flower that has a systemic insecticide in it as well as a fert. I stop cutting spent buds in October and let them go dormant. For winter I mulch them with cedar mulch over the rootstock, then after the last freeze I prune them 1/3 the way down and mound a bunch of horse or cow poo around the base. After the buds start forming I give them the bayer fert and they take off.

I love the double delight!

Which one is more fragrant?

thanks
