Just a though.... Has anyone else know about this?
I have noticed that my roses in the seperate beds do better than roses that have been intergrated into the landscaping. Has anyone else noticed this?
PS I am working on a streaming video of the roses so yall can get an idea of my yard....

Kevin the video sounds cool, can't wait to see it!
I have nothing to actually base my opinion on, as I have never seen or read anything regarding this, and I myself keep my tea, floribunda and grandiflora roses all in their own bed. The only roses I have out in integrated beds are shrub and climbing roses.
I would think though, that it may be because when you fertilize, add nutrients and treat your roses that are in their own bed, you are getting a wider spread of the nutrients so the roses have more area to gather from. Also, I would think that it could also be that they don't have to fight with other more vigorous, or heavier feeding plants for their nutrients.
That is only my opinion though - nothing based in fact.

Anyone else out there have any thoughts..........
