Introduction

I have a passion for roses.  I've been growing them for over 20 years in San Diego, California.  Most of that time I have grown popular varieties that can be easily found in nurseries, but the past few years I have been getting into less common varieties that I've found on-line.  One of the best resources I've found on the web is a site called Help Me Find Roses (http://www.helpmefind.com/rose/index.php).  You can search and learn about any rose, and users can post pictures which is very helpful when trying to see what a rose really looks like (can't always trust the marketing pictures).

I've also tried my hand at propagating roses from cuttings and even got a couple of plants to grow from seed.  I thought a blog might be a good way to track successes and failures and share tricks and tips with other rose enthusiasts.  Hope you enjoy!
