My friends and colleagues over at Bombay Outdoors ran a reader facebook poll last month, asking: “What’s your favorite flower?” and this was the result:
“30,000 fans and gardeners (mostly U.S. women) voted for their favorite garden flowers. The results came in and I asked horticulturist Nancy Wallace if she’d write about the Top Five Favorites. Then we noticed. In the poll, roses got LOVE! They didn’t just win, they got 15 THOUSAND more votes than the 2nd-most popular flower!”
So, follow the link to get the whole scoop on roses - America's favorite flower - and take a peek at these easy-to-grow roses for Zone 7B, here in Suwanee.
