Roses are wonderful and everyone should have them in their gardens. Below are pictures of roses that are great for Texas. These Roses are easy to care for and are tolerant of our hot summers. All of these photos are taken at my home, not in a nursery that has been controlling the environment. All roses listed are repeat bloomers, unless specified.
Earthkind Roses
Not every rose is an Earthkind rose because not every rose can make the cut. To get the Earthkind Rose designation roses must pass a very vigorous test. Texas A&M does all the research and they take roses believed to be good candidates and plant them in test plots all across the state. Then, for two years these roses are basically ignored, no extra water, pruning, spraying, etc. If the roses do well under these circumstances then they are designated as Earthkind.
