Think roses are fussy, fragile, or impossibly difficult to grow? Yes, You Can Grow Roses is here to change your mind.
Veteran gardener and author Judy Barrett takes on the persistent myths surrounding roses and offers practical, encouraging advice for gardeners who want beautiful roses without the fear that they require constant fussing and care. From choosing the right location and watering properly to pruning, training, and selecting varieties suited to your climate, Barrett makes rose growing feel approachable and achievable.
Inside, you'll discover an inviting mix of antique and old roses, including Bourbons and Chinas, as well as newer varieties such as Hybrid Teas and Miniatures. Barrett also shares guidance for gardeners facing challenging conditions, including cold winters, intense heat, drought, and humidity, with special attention to cold-hardy and Earth-Kind® roses.
Filled with gorgeous garden photography and practical wisdom, Yes, You Can Grow Roses encourages gardeners to look beyond the reputation of roses as demanding divas and discover the resilient, rewarding plants they can truly be.
Because sometimes the best thing a gardener needs to hear is simply: "Yes, you can grow roses."

At checkout, you may choose your desired delivery timeframe. This is a very important step!
We do ask that you make sure the weather in your zone is suitable for receiving and plating your roses.
Antique Rose Emporium is in Texas and the December weather can be anywhere from below freezing to 80 degrees Fahrenheit. But our weather is extremely mild compared to the northern United States.
We want you to have the best success possible with your roses and ask that you let us care for them over the winter and receive them at the time that you plan to plant.
Please ensure that you are not experiencing freezing temperatures and the ground is not frozen when you plan to receive your rose.
