A rose
bush is most well known for its large, bright blooms. The
flowers of a rose bush are very beautiful and one of the most
commonly purchased cut flowers in the world. The flowers come
in nearly every color imaginable, except black. New hybrids
are being created every year to come up with more colors.
The blooms are also extremely fragrant.
Many rose
bushes are hardy, and can grow best in zones four through
eight. A rose bush will prefer full sunlight to grow, and
well-drained moist soil is best. A rose bush is typically
very disease resistant, and requires little care other than
the occasional pruning. Ranging in size from only a few inches
high to six feet or more, a rose bush will work excellently
in any garden or landscape.

| A
rose bush requires care during most of the year, but this
is typically limited to watering and does not need much more
attention than most other flowering bushes. A rose bush works
great as a specimen planting, or they can be planted in rows
to border a perennial garden or be used as a shrub.
