Rose Care Facts and Myths #listenable

There's no shortage of advice on rose care. Some have travelled with roses for decades unchanged, but are they valid? Do they make sense in all situations, or just in certain conditions?

In this video I invited Kimberley (The Rose Geek) on to discuss these garden facts and myths at length - podcast style. It's not my regular pace of presentation, but I figured that since I'm trying to give fair consideration to different points of view, I didn't want to rush through it. So settle in for a bit - or better yet, find something else you can be doing and listen to it podcast style! Thanks.

Here's a link to the following video on the Rose Geek channel: https://youtu.be/j8dAIpIo8DQ
