I've recently developed an interest in growing roses & have been jumping in now and then on the rose forum. Being a organic gardener, I would like to find out if others have had success growing roses organically.

I found a book at the library that I've skimmed through and liked so much that I ordered it. It arrived in the mail today and I can't wait to read it; Growing Roses Organically by Barbara Wilde. Hopefully, I'll find some helpful tips in this book.

I'd love to hear about others successes and failures. I plan to try some of the Hybrid Musks, Rugosas, and some of the modern disease-resistant shrubs. I do have a few climbers, grandifloras, & floribundas that have been doing ok without chemicals.
