When a homeowner contacted the team at Ask This Old House for help with her rose garden, Jenn Nawada answered the call. But instead of choosing any variety off the shelf, Jenn headed to the International Rose Test Garden. There, she received help from Rachel Burlington, the Botanic Specialist. Rachel taught Jenn some interesting facts about roses, the test garden, and Portland’s love for roses.
Where to find it?
Jenn heads to Portland, Oregon to meet up with Rachel Burlington, a Botanic Specialist at the International Rose Test Garden [https://www.portland.gov/parks/washington-park-international-rose-test-garden] to give a tour of the gardens and discuss the process of rose testing to see how different cultivars thrive in a variety of conditions and for a long period of time.
Rachel suggests that homeowner Catherine should plant a rose variety called All Dressed Up.
To install the rose bush, Jenn and Catherine use digging shovels [https://homedepot.sjv.io/jrb4De] to dig the hole.
