Located in the dry, semi-arid regions of North America, the eastern white rose has unique conditions for growing flowers in any type of climate. Throw on the Rocky Mountains, and it s just an incredible experience! Here is the bad news: YOU CAN grow exotic flowers in dry western states such as Colorado & Utah even when: You are new to flower gardening at high elevation. It all comes down to the right flower garden design. I can personally tell you that the amount of time & effort you put into deciding how to best display your blooms will pay off in dollars and hours of bliss in your home or flower garden.

The Eastern White Rambler is a hardy perennial that requires some shade and lots of regular watering. This flower likes full sunlight during the morning hours and just as importantly, anytime the soil is moist. It likes the sun a lot, but will tolerate some shade on the shady side of your flower garden fence. This beautiful perennial comes in many different colors of pink, red and white. These flowers are used by many flower growers around the world for their exotic beauty and fragrance.

We are going to start with the Rambler. This is a perennial flowering plant that comes in three different color varieties. The first two are the Rose of Sharon, the Rambler’s favorite; and the Stemless Primrose, sometimes called the “Seed of Sharon”. These flowers come in a wide variety of heights, some up to twelve feet tall. The taller Stemless primrose bloom longer and more luxuriously than their shorter relative, the Rose of Sharon.

It does not matter how tall or big the flower is, they all need to have a clear southern exposure and should be planted in at least six inch deep containers. The best times to prune are in late summer and early fall. Pruning should only be done when the plant starts to bloom, usually in late spring. If the flowers have already developed, cut them back to about three fourths of an inch, but leave the stems hanging rather than chopped.

For most flower gardens, it’s a good idea to have the plant anchored to the support. Most perennials like the Rambler or the Stemless Primrose, can survive being planted in potting soil without any added root system. However, they are not so lucky with respect to other plants and can rot, become diseased or even die if they are planted in heavy clay soils. Flowering perennials should be planted in well rotted soil, one with good drainage. The roots should be packed firmly to provide additional support.

In addition to having the plant anchor its roots, you may also want to provide some protection from wind and cold by planting trees near your flower garden. These will shade your plants as well as help to keep pests away. Trees planted in your garden also add shade to the soil, reducing the amount of moisture the plant needs to survive. They will also bring some wildlife into your garden, helping to keep your flowers fresh and green.

Planting shrubs and herbs is a popular hobby practiced by many flower gardeners. However, there are several conditions you must consider before planting any shrub or herb. First, you should make sure the shrub or herb has a hardy root system. It is better to plant something that will grow in your climate zone. Also, you should consider the type of climate the plant needs to grow, such as the shade and sun requirements, soil drainage, wind resistance, etc..

Whichever condition for growing flowers you decide to pursue, you will need to find out what the local conditions for these flowers are. Each area will have its own unique temperature and humidity needs, so you will have to take this into consideration when planting. Once you have the information you need, you can start preparing your flower garden for growth. Then you can enjoy watching your new flowers develop!
