Can you grow roses in Florida?

Answer by  dwammer (710)

Growing roses in Florida is possible, but is also challenging. To ensure a successful grow year round, you will need to add a nutrient rich compost to the soil. The soil in Florida is very sandy and is hard to grow roses. Plant the rose that is well ventilated and away from larger trees and shrubs.

Roses can certainly be grown in Florida. You do not need special equipment other than gardening essentials (such as a watering can, hoe, weeder, etc). Just make sure the roses do not freeze (though I don't think you need to worry about that in Florida) and keep the bush well hydrate
