How to grow good roses ?

To grow good roses it is necessary to cultivate, to prune
and to spray. If you have a well-cultivated bed you need not
worry about watering. But if you start to water in hot
weather, you must keep it up, soaking the roots thoroughly
about once a week.

Spraying every 10 days guards against the diseases and
insects that attack roses. Nicotine sulphate wipes out the
green lice; arsenate of lead is used against chewing
insects; or sulphur and arsenate of lead may be used in a
dust, as may DDT dust.

Rose flower in Cameron Highlands

I discovered that there are many types of rose flowers when I visited the Rose Valley,Cameron Highlands a few weeks ago. The roses come in many colors and the ones thatI saw were in various shades of red, pink, yellow, orange and white.

The weather is cool at the end of the year in November and December. Many families would spend the year-end school holidays with their children in Cameron Highlands. Visitors were seen here admiring the flowers which are in many varieties. The flowers are bigger than those grown in the city. There are signs warning visitors not to touch the flowers but I saw some children plucking the flowers.

The entrance fee is RM4.oo.
