Gardeners who have shied away from growing roses because of the fungicides and care needed to grow them can take heart in a recently completed research project conducted by the LSU AgCenter and the American Rose Society at the Gardens of the AmericanRose Center in Shreveport.The research was initiated to identify hybrid tea varieties that will flourish under minimum-care conditions. This project began in February 2009, and the last data from this four-year study were collected in October 2012.Based on the highly successful Earth-Kind rose program initiated and managed through the Texas Agri-Life Extension Service, the Easy-Tea Hybrid Tea project focused on hybrid tea varieties rather than the shrubs and old garden roses primarily included inthe Earth-Kind research.
