There’s always a certain timelessness about a rose garden. They bring not only elegance but also order, fragrance, and atmosphere. Few plants are versatile enough to perform that way—roses can be espaliered or trellised over fences and arbors, massed as sculptural shrubs, or fit easily into blended perennial borders. Their shapes range from small miniatures to vigorous climbers, and their color range runs from soft pastels to deep reds, rich mauves, and cream-colored ivories.

April & Ashley has announced the relaunch of the sold-out Barbra’s Baby rose bush as a limited release potted rose bush after the immediate sell-out of the bare root version named by and after celebrity Barbra Streisand.

This new pink-hued rose was discovered in the namesake’s Malibu private grounds as a natural sport from a deep red Lasting Love rose bush. Barbra’s Baby will be released on April & Ashley’s website July 19, 2025, in honor of National Barbara Day, which honors all spellings of the name.

Banana peels are a fantastic natural source of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. "Providing these nutrients to roses is key to keeping them blooming all season," says Ward Dilmore, founder and head landscape designer at Petrus. Banana peels can be applied to plants in many different ways, from adding them to compost to turning them into a special rose fertilizer.
