Tour of the Rose Gardens

In part it is wistful thinking to believe that roses can give early warnings of vineyard problems; but they do suffer from many of the same blights such as mildew and caterpillars, so while vineyard issues may not be preventable by the time observed in roses, the roses do serve as an indicator of what may be happening in the vineyard.

However, the main reasons for the roses are beautiful colors and fragrances; in short we like them.
