Climate: We are in celcius, so I have got the summer comparison from my
tropical fish tank... In summer, it would rarely get above 86f in this
area of New Zealand. In winter, it is usually around 44f in the day and
very occassionally we get a frost at night.
I am a thrid generation rose grower. (Father and grandfather). The soil
here is very 'clayee' (is there such a word?). My dad on the other hand
lives 10 minutes away near the sea and has very sandy soil under his
roses. He has just started with email. I help him with the internet and
he helps me with roses.
What type of roses?: Colourful ones! Sorry, seriously, I am such a
beginner that I thought all roses would climatise themselves anywhere.
So I'll have to find that out. What are Portland roses?
(As mentioned earlier... please excuse my ignorance) I'm sure I'll learn
fast from you guys though.
You'll also notice the NZ spelling with some words...
