Some easy to grow roses deal very well with wind and salt spray and on top of that need very little maintenance!

Standard roses are not suitable for windy gardens unless you have good shelter. They might work in sheltered garden areas. If you want to grow standard roses make sure to stake them well to avoid wind rock or have them knocked over in the next storm.

Most every gardener I know has some roses growing in their gardens. People love them for their beautiful colorful flowers during the summer months. An added bonus is the lovely scent of some rose types.

As a seaside gardener, you don't have to do without roses either. Some roses are very tolerant of wind, salt air, and poor soils and they can thrive even in the most exposed gardens. It is just a matter of choosing the right rose varieties for a seaside garden!
