Add some extra oomph to your landscaping by installing a trellis or arbor to frame your walkway or entryway. Use them as is or plant climbers for gorgeous color and texture! You'll find tons of shapes, sizes and materials throughout the nursery.  Someone once said, "The love of flowers is really the best teacher of how to grow and understand them." It is easy to love the Rose. The rich fragrance, the sumptuous clusters of silky petals, the extravagant color, the rewarding bouquet in the vase on the kitchen table... It is also easy to be frustrated by the Rose...the powdery mildew, the black spot, the aphids, the "green worms", the pale dull foliage, the sparse blooms... In the maritime Northwest with our cool summers and our wet winters, the rose may feel like somewhat of an unwelcome guest, unless we consider its needs and comforts as good hosts always should. To begin with, choose your variety carefully. Often what's available in the Northwest market are roses that come from Texas and California that aren't necessarily appropriate for the cool summers of Whidbey Island. You may end up being disappointed by a poorly performing, diseased rose bush. At Bayview Farm & Garden, we select our roses based on disease resistance for the types of diseases we get here in the Northwest and you can trust that our roses will perform well on Whidbey and Western Washington. Consider carefully the purpose for your rosebush. Will it be a climber to be trained upon an arbor or trellis, a rambling shrub rose to swag over a fence, a compact pop of beauty for the front of a mixed border along a walkway? There is so much versatility with roses that can be used to our advantage. In a group of plants which, at its smallest, will reach just eighteen inches high, and at its grandest, takes the form of forty foot climbers, there is scope for a great deal of imagination. There are three choices in sun exposure when choosing a site for a rose...sunny, sunnier, or sunniest. In other words, roses need sun to bloom and to be healthy. Make sure you have at least six solid hours of sun a day during the growing season. The other requirement is well- drained soil. A rose will not do well in heavy, dense clay soil that holds the water all winter long. To plant:
It's a good idea to top-dress the soil around the rose with alfalfa meal. Roses love alfalfa meal. It's a good source of inexpensive nitrogen and it seems to help the roses resist disease. Deep water your roses once a week during the growing season. Fertilize in April, June and August with your good organic rose food. Any insect pests that appear, usually aphids, can be controlled by a strong spray from your garden hose, a gentle, non-toxic insecticidal soap, or with predatory insects like Ladybugs or Silver Lacewings. We carry several types of natural, non-toxic control sprays in the Garden Shop. Please avoid the systemic insecticides. They do kill the aphids but they also kill the beneficial insects that keep the insect community in balance in our gardens. They also kill any honey bees that may come to visit your rose. Birds have been known to die after drinking water from a puddle that developed near a bush that is full of systemic insecticide. Bear in mind that rose diseases can be controlled by close monitoring and good sanitation. Lightly prune the tall roses in late Fall just to keep the canes from whipping around in the wind. Then wait till March 1st to do the hard pruning. Be careful when pruning the climbers, the antique roses and the English roses, removing only the least productive old wood, and any damaged or diseased wood. Tuck your roses in for winter by applying bark mulch about a foot up the canes to protect against winter injury. Remove the mulch from the canes and spread it out in the spring when you prune again. With a little love, care and understanding, our thumbs grow greener and our roses grow stronger and more beautiful!

Good luck and please feel free to call us anytime if you have any questions! 360–321–6789  Message from Maureen Murphy, founder and owner of Bayview Farm & Garden: For 25 years Bayview Farm & Garden has had the supreme honor and pleasure to serve our wonderful Whidbey Island community. We are excited about our continued process of evolution as we grow and adapt to the changing market place of our beloved community. We take great pride in being a world class garden center that has always been a leader and innovator in celebrating the world of plants and a nontoxic approach to gardening and landscaping. For over two decades we have been the local, independently owned feed store, nurturing our island pets and livestock and leading the way with clean, organic feeds and products. Two years ago we began the process of phasing out our livestock feed department, except for poultry feed, in response to South Whidbey’s changing marketplace and demographic. We are continuing to transition away from our feed department, except for poultry, and also phasing out our pet food offering. We find that with so much online pet food purchasing and other factors, this department no longer serves the fiscal health of the company. We are excited about other opportunities for the space in our garden shop and ask that you join us in supporting what is a difficult and emotional decision. We have always said that we love your animals almost as much as you do. This remains to be true and we love the visits from our island dogs, most of which we know by name. We will continue to have a rich offering of pet treats and toys but will be closing out the pet food lines. We have been in conversation with Healthy Pet in Freeland and Critters & Company in Clinton as places where our customers can purchase their pets’ favorite foods. We have been mindful of the need and do not want to leave you without a local source for these high quality foods. These pet stores will also honor your frequent buyer cards and special orders. We ask for your understanding and your trust in us that this decision is not made lightly but has been part of a long process of evaluating the current realities. Please be assured that dogs are always welcome and celebrated at Bayview Farm & Garden. They will still get their regular treats, fresh water and love from the staff. With that being said, we will not be carrying chicks for sale this year because of the changes to the shop and the cafe. There are great things happening at Bayview Farm & Garden and the Flower House Cafe! We are evolving, adapting and continuing to serve our fabulous community which has supported us all these years. With a full heart, we thank you...it is an honor to serve.
