Do you want to grow beautiful garden roses right here in the deep south?
Are you interested in propagating your own antique roses?
Do you want to create a beautiful garden for your own enjoyment?
Are you interested in farming garden roses for design work?
We can help you learn how to do all of these things.
We’ve grown roses in both the city and on our farm for years. If there’s a mistake to make in growing roses, chances are we’ve made it (or will soon!). These experiences have given us a wealth of knowledge that we are so excited to share with you.
Join us for a virtual rose growing course and leave with a firm foundation for growing garden roses in the Gulf South’s hot and humid environment.
Registration for the Virtual Rose Workshop 2026 Cohort opens on November 1st! And we are so excited to be revamping and refreshing the course for an even better experience for our participants. 💗
Workshop registration will only be open for one month to give us time to ship out course workbooks in December!
A few things are not changing:
🌹The 65+ page full-color workshop book with everything we know about growing garden roses in the south, from our favorite varieties to pruning practices to pests to care throughout the year - and everything in between.
🌹Hours of on-demand content that is broken out by each module.
🌹Additional videos on special topics like pruning and thrips.
🌹Lifetime access to any and all course updates plus access to future rose workshop releases and live Q&A sessions.
What is changing:
🌹Modules broken out over six weeks for a better paced experience for workshop participants.
🌹An additional one-hour live Q&A with Kate and Farmer Dan for a total of 3 live Q&As, spaced at every other week during the course.
The first lesson will drop on January 9th.

Gulf South Rose Course FAQs:
What if I can’t make the live Q&As? If you can’t make the Q&As, you can email us your questions ahead of time. We will record the sessions and send them out afterwards.
I’m new to gardening. Do I need to be a more advanced gardener to grow roses? Definitely not! Roses get a bad rap for being hard to grow in the South, but they are very forgiving, and we will start with the basics and build the foundation from there.
Is the course for anyone in the Gulf Coast region? We are in USDA Zone ~8/9, and we experience very hot summers with fairly mild winters (but we do get freezes). The course is generally for that climates, and we discuss how you can tailor maintenance and care for your specific growing conditions.
Are there hard copies of the course book available for purchase? Yes, the rose course book is only available for workshop registrants. We will ship a course book to you in December!
Will you ever offer this course on farm? We would love to one day offer courses at the farm. There are some logistics that we have to iron out first.
