I recently sat down with my friend Michael Marriott for a wide ranging discussion on all things roses. This is part 2, and besides myth busting we also get into care tips and other topics. If you haven't seen part 1 yet that's okay. They are not in sequence so you can watch this one and then go watch part 1.

Like part 1 I broke this into sections so you can watch it all or in parts. You can even jump around as the sections are time stamped below. Enjoy!
