Celebrate Valentine’s Day with Beautiful Roses and Camellias for Your Orlando Landscape

Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to refresh your outdoor space with vibrant, romantic blooms that last beyond February 14. At Royal Landscape Nursery, we have Drift Roses, Knock Out Roses, and Camellias, three stunning plants that thrive in Orlando’s climate and bring year-round beauty to any garden. Whether you’re looking to create a charming backyard retreat or gift a living plant to someone special, these flowers make an excellent choice.

Why Roses and Camellias are Perfect for February

While much of the country is still in winter mode, February in Orlando is an ideal time to plant roses and camellias. These cold-hardy plants flourish in Florida’s mild temperatures, producing gorgeous blooms that symbolize love and elegance.

Camellias

Sometimes called the "Roses of Winter," Camellias thrive in Florida’s cooler months, producing large, elegant blooms in shades of pink, white, and red. These evergreen shrubs provide a classic, timeless look and can be used as hedges, accent plants, or statement pieces in your garden.

Drift Roses

Drift Roses are compact, low-maintenance, and perfect for borders or ground cover. Their continuous blooms in shades of pink, red, and coral make them a great choice for adding pops of color to your landscape. These roses are resistant to disease and require minimal pruning, making them ideal for effortless beauty.

Knock Out Roses

Knock Out Roses are known for their continuous blooms and resistance to pests and diseases. Their bold, vibrant flowers make them an eye-catching addition to any garden. These roses require little maintenance and can bloom from early spring to late fall, ensuring year-round color in your landscape.

How to Care for Drift Roses, Knock Out Roses, and Camellias

These plants are easy to grow and maintain, making them a fantastic choice for both beginner and experienced gardeners. Here are some quick care tips:

• Sunlight: Roses love full sun (6+ hours daily), while camellias prefer partial shade to thrive.

• Watering: Keep the soil moist but well-drained, especially when newly planted.

• Fertilization: Use a balanced fertilizer to promote healthy blooms and foliage.

• Pruning: Light pruning encourages new growth and helps shape the plant. Knock Out Roses and Drift Roses benefit from trimming in early spring, while camellias should be pruned right after blooming.

Give the Gift of Flowers that Last

Instead of traditional cut flowers that wilt in days, consider gifting a living rose bush or camellia that will bloom for seasons to come. Whether for a loved one or your own garden, these plants make thoughtful and lasting Valentine’s Day gifts.
