Roses in the Vineyards

Roses are a familiar sight in vineyards and we have carried on that tradition, albeit for aesthetics than for their original purpose.

Roses are used at the ends of vine rows and are known for their advantage of being able to show signs of pests and disease more quickly than vines, therefore acting as an early warning system.

Some vineyards coded their roses to match their grapes; red for red grapes and white for whites, making identification easier outside of harvest periods.
