June 15, 2011 – Three lucky gardeners will receive a collection of all three colors of Next Generation Flower Carpet groundcover roses – offering supreme heat and humidity tolerance – as part of a “Great Gardens” contest being held on Tesselaar’s Your Easy Garden blog this summer.

The contest, to be held from July through September, will ask gardeners to share images and stories from their gardens in three different categories:

• Best Plant Combos (July)
• Best Story About Your
• Garden & Why Gardening Is Important To You (August)
• Best “Easy Gardening” Tricks & Tips (September)

One category will be featured per month, and the winner of that category will be randomly chosen at the end of that month. Gardeners can enter more than once by answering that month’s feature question and engaging in conversation on the blog. Monthly winners will receive a canvas totebag, The Rose, a stunningcoffee table book including writing contributions from five of the world's most respected rosarians (including Tesselaar Plants cofounder and president Anthony Tesselaar) and the entire collection of Next Generation Flower Carpet roses – Amber, Scarlet and Pink Supreme. The roses will be shipped next spring at the appropriate planting time for the winner’s area.

“This is all about sharing what works in your garden and why you garden,” says Anthony Tesselaar. “We would love to see those winning plant combinations that make your garden a special place.”

Tesselaar’s ongoing goal, explains Tesselaar, is to make gardening easy for everyone, so he hopes this contest gets everyone talking to each other. “This is part of our continued outreach to the gardening community through our blog, Facebook, Twitter and other social media,” he says. “We not only want to spark an exchange of information and ideas about a common passion we all have – gardening – we want to celebrate people’s beautiful gardens, to know what really works and what’s important to them.”

The contest begins July 1 and will run through September 30, 2011. Complete contest rules can be seen on Tesselaar’s online newsroom.
