About RoseGarden
RoseGarden is a private garden journal built for real rose growers: track every rose you plant, log every care action, and score your blooms against real show-judging standards, all from your phone. MY GARDEN • Track every rose you grow, from bare root, potted, cutting, or seed • Starting from a cutting or seed? Start a New Rose tracks her from day one, with an Establishing badge • Log Watering, Fertilizing, Pruning, and Bloom activity; edit or delete any entry, always with a confirmation first • Keep each rose's health status up to date; litres or gallons, your choice • Archive a rose instead of deleting it; its history stays intact. Nothing is ever silently lost. • Export a rose's full history to CSV • Back up your entire garden on demand, show countdowns included, and restore it any time from Settings. Restoring skips roses already on your phone. SHARE YOUR ROSE • Every rose Dashboard has a Share Profile card with your photo, bloom count and details • After you log a bloom, RoseGarden offers to share it (rarely, and you can switch it off) BLOOM SHOW RATING: score for the show bench • Score a bloom against the six real American Rose Society judging categories: Form, Color, Substance, Stem & Foliage, Balance & Proportion, and Size • A real disqualification checklist: correct labeling, no side buds, no stem-on-stem growth, no foreign substances • A weighted readiness score and verdict (Show Ready, Getting There, or Needs Work) matching real judging weight, not a flat average • Set a target show date on any rose and see a live countdown on its Dashboard • Rate every bloom, with a full rating history • Share a branded Show Card, or export a Show Entry Packet: your rose's identity and full logged care history as a dated evidence trail HOME SCREEN WIDGET • See your active rose count and lifetime bloom total at a glance • Earn achievement tiers as your bloom count grows, from Sprout to Rose Whisperer • A gentle nudge shows which rose has gone longest without care ROSE LIBRARY • 13 real, verified rose varieties with botanical names, bloom seasons, hardiness zones, disease resistance, and care tips • Add your own custom roses with full details and a photo ROSE HEALTH GUIDE & GROWER BASICS • Pruning, deadheading, watering, feeding, planting, propagation, winter care, and suckers • Plus common diseases, pests, nutrient deficiencies, prevention tips, and organic treatments, with photos • A built-in App Guide in Settings explains every icon and flow GROW DIARY • Dated diary entries per rose, with photos, so you can look back on any season's story 100% PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Every rose, care log, diary entry and photo stays on your device: never uploaded, shared or sold • The only data that ever touches a server is the shared rose reference library: real botanical info, not your personal garden FREE AND PREMIUM • Free for everyone: the Rose Library, Grow Diary, every care log, Bloom Show Rating, the Health Guide and backups, with up to 5 roses in your garden (archived roses count toward the 5) • Premium unlocks unlimited garden roses, plus a daily Care Reminder so you never forget to water or feed. Choose monthly or yearly. RoseGarden is built for growers who want to remember what they did, prove what they grew, and know when a bloom is ready for the show bench. ---------- RoseGarden Premium is an auto-renewable subscription (monthly or yearly) that unlocks unlimited garden roses and daily Care Reminders. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase.

What’s new
Version 1.4.4 · Updated October 22, 2026
More room to grow: the free plan now holds 5 roses instead of 2 (archived roses count toward the 5). Share any rose. Every rose Dashboard now has a Share Profile card with your own photo, bloom count and details, ready to send to family, friends or a gardening group. After you log a bloom, RoseGarden offers to share it. It asks rarely and you can switch it off for good. Safer Restore. Restoring a backup now skips roses already on your phone instead of adding them a second time, and tells you what it added and what it skipped. Nothing is ever deleted or overwritten. The Dashboard now shows your rose's picture at the top.
