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.
