RoseGarden is a private garden journal built for real rose growers — track every rose you plant, log every care action, and now score your blooms against real show-judging standards, all from your phone. MY GARDEN • Track every rose you're growing, from bare root, potted, cutting, or seed — correct or update how she started any time • Starting from a cutting or seed? Use Start a New Rose to track her from day one — an Establishing badge until you mark her rooted, with her very first diary entry already logged • Log Watering, Fertilizing, Pruning, and Bloom activity — edit or delete any entry any time, no need to delete and start over for a typo • Choose Litres or Gallons for watering amounts — set once in Settings, used everywhere • Archive a rose instead of deleting it — its full care history and diary stay intact, unarchive any time. Nothing is ever silently lost. • Export a rose's complete history to CSV whenever you want a copy outside the app 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 unwanted side buds, no stem-on-stem growth, no foreign substances • A weighted readiness score and verdict — Show Ready, Getting There, or Needs Work — using the same category weighting real judges use, not a flat average • Type-aware prep guidance for Hybrid Tea, Floribunda, Old Garden, and every other class in the library • Rate every bloom, every season — a full history of every rating a rose has ever had • Share a branded Show Card, or export a documentation-style Show Entry Packet with 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, no need to open the app • Earn achievement tiers as your lifetime bloom count grows — from Sprout all the way to Rose Whisperer • A gentle nudge shows which rose has gone longest without care, so nothing gets forgotten ROSE LIBRARY • 13 real, verified rose varieties with true 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 • Real reference guide covering pruning, deadheading, watering, feeding, planting, propagation, winter care, and suckers — the fundamentals every rose grower needs • Plus common diseases, common pests, nutrient deficiencies, prevention tips, and organic treatments — photos included throughout GROW DIARY • Dated diary entries per rose, with photos, so you can look back on any season's full story whenever you want BUILT-IN APP GUIDE • Every icon and the real end-to-end flow explained, right in Settings — no guessing what a badge or button means 100% PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Every rose, every care log, every diary entry and photo stays on your device — never uploaded, never shared, never sold • The only data that ever touches a server is the shared rose reference library itself (real botanical information, not your personal garden) ROSEGARDEN PREMIUM • Free plan: track up to 2 active roses • Premium unlocks unlimited garden roses RoseGarden Premium is an auto-renewable subscription that unlocks unlimited garden roses.

Verdict

The call

Wedding Countdown's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.6). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
