Bermuda Rose

Bermuda Rose
These roses were found to be growing in Bermuda for a century. They are highly resistant to plant diseases and loss like nematode damage and fungal diseases.
For the few species of plants and trees that are endemic, the considerable number that are native and the vast majority that were introduced, see Bermuda Plants. There is no wet and dry season, but summer droughts and winter gales are common. It has a sub tropical and frost free climate. There is a constantly high humidity, especially from May to October, but no frost or snow. Temperatures rarely drop below 50 degrees F or rise above 90 degrees F.

The surrounding Atlantic Ocean and proximity of the Gulf Stream exert a moderating influence on the climate. Bermuda soil is alkaline, limestone in origin and with depth from two to three feet to an inch or less. Below it is solid limestone.

Every year, Brightwater Holidays of the United Kingdom (Cupar, Fife, Scotland) feature under "Island Holidays" their "Gardens of Bermuda" tours

Bermuda has numerous areas on trails, woodlands and even private roads with plants including poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans) and stinging nettles, very similar in size and shape to those in North America. Keep well clear of them
