I am new to gardening. I just purchased my first home and want to start an English cutting garden. Are English roses harder to keep than other types? I love their antique look, but I am not sure if I am up to the task if it requires a lot of maintenace.

Great question. There are a lot of easy care roses, so it doesn't have to be hard to include them in your garden. The trick is to find roses that like your climate and your gardening style. You don't mention what zone you are located in, so it is impossible to give you an answer about what rose will do well for you. You might want to contact your local American Rose Society for recommendations about roses that do well in your area.

If you are new to growing roses, I would suggest you look at growing David Austin shrub roses. They have the cabbage rose form and most of them are easy to grow. Golden Celebration is very vigorous, good disease resistance and does well in most zones.
As Lyn suggested it is good to get the advise of someone from your growing area.
