Grapes and Roses

Every winery grows roses as companion plants. In addition to the beauty there is a reason. If there is going to be a soil or insect problem, roses will show signs of damage first. This gives the vinters a chance to correct the problem before the grapes are affected. Today, there are more modern methods of acknowledging a problem but the tradition continues of the beauty.
