This is my first House and I would like to make the yard as pretty as I can with plants that required a lot of care. Because I have a back injury. I am looking for beautiful colors as well as being hearty. Please let me know when as well as what other plants and flowers I should consider. I live in Hampton,VA
Thank you kandy4u49t@yahoo.com

I meant to say plants that did not required a lot of care!

"The highly colourful flowers have been developed by a Dutch businessman who dyes each bloom in the colours of the rainbow."
So, no 'Rainbow' , unless you want to bother dying them ; D
As the above posters mentioned , the 'Knockout' series is good . Same goes for any of the 'Pavement' series , and the 'Explorer' series , from Agriculture Canada . 'Champlain' is an especially good Explorer.
Some other very good ones : 'Hansa' (fragrant!) , 'Stanwell Perprtual' , 'Snow Owl' , 'Buffalo Gal' , 'Nearly Wild', 'Roselina', 'Chuckles' (Looks like a Pink Dogwood flower, smells like Red Delicious apple), 'Heritage' , 'Graham Thomas', 'Kiss Me', 'Zepherine Drouhin' (fragrant!, nearly thornless climber, takes more shade), Rosa glauca (pink, with burgundy leaves), 'Seafoam', 'Betty Prior' (if own-root), 'Snowshowers', 'Baby Blanket'
Less than impressed with the 'Flower Carpet' Series, and most Meidilland roses ('Bonica', etc), but I'm in upstate NY. Might be OK in Virginia .

For the best answers, search on this site https://shorturl.im/avfOn
I have started about a couple dozen new rose bushes from my one original bush. I take a cutting that's green, new growth from this year, not the brown stems that are older. I cut it diagonally, dip it in rooting compound and plant it in a pot with potting soil and finely chopped wood chips so it's a looser soil. And water, water, water it for a month so I know it's taking root and staying green. I just leave it in a pot all summer on my deck so I can easily keep it watered. In the fall I transplant it to the ground being sure I don't disturb the root ball that's forming and plant the entire clump of dirt from the pot. It's a loose soil, so do it gently. I'll stick 6 or so stems in the same pot so I have a "plant" not just a single stem growing together. It's not fool proof.... I lose as many as I start. I figure I'm pruning the bush anyways, so why not take all the cuttings and stick them in pots, and hope for the best. I do this with Bleeding hearts too and have dozens of them all from the same bush. Sedums are also very easy to start new plants from just a tiny piece. Good luck!

'Rainbow' roses are all the rage

I'm not sure they actually grow that way but they definately are dyed that way. The link above will will explain it.
I've searched all thru the heirloom roses and antique roses and have found no such rose.
You can grow roses with multiple shades.
Here is a map of your planting zone
you are 7b to 8a you can pretty well plant most anything but be sure and check the hardiness zone first.

The Knockout Rose in the previous answer is the most carefree rose I know of. The blooms are not shaped like the typical rose bloom most people think of. They are more like a wild rose blossom but I love the Knockout roses just the same :) Most local garden center have the Knockout Roses.

don't be fooled by rainbow rose seeds. roses are cuttings or grafts to get the same colors.
