| Where and how everyone grows and plants their Roses.
It is wonderful to see the pictures of individual flowers but all the plants seem to have such different forms of growth it would be great to see the whole.

Marion I agree it is an addiction but what a nice one, I plant my roses all through my garden mixed with other plants it works for me also I used to havea large rose garden & found so many roses all together was overwhelming where when they are mixed with other things I can really admire each rose seperatly

| I have just put in a new front garden with mainly roses. The colours move from dark red through to orange apricot & yellow creams & pale pink to white. My planting has been rather close and I suppose I have lost the opportunity for my daylias next season. The underplanting is mainly iris, penstemon, aquilegia, Asiatic lillies. For height I have a Denudata & Vulcan magnolia in separate areas. Although there is not a lot of greenery over Winter, only a couple of small rhodos, I rather like the bare framework of my weeping maples. Currently the pansies, snapdragons, cinerarias & penstemon are providing the colour. It will be interesting to see whether the "colour wheel" approach to my roses is okay or a system of contrast colours may have been a better approach. I might take a long term view just to see the performance of the various roses. Forgot to mention that I have used gardenias also as an evergreen contrast. My summer underplanting was cosmos and it created quite a visual display....from the other side of the street our house disappeared! It looked fabulous and the lady bird population demolished the aphids. |
