There are several considerations when choosing suitable plant companions: aesthetics, growing conditions, and plant health. Plant companions should both look good together and require similar growing conditions. Another component of companion planting, often referred to in organic gardening, is selecting companions that ward off pests, improve the soil, or have a beneficial effect on plant health in other ways. Texture, color, and form are all important in the aesthetics of companion planting. Plants with tall spires complement the wide, cup-shaped flowers of roses, while perennials and shrubs with pale green, silver, or purple leaves accentuate the sumptuous rose blossoms. Companion planting can also extend the flowering season by providing color between the main flushes of rose bloom in early summer and fall. Some plants just seem to be made for each other. While the tops of roses are nice and lush, the bottoms can become leggy and sparse. Good rose companions are those that hide their bare legs. Traditionally, lavender Lavandulacatmint Nepetaand tall growing Garden of a Thousand Roses: How to Make a Rose Garden in Australia Dianthus all make good partners. Good companions also act as living mulches —suppressing weeds and lightly shading the soil, keeping rose roots nice and cool. Ideal rose companions enjoy the same growing conditions but do not compete too aggressively with the roses. Roses do best in full sun and well-drained soil, and so should their companions. Plants that are too aggressive may crowd the roses and absorb too much water and nutrients from the soil. Many sun-loving annuals, such as heliotropes Heliotropiumsummer-snapdragon Angelonialantana Lantanaverbena Verbena and million bells petunia Calibrachoahold up well throughout the summer and fill the space among roses nicely. They all have modest water requirements and will benefit from the heavy feeding regime that roses demand. Good companions are said to enhance one another's growth or protect each other from harm in some way. Some companion plants may help discourage pests without the use of chemicals because there are natural substances in their leaves, flowers, or roots that repel insects. Roses love garlic. In fact, members of the onion family, such as chives, ornamental alliumsand edible onions, increase the perfume of roses, ward off aphids, and prevent Garden of a Thousand Roses: How to Make a Rose Garden in Australia spot. Herbs and other aromatic plants make wonderful rose companions and all may help ward off Japanese beetles and aphids. Tomatoes allegedly prevent black spot, though not many people are inclined to combine roses and tomatoes. Lavender and catmint are good at keeping rabbits away. Yarrow attracts ladybugs who in turn feed on aphids. Remember to plant rose companions at least 1 foot away from your roses so that you do not disturb their roots. Leather gauntlet gloves might come in handy when working in your rose garden. Thorn-resistant kidskin leather molds to your hands and stress points at thumb and fingertips are reinforced for long-lasting wear. Create a healthy open structure for your roses with good pruning practices. Always maintain good air circulation around your plants to help prevent attacks from pests and diseases. With proper care of your roses, you will be able to surround them with many interesting companions. Related Topics. Read More.

Garden Design Ideas With Climbing Roses Roses are generally regarded as full-sun plants, and they usually aren't considered for shade gardens. But even if your garden does not quite get the recommended six to eight hours of full sun, you may still be able to grow select varieties. No rose will thrive and bloom without some sun, but there are some roses that will do just fine with a little shade. According to Steve Hutton, who introduced the Star Rose cultivar:. There can even be some advantages to growing some roses in the shade. Pale petaled beauties that can look washed out in bright sunshine will seem to glow in partial shade. Understanding the official names of roses can be a little confusing, because the main genus Rosa is first divided into four subgenera, with the main subgenus which also happens to be named Rosa then divided into 11 sections. The full Latin name can be very long and is rarely used when categorizing a rose. Instead, a rose is usually named by the subgenus, followed by the original cultivar name, such as Rosa 'Peace. You may, therefore, find that the same plant is called by several different names depending on where and when you buy it. Rosa 'Peace', for example, has been known as 'Mme A. Meilland', 'Gioia', or 'Gloria Dei'. As a final complication, the commercial name may also throw in the hybrid class, such as "hybrid tea," "grandiflora" or "floribunda. Here are 18 roses that tolerate the shade just fine. The 'Anthony Meilland' rose is a deep, rich shade of yellow that does not fade and will glow in the shade. A pleasant, mild fragrance and a second bloom in late summer add to its appeal. Dainty, five-petaled blooms of pink and white grow in clusters on this beloved hybrid musk shrub from This variety is praised for its disease resistance, fragrance, and shade tolerance. A 'Ballerina' can bloom well into the fall and has the bonus of attractive hips. It can also be trained as a beautiful small climber. While the blossoms are exceptional in appearance, the sheer quantity of flowers makes the bush a delight in any garden. It has a pleasant scent and looks and smells wonderful along a fence. It is one of the most floriferous climbers, with equally attractive deep green foliage. This plant also goes by the Garden of a Thousand Roses: How to Make a Rose Garden in Australia 'Pierre de Ronsard' or 'Meiviolin'. It is hard to beat hybrid rugosas for toughness and dependability. Also called Grootendorst roses, they are a classic, carefree grower. Small puckered, leathery leaves offset clusters of double, bright red blossoms. Although the original Grootendorst is red, it has produced varieties in pink and Garden of a Thousand Roses: How to Make a Rose Garden in Australia white. They all make great specimen plants that can easily grow as tall as 6 feet. It blooms heavily in mid-summer and then sporadically through fall. Its name comes from the bright yellow blossoms that seem to flower continuously. With a honey-like fragrance, the blossoms make excellent cut flowers. This climber looks Garden of a Thousand Roses: How to Make a Rose Garden in Australia nice against walls or structures. This compact floribunda is covered with buds that open as clusters of salmon pink double flowers and fade to creamy white. It blooms profusely over a long period and does not seem to mind partial shade at all. A favorite since its introduction, 'Gruss an Aachen' grows to about 2 feet wide by feet tall, making it a nice choice for a border or hedge. Ice Meidiland also known as the 'Meivahyn' cultivar is billed as "the perfect rose for busy people.
