SHARING THE LOVE Companion Plants for Roses

摘要

Companion planting brings a lot to the rose lover's garden. Depending on where you live, other flowering plants can extend the season, both in the early spring before the first flush of rose blooms and in the fall, when cool weather signals the beginning of preparation for dormancy. Different plants add variety in color and texture to the rose garden. Various plant heights and foliages create interest and structure to a landscape scheme dominated by roses. Even if roses are your favorite flowering plant, adding others will improve the overall health of your garden by breaking up a rose monoculture that attracts pests and diseases. Chances are you grow roses because you love their flowers. Why not share this love and extend your attention to other plants that add to your enjoyment with different blooms and foliage.
