Planning A Rose garden

How To Plan A Rose Garden
When planning a rose garden and working on rose garden plans for
a garden space, consider the following planting plans for rose garden and design ideas with roses.
Ideas, such as old rose garden plans and english rose garden plans are very popular, due to the fact that Old Roses and English Roses are easy to care for and very disease free. They are also the most fragrant of all roses.
All of the suggested rose plants listed below, have proven success records in gardens, and
they are all my very own favorite roses for these specific planting situations.
Rose Garden Landscape Plans
Roses As Focal Points
Use one rose bush as a focal point in your garden. I recommend a heirloom old garden rose such
as the repeat-flowering Bourbon 'Louise Odier'rose or the 'Souvenir de la Malmaison'

The 'Louise Odier' rose
Perimeter Roses
Add a rose hedge of floribundas such as the, Bonica Rose, the 'Sevillana' rose or the Ballerina Rose, around the property line.

Border Roses
Edging a driveway or walkway, miniature roses such as Rainbow's End Rose, 'Rise 'n' Shine' and 'Starina' roses
are delightful, and add a colorful welcoming touch.
Combinations Of Roses And Plants
Plant one or more roses in a perennial border. Miniature roses make excellent edgings for
a flower border. Roses such as 'French Lace', 'Europeana', and 'Sweet Inspiration' enhance
the middle of a bed, especially when mixed with gray or dark green leaved perennials.

Roses On Arbors
Train a rose up and over a support such as an arbor. In addition to climbers, Bourbons such as
'Madame Isaac Pereire' rose, adapt well to arbors and walls. Another climber that looks great
on a strong arbor is the New Dawn climbing rose.

The more creative and innovative you are when planning a rose garden, the more design ideas will
come to your mind.
