sometimes I feel like a kid in a candystore, when browsing through all the rose catalogs, or going to my
favorite local nursery in early spring and summer.

Roses are extremely versatile in gardens, because of all the options available for using them. I am especially fascinated with the uses for climbing roses. They take up such a small ground space, one square foot, thats all! Climbing rose plants are stunning trained on multiple arches over a walkway like in the picture above. They are also great for arbors, trellises as well as against fences and walls.
A Beautiful Mixed Flower Bed With Roses
Bushes and shrub roses are excellent in mixed beds and borders, where they really can shine and provide
color all season long. They are great for anchoring a flower bed and providing focal points in a garden.

Low-spreading roses, such as carpet roses, make ideal groundcovers, as they are very low maintenance and do not require any deadheading because carpet roses are self-cleaning. Spreading roses also make beautiful hanging baskets that bloom all summer into fall. Miniature roses are perfect for containers and windowboxes, where they can be underplanted with small vines and annuals. The uses for roses in your garden are endless, and that's what makes gardening with roses such a fun and creative activity.
