What to plant next to roses
For a rose, there are “successful” companions who can cope with their function better than others: without paying excessive attention to themselves, they will advantageously emphasize the beauty of the queen.
Accent plants
Coniferous trees are well suited as accent plants for rosary. Evergenous thuja and junipers will create a beautiful cut of the main composition for the whole year. There should be several such columns. Perennials, such as a mullein and mullein, will also cope with this function. Miscantus Chinese or Weiki look profitable. It is important that the accent component be high specimens: they are visible from afar and set the structure of the flower garden.
Supporting plants
The second -wing plants should not be at enmity with the rose in color and the beauty of buds. Therefore, decorative decisive is the best option. The classic type of wormwood is silver, Veroniki of the colos and cloves of the peristor will shade the elegance of the rose. A variety of dwarf conifers have worthy of “subordinates” for roses: fir, pine trees, larch, etc. retain the attractiveness of the flower garden throughout the season, purple geigher and clopogon.
Background plants
Fill the space between the flowers and cover the soil are designed to small flowering background plants. Gypsophils, katran and geicheers surround roses and other flowers with a scattering of non -dissolving buds. And the tall thin arrows of lavender and sage will give the mixborder the completed structure.
The best duets with roses
There are among decorative plants those that are combined with roses in the most successful way. These are the most loved gardeners for partners.
Roses and clematis
These crops perfectly complement each other, the periods of their flowering and the conditions of content are comparable. The weaved roses need to be selected by winter -hardy varieties of clematis from 3 groups group. Then, when harvesting roses for the winter, the probability of damaging the shootings of the companion is minimized. Clematis with small buds are well suited for tea roses, and in the vast series of these plants there is always a suitable color. Rosa and clematis can be planted quite closely, at the outline of 50-60 cm, and they will not inhibit each other.
Roses and grapes
The tradition of placing these species together was laid by Europeans in the Middle Ages. In those days, roses served as a defender of grape vines from horses passing by: the vineyard was doomed to damage, if not for the thorny spikes of a neighbor. Such a neighborhood will not cause trouble to either plants or gardeners – agricultural technology is similar and they are covered the same for the winter. This alliance is especially beneficial to vineyards, since the rose is the first to take on a common disease, thereby warning about the danger impending on the vine.
Roses and dolphiniums
High varieties of roses are perfectly combined with dolphinium. It is better not to torment low -growing plants next to such a high flower, since the shadow created by him does not harm the neighbor. Rose and the companion in such a tandem is comfortable, but according to the rules of landscape design, the dolphinium should be placed in the background of the composition. So two tasks will be solved at once: an additional emphasis and background will appear.
Roses and phloxes
Flocus flowering is longer than that of roses, so the attractiveness of a flower garden with such a composition will last longer. The blizzard phloxes are unpretentious, have a weak root system, so they are easy to transplant if such a need arises. Floxes create lush low flowering, so that I often use them as a border or framing for rosary.
When choosing a companion for roses, you need to focus on a column combination and the possibility of colors to combine favorably together. Other plants in the neighborhood with a rose will not only complement the composition aesthetically, but will also help protect the soil from bacteria and excessive exhaustion.
