Landscaping with Roses

Roses have many uses in the home garden, both as standalone
bushes and climbers and as part of an overall landscape of
plants and flowers. The newest thinking in landscape gardening
is to combine roses with other types of native plants and
flowers, and roses certainly lend themselves to a striking place
in the garden.
Roses are also wonderful when used to enhance and highlight
areas of the home or surrounding landscape. For example,
climbing roses can be trained to grow up and over a trellis or
to highlight and enhance a bare wall or garden shed. In
addition, a spray of yellow roses growing against a brick or
stone home can be a beautiful addition to the landscape.
Landscaping with roses is one of the best ways to add beauty to
the home, and even to enhance its value. Before you can
landscape effectively with roses, however, it is important to

Planning for next spring's garden should begin the winter before
the garden is to be planted. Planning early allows you to
determine the best location for the roses in the garden, and to
research the varieties that are most likely to thrive in your
climate.
It is also important to ask yourself what you want to get out of
your roses. Roses can be used for many different reasons, from
providing an attractive ground cover to providing a dramatic
backdrop for a beautiful home.
Planning is also important in order to prevent rose specific
problems. There are, for instance, a number of pests and
diseases that are specific to roses, and it is important to take
steps to prevent those problems before planting your roses. It
is also important to ask yourself how much time you have to
devote to growing roses, since some varieties are harder to grow
than others. If your time is limited, it may be best to stick to

roses in colors that will best
highlight your home and exterior landscape. For instance, a
spray of white roses can be quite striking against a dark
colored home, just as red roses can beautifully compliment a
white exterior.
It is also important to examine your landscape and determine
which roses will work best where. For example, hybrid musk roses
grow well even in less than full sun, so they are often used in
shady areas. It is important to note, however, that hybrid musk
roses do not do as well in colder climates. It is important to
take your own climate into account, as well as sun and shade
considerations, when planning your rose landscape.
