The most beautiful companion plants for roses
Previously, roses, especially Edelrosen, were mainly planted individually as solitary or with many plants of a variety in pure rose beds. In modern gardens, however, a more colorful, varied design has prevailed. Luckily, roses can be wonderfully combined with summer flowers, perennials, grasses, hedges or some climbing plants. You can plan the beds colorfully by selecting plants with different flower colors. However, flower beds, in which one or two colors may work together, also look very nice.
The best combinations of roses and perennials
Perennials are the ideal rose companion, as they bring a variety of flower shapes and colors and thus provide plenty of variety in the bed. Choose plants with different flowering times to keep your flowerbeds from spring to fall in bloom. Classic is especially the combination of roses with the bright blue larkspur to call, but also iron hat, mullein, stone quenelle, bow flower and lady's mantle harmonize very well. Other ideal rose companions are:
Needs for location and care should be the same
Incidentally, ideal rose companions are not only the plants that look particularly beautiful in combination with roses, but above all those that have similar needs in terms of location and care. For this reason, for example, roses and lavender tend not so well.
The right choice of roses and grasses
If you combine roses and grasses together, you will create a varied, natural bed. Choose perennial, rather horstig awake grasses, which form little foothills. Suitable examples are:
Beautifully framed: roses and hedges
Also very classic are noble roses, planted in front of a lush green hedge of boxwood or yew. Above all, the popular boxwood has been used for centuries as a border or background of rose beds - in front of its beautiful green, the rose colors unfold particularly intense.
Always nice: roses and climbing plants
The classic rose companion among the climbing plants is the clematis (Clematis), which is available in a virtually unmanageable variety of species and varieties. Another possible partner for strong alert climbing roses and Rambler is also the honeysuckle, which is about five feet high and blooms abundantly with very fragrant flowers.
Tips
Always be sure to place higher-growing varieties in the background, with lower flowering plants in the foreground. High varieties of roses, such as certain species of noble roses, are also suitable for planting under summer flowers, perennials or shrubs. However, roses should never be over-pressed by their neighbors.
