Roses and lavender are a dream couple
Create a rosary
Romantic rosaries are the dream of many gardeners. Learn here how to create your rosary step by step and get an example planting plan for copying.
The right location for the rosary
Most rose varieties thrive best in the sun. If you only have a shadowbed, you should ask your specialist dealer for shady species.
Roses like loose, nutrient-rich soil and need regular water.
When to plant the rose garden
Roses are usually planted in autumn or spring. It is more advisable to plant in autumn, as the roses have time to grow well in the winter and can be expelled with all their strength in the spring. You can even plant your rose garden in winter on frost-free days.
Combine the roses well
Roses alone look nice. But with companion plants they look even prettier. Particularly popular is the combination with lavender. This not only looks nice, but also keeps the lice away from the roses. But other perennials and grasses come as companion plants in question.
A sample rose bed
If the bed of roses is big enough, it is worthwhile to combine the roses with different accompanying plants. Before planting, think about the color combination you want. A rosary should not be too colorful. Popular are red or pink roses with blue or purple companion plants or even pink-white beds.
Here is an example planting plan for a round rosary:
Create the rosary step by step
You need this:
1. Prepare the soil
Remove the rosary.
Remove all large stones, roots, grass cuttings, weeds and other from the area intended for the rosary.
Place a layer of garden soil several centimeters thick on the surface and dig or mill it.
2. Place the plants
Now place the plants and plant pots in the places where they should be planted. This gives you time to re-think and rearrange the setup.
3. Plant roses and companion plants
If you like the arrangement, you can start planting. The roses should be planted sufficiently deep. The finishing point, the point where the shoots sprout from the trunk, should be two to three inches below the ground.
4. Mulching
Finally, you can still mulch your rosary. Gardening professionals argue whether bark mulch is suitable for rose beds or not, but a thin layer does not hurt and looks good. Alternatively, you can use gravel.
5. casting
Finally, pour your new bed of roses thoroughly.
