Roses are perhaps the most popular ways to add vibrant color to your landscape. If you don’t love them already, give them a try! Roses are available in a myriad of colors and styles; some suited for cutting, others suited for landscaping, some are climbers, others low and rambling. Roses add beauty, fragrance, curb appeal and color, and they attract beneficial pollinators to the landscape.
Most roses will bloom the first year and grow under many different climatic and soil conditions. However, when given optimum conditions, roses will thrive for years to come.
Don’t be afraid to experiment using roses in your landscape. Some uses might include:
- low growing types for planting along beds or lawn,
- a pathway leading to your front door,
- mass plantings of floribundas, miniatures or even hybrid teas for a magnificent blast of color and beauty,
- hybrid tea roses to create a beautiful and colorful cutting garden to fill your vases with all season long,
- a climbing variety to grow up a trellis or over an arbor,
- tree types, making a great backdrop and companion plant to other shrubs and perennials in your garden,
- and roses which thrive in containers on a porch or deck.
Whichever you choose, all lend themselves to a very casual or formal looking landscape. Oh, my! So many options! Next time you are wondering what can I plant, consider using roses. We’re ready to help you select one, two or even three that will suit your style. You’ll be glad you did!
