Rose Gardens
Beautiful rose borders with companion planting inspiration.
Rose gardens sing when roses are partnered with the right companions — lavender, geraniums and soft underplanting hide bare stems, deter pests and extend colour after the main flush.
Design tips
- Plant roses where they get at least six hours of sun and good air flow.
- Underplant with lavender, nepeta or hardy geraniums to soften the base.
- Mix shrub, climbing and repeat-flowering varieties for a longer display.
- Mulch annually and feed in spring for healthier foliage and blooms.
- Deadhead spent flowers to encourage further flushes through summer.
