How beautiful to plant roses?

Rose is the queen of flowers, it will never be the background for other plants, and this should be taken into account when creating a mixed flower bed. The flower is good both in solo performance and in a company with other beauties of the rose garden. Landscape designers have their own rules for planting roses with the maximum effect for the surrounding space, and we will talk about them in our article.

To create flowering borders, the smallest types of roses are selected: creeping ground cover varieties, floribunda roses (low and medium options), dwarf hybrids. With the help of trimming, they try to give them geometric shapes. The height of curb roses is 30-70 cm, and if the plantings are higher than these parameters, they are classified as hedges.

Border roses are unpretentious to the composition of the soil, frost-resistant, they are distinguished by a long flowering period and excellent compatibility with other types of plants. Low-growing shrubs amaze those around them with lush terry heads and a variety of colors.

Roses planted along the fence or twining around the arch attract the attention of no less multicolored flower beds. Often they are combined into a single solution, forming an arched entrance to a flowering fence.

Roses are ideal for creating hedges. They will both decorate the garden and protect it with thorns. Few would dare to overcome such a fence. All varieties of scrubs, as well as ramblers, climbers and other climbing roses, are suitable for tall fragrant fences. If they are cut in time, the green spaces will become more compact and will not take up much space on the site.

A hedge is formed on already installed fences or special frames are made for it.

Rosebush fences have the same uses as flowering curbs:

• they decorate garden and park paths;

• they are used for zoning recreation areas, patios, fountains, sculptural groups.

The supporting posts with a rounded crossbar, braided with roses, look delightful and romantic. Benches or swings are often installed under the arch, on which lovers like to sit.

Arched structures solve three problems at once.

• Supporting. Arcuate frames withstand a heavy load of the flowering mass of bushes and do not allow them to break off under their own weight.

• Decorative. Such a landscape gardening decoration is the most sophisticated option among all types of vertical landscaping designs. Especially beautiful are the structures assembled from numerous arches into a single corridor.

• Zoning. The arch can divide a garden and a vegetable garden, a garden and a courtyard, allocate a gazebo, a place for rest, for a picnic.

Despite the attractive beauty of arches braided with roses, in central Russia, not everyone dares to plant them for vertical gardening. Only those who are not afraid of difficulties go to such a step, because in winter all this beauty will have to be cut off and wrapped up, and freed from shelter in the spring. In the Kuban and the North Caucasus, climbing roses fearlessly winter on supports.

On miniature plots and in small front gardens, where it is impossible to break a full-fledged rose garden, single bush roses are planted. At the same time, they try to choose the most beautiful variety corresponding to the region.

The most impressive look is a profusely flowering plant from the floribunda group or a standard specimen formed in the form of a tree.

A sunny place is being prepared for planting a salted rose, a hill is most suitable, from where the culture can be seen from different sides, because it will actually become the attraction of a tiny area.

The rose is a versatile flower that is suitable for decorating many landscape objects. In company with other plants, she can grow in different flower beds or show her versatile splendor in rose gardens created especially for her. In gardens and squares, the rose is planted in different variations.

A large space planted with all kinds of roses is called a rose garden. The plot is divided into flower beds, created exclusively for the queen of flowers. In such places, you can find all groups of roses at the same time: polyanthus, ground cover, dwarf hybrids, floribunda roses, standard, curb, climbing roses.

The rose garden is decorated with garden paths, fountains, statues, gazebos, benches for relaxation. This is an amazing place in which the most beautiful flowers of the planet are concentrated, with a delightful aroma.

An open, well-visible, elevated place is chosen for her. Plants try to plant in groups, combining them into a single composition. They should all be short.

The rose can decorate most types of alpine slides: Japanese garden, terraced slope, rock garden, rock garden. For alpine slides, creeping ground cover and miniature varieties are selected. The severity of the stones of the alpine flower bed contrasts with the tenderness of the rose petals. Roses can be planted on any tier of the rock garden, it all depends on their size and the background environment of other plant species.

Roses planted in flowerpots, containers, tubs, baskets also serve to decorate the yard and garden. They can be placed on the site at your discretion, or you can change the boring composition to a new one.

For growing in pots, choose low varieties of plants: patio, curb, dwarf. You can plant a hybrid tea or even a standard rose in large tubs. See how it looks with examples:

• standard pink "tree";

• lush bushes in flowerpots;

• a spectacular composition of roses in combination with other plants;

• decorating stairs with flowers;

• a Provence-style terrace furnished with baskets of roses;

• romantic decoration of the facade.

Sometimes they use extraordinary containers for rose bushes:

• old garden watering cans;
• bicycles;
• garden wheelbarrows;
• Cycling strollers with flowering bushes in containers;
• boxes in retro style;
• suitcases.

Florists who are actively involved in the cultivation of roses have accumulated a lot of experience. We are happy to share some tips with you.

• Rose loves moderation. Warm sunny places are chosen for her, but on a hot day she needs light shading, since leaves suffer from direct burning rays and delicate petals fall off.For the rose, loamy soils are prepared, light, with good air penetration. Given the preferences of the flower queen, it should not be combined with too moisture-loving garden dwellers or, on the contrary, plants accustomed to arid conditions.
• When making a rose garden, the bushes must be planted tightly to each other. A densely planted area with roses will look more attractive than sparse plantings.
• The color scheme of the flower bed can be multi-colored, monochromatic, or contain only a few shades. But it is not recommended to create monochrome on the basis of red. There is an opinion that there must be yellow, cream or white shades between pink and red tones.
• It is better to form a rose garden from varieties with different flowering periods., then you can admire the flower bed throughout the warm season.

If the country house has just been built, and the site has not yet been planted with vegetation, you should not do landscape design in the first year. Before determining a place for roses, you need to observe where open and darkened places are, how the border of chiaroscuro passes, where precipitation accumulates and where melt water flows.

Having collected all the information about the site, you can start planning and decorating flower beds, rose gardens, rabatoks, mixborders. When creating any kind of flower garden with roses, it should be remembered that they are the main ones, and all other plants are planted in support of the queen of flowers.
