Roses in landscape design: varieties and planting ideas

Selection of varieties

The correct combination of roses is the basis of any landscape design. As for the color scheme, it should be borne in mind that plants that are similar in color do not emphasize, but, on the contrary, “hide” each other. Therefore, it is worth choosing different, even opposite colors of cultures, which at the same time perfectly combine with each other.

Roses can be very advantageously combined with other plants, for example, juniper flowers, because against their background the queen of flowers really looks like a “queen”. In addition, a flower bed on which only roses grow is very boring in winter: it contains only covering material for flowers.

If it is difficult to make the choice of matching varieties on your own, you can purchase ready-made seed mixtures or look for options on the Internet.

Formation of the rosary

To create a flower bed with roses, that is, a rose garden, you must, first of all, choose the right place for its placement. Roses need a lot of sunlight, but not direct rays. An ideal area would be where the roses will receive sunlight for about 6 hours a day. It is good if it is protected from the wind.

After studying what flowers the roses are combined with, you are about to buy seedlings. It is better to opt for individuals growing in containers, because they will quickly take root in a new place.

Before planting, the land is enriched with humus. Young plants need regular moisture, while adults need moisture only during dry periods.

You need to feed the flowers twice a season: at the end of March and mid-summer. Withered flowers should be removed. And in the spring it is necessary to cut off the dried edges of the branches.

Site decoration options

Breeders are actively creating new varieties of roses. On average, they offer several varieties per year. Therefore, you can safely implement ideas for ennobling your garden. The most popular design options are curbs, living arches and hedges, a garden in containers.

Border

This is a low hedge that is usually used to divide the area into zones. A white border, for example, can separate paths, and a pink one can decorate a gazebo.

The decoration with borders of paths in the garden, areas for rest, gazebos looks good.

This design can be alternated with borders of other colors.

Hedges and arches

A hedge looks great in any garden.

The arch is a small gazebo, consisting of 4 wires that tightly wrap around roses. A garden with such a structure looks especially advantageous.

For arches, landscape roses of curly shapes are used, which actively bloom in large flowers. English and park varieties are well suited for these purposes.

Arches can be made in any size. Sometimes a bench is even placed under them, which allows you to simultaneously relax and enjoy the beauty and scent of these royal flowers.

Solo rose

Any flower bed looks very beneficial with a single flower bush.This option is ideal for those areas where it is impossible to plant a large number of flowers.

It is better if single individuals are representatives of decorative varieties. A solo rose will become a real decoration if it is planted in open, well-visible areas.

Single flowers perfectly complement different garden structures - alpine slides, curbs, and are also favorably combined with relief compositions.

Container garden

Landscaping of a rose provides not only for planting flowers directly into open soil, but also in special containers - containers. Such "pots" can be placed anywhere in the garden: where they will look more advantageous, in your opinion.

The staircase leading to the house will look very rich if flowerpots with roses are placed on its steps.

Dwarf varieties and the Floribunda variety are excellent for growing in containers. But you should refrain from English and park varieties.

Pink stream

It is a "stream" made entirely of flowers, not water. Therefore, it is also called "dry".

The "correct" stream is connected by cascades of flowers or their waterfalls. This decorative structure makes the site luxurious and "regal".

To create such a flower stream, it is worth using soil varieties in combination with stones, pebbles and gravel.

Alpine slide

This design is a luxurious option for landscape design. Along with delicate flowers, rough natural stones will look most advantageous. For slides, dwarf varieties are usually used.

Bright flowers look good with white stones. As for the varieties, English, park and standard varieties are suitable for an alpine slide. Climbing roses are sometimes used.
