Info

English Roses are rarely more beautiful than when they are combined with other flowering plants in the garden. All the roses listed in the shrub section of this catalogue can be very successfully incorporated into mixed flower beds. They generously produce flushes of blooms, providing colour and interest over a long season. We recommend shrub roses are planted in compact groups of the same variety to create bold splashes of colour and to balance drifts of perennials. ENGLISH ROSES IN MIXED FLOWER BEDS English Roses have some of the most complex and delicious fragrances of any garden plant. Their natural, shrubby growth and graceful bushy habit makes them perfect for the mixed border. Their pure, glowing colours harmonise with a wide range of companion plants; their magnificent cupped and rosette blooms contrasting well with the airier flowers of many perennials. When combined with the gardener’s favourite flowers and shrubs, they create a wonderful Crown Princess Margareta Pat Austin L. D. Braithwaite 50 array of colour, form, texture and scent. Roses are very effective when shorter companion plants are used around them. The taller English Roses provide height and structure without the need for staking, while the more compact varieties are perfect for the front of the border. Many of the annuals and perennials traditionally found in mixed borders attract beneficial insects into the garden which will help to keep the roses healthy.
English Roses offer a rare blend of beauty, grace and functionality which far exceeds most other flowering plants. This makes them very useful in all kinds of planting schemes. These glorious roses can transform public land into enchanting outdoor spaces. At home, a fragrant rose garden creates an idyllic place to relax with family and friends.
