Flowers-neighbors for roses in a flower garden
ACCOMPANIMENT FOR ROSES
Properly selected environment will not only emphasize the dignity of the queen of the garden, but also prolong the decorativeness of the flower garden after it has faded. Companions for single-blooming roses are especially relevant.
Water planting with roses is generally discouraged from using plants with large flowers, they will compete, not set off the rose. The exception is the classic partner of the queen of the clematis garden, who makes an impeccable pair with her. The coincidence of the timing of the flowering of roses and most types of clematis enhances the beauty of such a union. Not only large-flowered clematis go well with climbing roses. Clematis whole-leaved and Manchurian look great next to them. For pink roses
you can pick up clematis of blue-violet and light purple colors. Red roses are especially spectacular next to white clematis, and dark purple and purple clematis emphasize the beauty of yellow ones. Finding a partner for white roses is not difficult, any clematis will suit them - with blue, pink or purple petals.
For tamping the foreground of planting roses, daylilies are good, contrasting foliage and flowers with them. It is best to choose old long-flowering varieties with graceful star-shaped flowers. For planting roses “at the feet”, plants with white small flowers are often used: alissum, pyrethrum, pearl anafalis, sapling, White Pouffe lactiferous bell, forming a low pillow of green leaves and a mass of snow-white flowers.
The classic combination is rose and cuff. Openwork foliage and delicate yellow-green flax of cuff flowers planted in the foreground are a good addition to roses of any shade, especially pastel colors. As well as the cuff, other plants with small or openwork inflorescences give harmonious combinations with rose bushes: astrantia, monarda, vasilist, burnet, oregano, gypsophila. Successful companions of roses are hybrid yarrows that bloom at the same time and delight with various shades of red, burgundy, pink, yellow. Delicate orange roses will look flawless with terracotta flat yarrow corymbs, red varieties are suitable for burgundy roses, and apricot or white varieties can be chosen for yellow ones.
Interesting options can be obtained by choosing partners for a rose according to the principle of contrast in the shape of a flower. Next to rounded roses, foxglove looks like a win-win with a tall, powerful stem topped with a spike-shaped inflorescence. Such a duet has long been used in English gardens. The palette of hanging foxglove bells is very wide, the flowers can be white, pinkish, lilac, yellow, purple, have a bright contrasting throat, strokes or specks.

Due to the large color variety, there will be no problems with the selection of plants for the rose garden. However, we must remember that foxglove is poisonous, you only need to work with it with gloves, and if there are small children in the garden, then it is better to refuse planting this plant, choosing another partner for the rose with vertical inflorescences - for example, veronica, sage, mullein, liatris or lupine.
The union of a rose and a delphinium is flawless - a stately handsome man with dense inflorescences, almost completely repeating the shape of a pyramid. Its blue-blue range is suitable for roses of any shade. Since nature has not endowed the rose with the pigment necessary to produce blue and purple, plants of this color always successfully complement the rose garden. These are various geraniums, some varieties of sage, irises, mountain cornflower. A wonderful companion for a rose is Christophe's onion with huge purple-violet inflorescences resembling translucent spheres.
Among perennials with decorative foliage, there are also many worthy contenders for a place in the rose garden. Hosts can be used for planting under roses and edging flower beds. Leaves with a white or yellow border will successfully emphasize the corresponding colors of rose petals. True, most hosta burns in the sun, so you should choose sun-resistant varieties: for example, the Sun Power variety, the color of which changes from chartreuse to golden leaves, Blue Ivory with blue leaf plates bordered by a wide cream stripe, Sum And Substance, which changes color from light green to golden yellow.
Using in one flower garden Rose warm shades (for example, scarlet, orange, yellow colors) и cold (purple, lightpink, pink-raspberry), be sure to separate them from each other and fill the space with plants of a neutral color - green, white, silver, gray.
The unusual foliage of the geyher, geyherell itiarell beautifully sets off the roses. Purple and maroon geyhera can't stand too much sun. Purple varieties are more resistant in such conditions. They can be planted both in the foreground and under roses, but it is important to ensure that these perennials do not fall under winter shelter, which is undesirable for them.
The noble silver of cineraria, woolly chistetsa, lamb, pearl anafalis, coronet lychnis adds sophistication to roses, balances and softens their violent flowering. Gray and silver-green wormwoods are suitable for planting among roses, and not only creeping ones. Tall species also do a very good job when it comes to harmonizing rose plantings with flowers that are too contrasting or dissonant with each other.
Recently, roses are often combined with typical representatives of the natural garden - ornamental cereals. Cereal plants not only create the necessary verticals, but also enliven the flower garden. After all, rose bushes are static, and tall inflorescences and long narrow leaves of cereals sway and give a wave from any breath of breeze. Good combinations are obtained with evergreen sheep, forming a dense curtain of straight blue-gray leaves. This partner is perfect for lilac and pink roses.
In the middle of summer, thanks to the mass of flowering spikelets, the soddy pike resembles a large air cloud, which suits roses of any color scheme. The effect of a light mysterious haze near the roses will also be created by the numerous inflorescences-panicles of the reed lightning, short-haired and sharp-flowered reeds, Chinese miscanthus.
