Rose Compatibles
|
Roses don't need to be solitary soldiers. Take a look at Roger's Rose Garden and see
"rose compatibles" at work: Plants that have been selected for their compatibility with roses in terms
of size, texture, color and care. We suggest the following plants as perfect companions for roses:

Armeria `Apple Blossom'
Tight, mounding, grass-like perennial sporting many
globe-shaped, pink flowers on tiny stems that bloom over a
long season.
Bidens `Goldmarie'
Fast growing, spreading plant with intricately cut foliage
and stunning yellow flowers like that of Coreopsis `Moonbeam.'
Convolvulus mauratinicus
Evergreen, spreading perennial valued for its lavender-blue Morning Glory-like flowers.
