Roses - companion plants
Adding companion plants in close proximity to your roses provides year round colour and interest complementing and enhancing the health of your roses^. Some plants also attract insects themselves and in turn deter pests and help prevent disease in a natural and environmentally friendly way. All of this is with the added bonus that the plants here have the Award of Garden Merit, which is the Royal Horticultural Society's seal of approval for reliability in the garden. Choose plants with confidence.
