Roses - complementary companion plants
The plants in this section offer benefits to enhance the aesthetics of your rose borders. Companion plants can extend the season of interest and add texture and colour. You can introduce different heights and shapes for example tall high-summer perennials such as Phlox or Delphiniums. Or add movement and structural interest with grasses. Create impact by planting in groups and this also helps protect the soil. Top tip: Leave enough space for your plants to mature and don't overcrowd your roses.
