Tips to add a little romance to your rose garden:
– climbing roses — Enjoy the charm of climbing roses clinging to a garden gate, trellis or even an old tree stump. Simply train your climbing rose on a stake in the direction you want it to grow and gently secure the canes with flexible ties.
– Fragrance — As if the names weren’t heady enough, have you ever walked past a newly blooming rose bush only to find yourself swooning from the scent in the air? Some roses are beautiful to look at, but do not have a strong scent. Add to the ambience by choosing roses with powerful perfumes.
– Color palette — Sometimes intermixed colors can present a vivid and impressive image. Try mixing corals with deep pinks or lavenders with soft pinks or fuchsias. Velvety reds are also a traditional favourite; and whites can be dazzling too, especially when they have a draping effect.
– romantic friends — There are many romantic pairings for your roses, here are a few: peonies, lavender, lilacs, and jasmine.
“And I will make you beds of roses and a thousand fragrant bouquets, a cap of flowers and a tunic embroidered all with myrtle leaves” – Christopher Marlowe in Come live with me and be my love.
And just when you thought a rose was just a rose…
Written by author April McCallum, a hopeless romantic with a love of artistic gardening and landscape design.
