Deciding on Creating a Rose Garden
Jan 27th, 2010 by Myarticle

If you decide to create a rose garden, then there are many directions you can take in your design. You can go very formal, with clipped and shaped hedges and lots of symmetry and straight lines. Or you can go in the opposite direction, with less rigid lines but lots of lush growth. The wonder of roses is that you don’t just have a fantastic range of colors to choose from, but have bushes that grow to different heights, have different foliage, and have differently shaped flowers as well. There are a thousand possibilities for your garden design.

You need to be aware of a few things before starting your rose garden, however. Since it will be created primarily from only one type of plant, any diseases, insects or other problems that affect only one rose bush will likely affect them all. However, some are more disease-resistant than others, so if you mix a few of those with the more delicate hybrid teas, you might lower the maintenance required. Also keep in mind that roses don’t tend to look very attractive wrapped up in the winter, so you’ll need to be content with enjoying the beauty of the garden in the warmer months.

You might, however, plant your rose garden with hedged borders of small evergreens, so you will still have some green in the winter. This works well with more formal gardens, where flower beds or boxes are arranged in symmetric, carefully defined patterns. A formal garden uses straight lines, often with graveled walkways between beds, sometimes with a rose garden pool set in the center. On the other hand, you may prefer a less formal arrangement with the roses collected together into one area. In this case, you would arrange them both by color and height, perhaps with rose ground covers along the edges of the bed to conceal the bare ground.

Even with just a few decorative elements, you can make your rose garden a peaceful, beautiful place to be. For example, you might set an arch over a path, with climbing roses growing over it, and create the impression that visitors are entering some sort of bower. Adding a rose pool or pots of trailing roses along pathways can make the garden an idyllic setting. With good planning and watchful care of your roses, you will make a garden that will be both a pleasure and a refuge for you.
