Your Most Beautiful Rose and Annual, Plant, Perennial Pairing
Comments (17)It was a real adjustment going from east coast to west coast on this front. I was very fond of astrantias and hardy geraniums back there. Now, my favorite companions are centered on what can take the dry heat and intense sun, along with having a long bloom period, and is on the "spikey" side, or at least has a different texture, to contrast with the roses. Tall nicotianas (my favorites with roses are 'Lime Green' -- Melissa's acid green yellow, for sure-- and an accidental hybrid between 'Lime Green' and white N. alata that is pale green and so scented it wafts all over in evening). Agastaches ("Nectar" series a little more manageable and lots of colors, though as Rosefolly points out, can be obnoxious). Penstemon pinifolius: orange, short, tidy, tough. Aster x frikartii 'Monch': I was shocked this works as well here as it does -- year in, year out, heat tolerant, very easy on the water bill, blooms for like forever. Salvia 'May Night', ditto. Hardy geraniums are mostly not heat-tolerant enough, except Geranium harveyi (odd one from S. Africa) and 'Brookside'. A bunch of species oreganos, teucriums, and saturejas as drought-proof edges. Tea 'Le Pactole' this morning heading into a big flush (I expect her to eat her companions in a few short years) Also this morning, other side of the path (Penstemon pinifolius is on lower right):...See MoreShow off your beautiful climbing roses

Comments (46)Part of my post disappeared :(. Diane earth angel is a slow re bloomer and not super productive. In that image I have 3 planted together. I am hopping in the future it will improve. Desdémona on the other had does produce hundreds of blooms. Ohhh vapor I wish I could send you one of my huge monsters. I cut down desire down to the ground this winter and is back to 7 feet tall canes. I meant for Desdemona to cascade over dark desire’s red blooms with lichfield angel on front. Now I have dark desire smothering everything on its path and can’t even see Desdémona unless I circle to the back of the bed. I have trouble making things happen how I imagine it....See MoreHere are my most globular roses, show me yours!
Comments (31)Dianela, Opps that is Star of the Republic, not Spirit of Freedom, I don’t know where my brain was.....lol. I don’t even own SoF! But I see so many pictures of that amazing rose here, it feels like I have owned it at some point :-) I also love changeable blooms! My Compassion climber has colors anywhere from medium pink, cool weather, to light apricot, hot weather. I will now go edit that post in Safari/browser to correct it. The Houzz app doesn’t seem to have a feature to let you edit. I am also limited to 4 photos per comment in app. Shelia, those darned critters! Amazing that it survived. Just goes to show how hardy roses can be....See Morerosecanadian
