Adding Roses to your Garden and landscape architecture

Flash forward to today, and the roses are the symbol of lasting love and romance. Fortunately, however, modern agriculture has made it easier than ever to add roses to your garden and landscape architecture.
Traditional grown roses have always required a lot of work – pruning, deadheading, protect against disease and drought, and bring them to the whole environment to grow up right. Through careful breeding, roses are designed for easy maintenance and efforts to minimize and maximize the beauty, hardness and resistance to disease.

“I was hooked on roses by a plant in the garden of my parents,” said Bill Rose Amateur Radler, developer of the Knock Out Rose.”Over the years, I think growing roses is to be happy with less work, so I looked for ways to maintain the requirement to lift and total.”
brainchild of Radler began in 2000 and was almost literally an instant success, winning the prestigious All-American Rose Selections years Award. Rose enthusiasts, designers, landscapers and almost everyone likes the look of roses, but not work, embraced the concept and easy to grow.
To celebrate the 10th anniversary Knock Out, the landscape designer Susan Cohan, Landscape Designers Society of Professional Journalists, offers 10 simple ways to use roses in the landscape:
1. Add a splash of color to the landscape. Could you benefit from the courtyard of the color of interest to? Try rose bushes planted in a permanent, around the foundation or addition to color and texture to add. The flowers of bright colors and constant work as a showy specimen plant or in groups of three to five plants for a great show of color.
2. Use it as a problem solver. Having an ugly place to cover as a tool shed or trash pool pump? Cohan like to plant a few rose bushes to hide these problems because they know that in a few months the site will be transformed into a mass of flowers perky creating a beautiful focal point.
3. Create a “friend” of the closure. Do you have a place in your garden, where all through cuts, you do not want them to go, or when you need them just out? Colorful rose fences are beautiful to watch, while discouraging unwanted movement of people and animals.
4. Set the mood. Cohan recommends the use of color to create atmosphere in the garden. For example, red and yellow and pink and blue color combinations have a dramatic effect, with a variety of shades of pink as the Knock Out roses and pink roses, geraniums Artemisia, a soothing atmosphere.
5. Provide a natural habitat. Gardening for nature is in fashion. Use landscape shrub roses start a garden for wildlife habitat creation.Roses provide food and shelter for all wildlife-friendly. Thorns keep away from predators and rosehips to keep animals and birds fed during the harsh winter months.
6. Pot this patio or terrace. Tired of that container replanting each year? Pot them up in place of rose bushes and vines in soles of Vinca and ivy. This offer color and subtle flavor without the work of plants in the garden.
7. Breaking the rules. Replace with an annual landscape shrub roses. Why plant geraniums or impatiens, year after year? For the season, every year a mass planting of rose bushes is an excellent alternative. Choose a color that will showcase your perennials to help.
8. Painting a colorful background. Too much green in your garden and not enough color? Shrub Roses are also a great way for a border or background to create a pleasant landscape. Cohan likes bright conditions, red roses against a brick wall for maximum impact.
9. Pair pink with fellow right. Let your roses segregation plant with roses and other shrubs, perennials and annuals, even. Here are some good companions, companion plants such as lobelia blue, blueberry, blue flax, hyacinths, Veronica, Ageratum and companion plants such as heliotrope purple are good with yellow, pink and white roses.
10. Use it as a tree on the patio or deck. If a rose not a rose?When he grew up as a small tree. Known standards has increased, this mini-roses make a splash of color in the corner of a terrace or patio.
