When using roses in the landscape, consider mixing them with perennials. The roses provide continuous color while the perennials go in and out of bloom. For perennial borders too small to accommodate tall roses, you can add lots of color by edging the garden with miniature roses. Climbers and ramblers are excellent for camouflaging unsightly buildings, fences and walls. These vigorous plants grow rapidly and will completely cover the worst eyesore with blooms in just a season or two.
Roses also create a beautiful, fragrant border along a deck or patio.
Choose white or light-colored roses if you use the patio at, because they'll show up better in the dark. Use compact minis and floribundas for best results in containers for small city gardens and balconies. Move the pots around to create different effects. Hedge Roses A rose hedge adds elegance to a yard. Tall shrubs make excellent privacy screens.
