In fact, it's really easy to create a rose garden that blooms all summer with only minimal attention from you. Here are some tips to get you started. Rose gardens add beauty and fragrance to any home. When you're buying roses for your garden, don't forget to include fragrant varieties. Having some scented varieties in your planting plans will perfume your entire garden.
Roses are sun worshipers.
Be sure to plant them where they'll receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight a day. Because roses have shallow root systems, it's best to use a long-handled cultivator instead of a traditional hoe. For best effect, plant roses of complementary colors next to each other. If you plant a jumble of colors together, your garden could end up looking more like a circus than a bed of roses. Climbers and ramblers trained on a trellis or arbor can add drama, color, and fragrance to any garden setting.
