Roses are great mixed in with perennials and other shrubs. The combination will provide color throughout the year. Hedges - Fence or boundary formed by a dense row of shrubs. They do need full sun, lose their leaves in winter and cannot be shaped into neat shapes with shears, but the prickly stems are animal and child-safe. Specimens - Grown to be admired as a single plant.
Shrubs are excellent where space is adequate.
Great for suppressing weeds, and hiding unsightly banks and obstacles such as manhole covers. Tubs - Great for patios, decks, and city terraces. Use plastic-covered wire ties to attach stems, leaving room for stems to grow. To This how-to is provided as a service of Lowe's Home Improvement Warehouse . Please read our terms of use .
