Thank's for the ideas. I do have creeping thyme in another part of my
garden and didn't even consider it for the rose bed. It would work
great to fill in the area.

Try growing 'Mother of Thyme'(Thymus Praecox). It's hardy to zone 3.
I just bought some from Logee's.



or Creeping Thyme (Thymus serpyllum) or any of the Creeping Mints.
Not only do they make a nice, fine textured groundcover, but they
release a heavenly scent when tread upon.
