How about keeping the tree prunned and the leaves raked and rake out the
soil around the roses and put a bag of fresh in each season? All trees
produce something, usually in decaying leaves, that discourages growth and
germination of plants around them. I believe most often this effect is
through acid ph of the decaying process more than anything else. Can you
post an aerial photo of your house? Something in Google earth perhaps so
we can get an idea?
