Recommended plants for underplanting standard roses
Hi,
i have a row of standard 'iceberg' roses that require some under- planting. I have looked at lavender and like the way it hedges up and the standards appear above However I am looking for other options. The garden also contains a small copse of Betula pendula nearby. I am in Melbourne VIC. thanks in advance jamesd -- |
I cant help you with your request, but I have read that if you plant garlic
near your roses that they help each other. Apparently they both suffer from bugs and diseases and putting the two together helps keep some of the problems away. I put the garlic behind my row of roses and both seem to be doing very well. Dwayne "jpd1009" wrote in message ... Hi, i have a row of standard 'iceberg' roses that require some under- planting.

Well, it would depend on your colour scheme, wouldn't it? All you are looking for are perennials up to about 80cm, as far as we can tell. You could try visiting the Digger's Club nursery (Heronswood, in Dromana) for some ideas. -- Chookie -- Sydney, Australia (Replace "foulspambegone" with "optushome" to reply) "In Melbourne there is plenty of vigour and eagerness, but there is nothing worth being eager or vigorous about."
