Native plant companions for roses
 

Since roses in and of themselves are not native plants, I wouldn't think you'd
find a good list, but garlic is an excellent companion to roses. Roses have
poor root systems and benefit by having mycorrhizae on their roots. If you
plant legumes under roses they benefit from the nitrogen.

Other than that, I only have one rose, two actually. An antique 'Sombruiel'
and a Rosa rugosa. Both have iris planted under them, which are good companions
to roses.

BTW, I wrote your address down, but my husband cleaned up and accidentally threw
it out. Sent it to

Native plant companions for roses
 

I know they aren't natives. I was asked by the local rose society to see
if I could develop a presentation on this. Looks like "not". I did find
asome data on "organic rose gardening" that favors the soilfoodweb.

Regarding the address (and this has been going on for about 3 weeks now
with the austin.rr.com and animaux.net - thats why I started posting my
address to this group. Surely, you have noticed it?)

I found some frogfruit along a right-of-way.
