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.

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.

I am SOOOOOOoooooooooooo sorry! This is what happened. My husband is a geek.
A big, honkin geek who has so many fire wall, spam traps, mail washers that, he
puts people into the filter if he doesn't recognize them. I have FOUND your
name on a blacklist and removed it. For arguments sake, send me another email
so we can breath! I still may have things for you in the way of native plants.
Try one more time!



I am truly, and deeply sorry. When Mark comes home I will explain that not
every post in email is spam!!!!!!!!!!!! For the MILLIONTH time!

I am sure if you presented native plants used in conjunction with roses, just
about any salvia, coreopsis, lupins, poppies, or just about any type of legume
or even ground cover which is native would be good as companions to roses. Use
of native plants near roses is actually a good idea since they are not
fertilizer hogs and roses are!

Salvia's are great near roses, too. In particular, S.coccinea, which comes in
several colors; 'Coral Nymph' is a beauty, as is 'Alba' and there are red forms.
They are tropical salvia, but I've had them reseed very well. Gaura linheimerii
is another nice plant under a rose. If cut back several times in the season, it
will bloom almost continuously.

Those are a few other options which may not be totally native (Gaura is) and
which will do well with roses.

A suggestion from rec.gardens -

"If it is a presentation you have been asked to give for your local rose
society, then I would focus on the native plants and wildflowers in your
area. If not the internet and google, there should be a number of
resources
available to you - a local native plant society, field books etc, maybe
a
nursery that specializes in native plants. Then it is just a matter of
determining which natives look good in combination with roses and like
the
same growing conditions."

The results -

Affirmation! This is precisely what my discovery work revealed today
with my local chapter native plant society, a rose organization person
other than the requester and a walk-through at 2 native plant farms.
