Pay attention to landscape roses. Each individual flower may not be too large and not particularly terry, but together they create powerful and vibrant bushes. Landscape roses look great in a composition with perennials. Consider this when you start the May redevelopment of flower beds. Here are the most effective and unpretentious combinations.
Rose “Bonika-82” and a blue Carpathian bell create a delicate color scheme and will delight you with three waves of fragrant bloom from July to the very frost. This variety hibernates without shelter.
“Hello” – ground cover rose with double crimson flowers 6–10 cm in diameter. Its growth rate and vitality competes with the most powerful weeds. Carries up to -35 degrees without shelter.
Deborah – decorative and unusually strong rose. In the first year after planting, it does not grow tall, its shoots tend to the ground, so it is often confused with a groundcover rose. But it is worth taking root, and in the second or third year it “shoots” strong and strong shoots up to 80-100 cm tall.
Nаdia refers to super-surviving varieties. In terms of stability and properties, it is similar to “Hello”, but unlike this variety, it has a strong aroma, smells like gardenia, its flowers are yellow, and turn white closer to wilting.
Pullman Orient Express French selection and “Madame Mayan” will appeal to lovers of hybrid tea varieties. Disease resistant, grow up to 1,0-1,2 m, strong odor.

Include roses in your border flower garden. Place tall roses, tall late-flowering lilies and Siberian irises in the background. In the foreground there are ground cover roses, dwarf irises, white Iberis and alpine carnations, and fill the middle with botanical or dwarf tulips, medium-sized roses and Superba catnip. You will get a flower garden, constantly decorative – from early spring to late autumn.
