Roses sometimes don't get along well with some plants.
In this article we will tell you what can and cannot be planted next to roses.
What neighborhood doesn't like roses
Refrain from planting some excessively ornamental plants among roses.
For example, dahlias, gladioli, tuberous begonias, peonies.
They bloom at approximately the same time, eclipsing everything around with their exorbitant decorativeness.
In addition, roses can be hampered by the large roots of other plants.
Therefore, the rose does not tolerate proximity to trees - birch, maple, poplar and willow.
These trees can take water and nutrients from the soil from roses, and also shade them with their crown.
Rose also does not like plants that prefer acidic soil.
Peony, like roses, is actively developing, has powerful roots and large flowers.
Accordingly, it is better to choose a less aggressive companion and not plant a rose and a peony next to each other.
There should be no competition between plants for resources: soil, sun, moisture.
What can you plant next to roses
Experienced gardeners plant foxglove, geranium and mantle next to the rose.
The cuff is the most advantageous location for a rose.
Carved leaves and light green flowers cover the base of the rose bushes and highlight the brightness and richness of the blooming roses.
In addition, the proximity to marigolds is successful in this regard.
When planted between rose bushes, marigolds will suppress various viral diseases that affect roses.
