Color combination rules

Tall plants can be used as accent crops. There should be no more than 3 bushes in order not to hide the pink lashes. You can use cereal crops (Chinese miscanthus) for accent planting. You can emphasize the zones of the flower garden with the help of herbs (spartina, reed grass or lightning blue).

Shade rose gardens with coniferous crops. Juniper is decorative all year round, it is recommended to plant several small trees for a large flower bed. Accent zones can be created with tall, spectacularly flowering perennials, which can be planted in small groups in a rose garden. It is important to choose matching shades.

For the background in the rose garden, cultures are selected that retain aesthetics for a long time. For these purposes, a cuff, various host species, compact spireas, medium-sized herbs, low conifers and bright geraniums are used.

To create a flower garden with a rich color scheme, you can include decorative deciduous shrubs with leaves of different shades in the composition. Decorative wormwood, sheep or purse, etc. are well combined with roses of white and lilac, pink shades. Roses orange, ocher, golden shades can be shaded with purple heuchera, shaggy sedge chocolate tones and etc.

Plants with small flowers are used as background crops that give the flower garden a complete look. In the rose garden, gypsophila, different varieties of heuchera, etc. look aesthetically pleasing. Roses with large buds crimson, light pink shades go well with flowers of other cultures with small lilac buds.

When planting plants, their features are taken into account. Bushes that need good lighting are not recommended to be placed near tall rose gardens, which create shade for the flower garden. Crops that grow quickly are not suitable, because roses will grow and bloom worse.

Clematis are harmoniously combined with pink plantings. Clematis are planted near climbing varieties of roses, which in the climate of central Russia need to be removed from supports and closed for the winter. Clematis are chosen as fast-growing, winter-hardy varieties, which are pruned in autumn.

In combination with climbing varieties, late blooming hybrid crops with large flowers, unusual colors look good. With roses of bush varieties, cultures from the group of medium-sized ones look harmoniously. When choosing colors, the compatibility of shades is taken into account, the gamut can be contrasting or monotonous with different intensity of colors. Plants have deep roots and are therefore planted closely (60 cm apart).

After wintering, the shelters are removed in April, the whips are lifted and tied to the supports.
