Turn on the Charm with Climbing Roses |
|
|
Once your veggies are planted, the annuals are potted, and the perennials are sprouting, it feels like the last thing you have room for is roses. But look up—that's where the space is.
Follow our tips to add color and height to your garden with climbing roses:
Windows, doors, and walls
Grow roses over your front door or around windows to create gorgeous views from inside and outside. Pick a sturdy, highly fragrant repeat bloomer, such as 'Pink Perpetue' or 'Sympathie' (both Zones 5 to 9).
Free-standing trellises and fences
Climbing roses make a great screen for an undesirable view—like an air conditioner, your neighbor's yard, or a fence. Short, dense climbers like the hybrid musk 'Lavender Lassie' (Zones 5 to 9) are perfect for a chain-link fence.
