Rose Gardens Harbor Flowers For Color ContinuityRose gardens are typically defined as a flower garden whose primary flowers are roses. Although additional varieties of annuals and perennials may be planted in the garden to help provide consistent colors throughout the growing season, much like is done at the White House rose gardens. Roses planted in this area would normally be garden roses due to their consistent growth height, although miniature roses also fit into the overall scheme. Climbing roses or roaming roses may also be used to create a flow of color, provided the colors of the roses remained consistent and not mixed in color that do not combine in a pleasing atmosphere. Summer exchanges of annuals keep rose gardens alive with vivid colors all summer long. Many annuals are chosen for their colors to be used to keep rose colors flowing. Other Communities Offer Viewing Of Rose Gardens The rose gardens at Berkeley are considered one of the best in the country. Housing over 3,000 rose bushes including 250 varieties that provide their fragrance. Pruning begins in January in preparation for Mother's Day, which is typically the busiest day for visitors in the Berkeley rose gardens. Developing rose gardens takes more than simply planting a variety of rose bushes in a select area. The growing needs of the variety of roses chosen have to be considered and mixing species can be tricky if their needs are not the same. Additionally, the plants intermingled with roses must be adaptable to the same growth requirements or one or the other will suffer. For example, roses will require six or seven hours of sunshine each day, preferably morning sun with shade during the afternoon hours. Many plans will wither and die in the bright sunshine and should not be planted in the same area as roses. Conversely, many plants requiring sunshine will need more than six hours and thrive in periods of day-long sunshine. This can be harmful to rose gardens that expose the bushes for eight to 10 hours of sunlight. |
