What works well with your roses? I am thinking what to plant amongst the roses to a) complement the colour and scent b) prolong the flowering season of the bed c) keep the roses healthy.
Lavender and applemint will go with my olympic roses from this year. With the other roses (generous gardner, gertrude jekyll, munstead wood, dr du jamain I am thinking alliums, achillea, but have got a bit stuck and it would be interesting to know what works well in your gardens. For example do you plant clematis with your roses and if so, does it choke the rose?
The other question is what to plant in that shady area under the climbing roses where the rose overhangs a bit of the garden bed.
