Jackson & Perkins Rose Companions

Growing Annuals, Perennials, Bulbs, Shrubs and Vines with Roses
by Stephen Scanniello

Since few of us have the space to grow roses in beds by themselves, and many houses do not relate well to plants grown in this formal manner, most folks are going to put rose bushes into the garden, where they will have to mix with all those plants. As Stephen Scanniello says in his introduction, this book is about how to get roses to play well with others. Formerly rose curator at Brooklyn Botanic Garden, Scanniello explains not just how to grow roses but “how to create a garden with roses.”

Rose Companions will give gardeners of all levels ideas for exciting plant combinations, whether you already have an established garden and want to add roses and other plants to it, or you are growing roses and want to enhance them with companion plants, or you are starting from scratch and have always dreamed of a garden lush with flowers—including roses.
