Roses of Special Merit

Roses for Pillars, Arches, Walls and Fences

Recommended Roses

The garden is now seen as a natural extension of the living area. It has changed from the formal setting for a dwelling house to become another 'room' in which we eat, rest and play. The 'walls' of our outside 'room' can be clothed by climbers, with colours chosen to fit our decorative tastes.

New vistas can be created in the garden, or unsightly areas can be screened by using wooden, or other frames, pillars or arches. Uninteresting expanses of wall can be disguised with a cover of roses, which can bloom from late spring to the onset of winter frosts. There are many wonderful modern climbers to grace any garden. Many of them can be interplanted with other forms of climbing plants, such as Clematis, for an even better display.
