Companion Plants for Roses

Veggie gardeners know the value of companion planting, but the very same concepts apply to selecting good companion plants in your ornamental garden beds. Roses make excellent neighbors, and they benefit greatly from the biological diversity of sharing beds with other plant families. In this video, I talk a bit about the carrot, daisy, mustard and mint families - which make wonderful additions to the rose garden. Aside from supporting beneficial insects and stable pest populations, companions help to round out your ornamental display with different colors, textures, bloom form and timing.
