Roses are a wonderful decoration for the garden.
But if you choose the wrong flowerbed neighbors for these fragile flowers, you should not expect lush and beautiful flowering.
The fact is that in this case, plants will only compete for nutrition, moisture, and may also begin to negatively influence each other.
What you shouldn't plant roses with
You shouldn't plant a rose next to a rhododendron or hydrangea. The thing is that they prefer acidic soils, while roses like neutral soil. In addition, hydrangeas grow actively, which means they will shade roses that love sunlight.
Roses will look beautiful against the backdrop of hosta, but they are unlikely to get along well together.
You should also avoid planting roses and peonies nearby.
As for trees, roses should not be planted next to birches. In this case, the flowers simply will not be able to please the eye, since the tree will take all the moisture for itself.
