If you’re seeking easy-to-care-for flowers that provide beauty and charm for perennial borders, consider Bellflowers, especially as companions for Roses. Their synchronized blooming periods create delightful combinations that enhance any garden with vibrant bouquets of color and texture.
In this particular blend, the fragrant blossoms of the David Austin-bred English Rose ‘Sharifa Asma’ beautifully harmonize with the Peach-Leaved Bellflower (Campanula persicifolia). The Rose’s romantic petals, showcasing a soft rose-pink hue and a classic cup-shaped form, mingle seamlessly with the upright pillars of the Bellflower’s pure white, bell-shaped flowers that face outward along the stem. The interplay of shapes, colors, and forms creates an enchanting visual spectacle.
This combination reaches its peak of beauty in late spring or early summer. The Roses, known for their intense, almost intoxicating scent, fill the air with their exquisite aroma during this season. Meanwhile, the contrast of the gentle pink Roses against the stark white Bellflowers adds an element of visual interest that is especially striking during this period.
In sum, the fusion of the David Austin-bred English Rose ‘Sharifa Asma’ with the Peach-Leaved Bellflower generates a captivating display that is both carefree and stunning. This pairing offers not only the ease of maintenance but also an olfactory and visual treat that is bound to make your garden an appealing and inviting space throughout the blooming season.
