A Fragrant Garden Haven Idea
Planting Roses, Rose Gardening, Designing with Roses, English Roses
Dreaming of a resting spot where you could surround yourself with fragrance, color, and beauty? Why don't you inspire yourself from this vignette and re-create a similar garden refuge? Grow a profusely blooming rose bush around a sitting area, add cheerful Lychnis coronaria (Rose Campion), Statuesque Alliums (Ornamental Onions), and cool blue Geraniums to create an intimate garden room that will invite you to sit in the shade of the glorious and fragrant rose blossoms.
All plants are recipients of prestigious awards. Easy to grow, they will attract the energy of butterflies. Enjoy!
