Roses have long been a favorite among all types of gardeners,
and roses continue to enjoy great popularity today. In addition
to their beauty as cut flowers and in bouquets, roses are among
the most useful and attractive flowers to grace the landscape of
any home.
As a matter of fact, the exterior of any home can be made more
graceful and more inviting through the use of wonderful
landscape roses. Choosing the right ones, and ensuring that they
compliment the overall style of the home, is very important to
the overall success of the landscape.
Fortunately, the number of ornamental landscape roses make
finding them an easy task. The difficulty consists of choosing
the right ones from this variety. There are a number of classes
of roses whose characteristics make them great for use as
landscape ornamentals. For instance, the gardener who wants to
grow roses up and over an archway or a trellis may want to use
tall growing tea roses. Tea roses are renowned for their nodding
blooms, therefore all who pass under the arch would be treated
to the beautiful sight of roses in full bloom.

length of the structure, or accenting the tops and sides of a
wall or building.
The Polyantha or modern day Floribunda rose is a great choice
for gardeners looking for a vibrant splash of color for the
background. These popular varieties of roses have large sprays
of blooms, and they are popular choices for providing color in
the landscape.
If roses are to be planted in front of other plants in the
landscape, miniature or low growing China roses are a perfect
choice. Roses can even be used as hedges, with modern Shrub
roses and Rugosa roses being excellent choices.
Of course, as with any aspect of gardening, color is an
important consideration. After all, every gardener's goal is a
garden full of colorful, vibrant and healthy plants.
Fortunately, roses come in so many shapes, sizes, textures and
colors that there truly is a rose for every gardener.
The goal of choosing the best color roses for the landscape
should be to compliment the color of the surrounding landscape.
For instance, a spray of plain white tea roses can be striking
against a dark red brick home, or an arrangement of pink roses
can be the perfect compliment to a stone or marble entranceway.
