Where space permits, roses can be cultivated together in a special garden.
This consists of a number of beds grouped together in a simple design.
Construction of rose garden involves design, choice of varieties, preparation of soil and planting.
In case of a formal design, rose garden needs a focal point.
This type of garden does not need, of course , be of formal design, as roses can be equally attractive in an irregular enclosure and in beds of informal shape, provided that the garden is planned for pictorial effect
The paths or space between the beds can be composed of grass, which always forms a pleasing setting to bright display of flowers of any kind of gravel or broken flagstones.
The layout of such garden may vary from the simple bed of hybrid tea roses surrounded by turf to elaborate designs.
This may include climbers and ramblers on walls or rustic arches and fences together with uniform borders of floribundas, standards, weeping standards and several beds of hybrid tea roses.
Miniature and polyantha roses can also serve useful purposes in border and edges.
This type of garden will offer good opportunities for growing of many attractive roses species too.
