Lesson 15:Specialised Gardens

Rose Garden

  • 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.
