Herbs And Roses ... Herb Garden and Roses is equal to Romance

Romantic garden scenes from movies that make you want to cry... Yes you can create them! All you need to do is combine Herbs and Roses together. They used to be planted frequently together in monastery gardens in order to increase each other's charm. Make sure you follow these 2 vital points if you wish to have a herb garden like this:

  1. Do not use too much fertilizer as the Herbs and Roses will grow too quickly.

  2. Cutting the flowers back regularly in the Spring will preserve the shape of the Herbs and Roses.

Good Company Of Roses

Among the best companions of the Rose is the herb Sage. Sage keeps nuisance pests at bay and complements the Roses in colour. Thyme and Lavender compliment Roses and Rose bushes in sunny areas very well. Just keep an eye out for those 2 garden pests, the Slug and the Snail.
