Rose Garden Design

The variety of roses you select depends on the space you have available, if you only have small area then perhaps miniature roses are the best bet. Standard roses require more space and climbing roses also need space so they can stay healthy, so they should be planted at least 8 feet apart.

Once you have determined the varieties, you can then decide on the colors. Roses are available in many colors, but the old breeds provide roses that are easier to care for as they are sturdier. You could design our rose garden in patterns too by planting different varieties including different sizes roses with miniature roses in between.
