What To Grow With Roses.

Question

I’ve a beautiful climbing yellow flower on a very wide trellis and wish to grow if possible a blue flowering plant. What one do you recommended if any. A blue rose would be perfect and I had some along my back fence when I lived in Scotland but finding it impossible to get a blue climbing rose here. Thanks for any advice.

Answer 1

Perhaps one of the blue flowering Geraniums would meet the need. They are typically less invasive than other plants. Roses do not like a lot of competition for their nutrition or water, so I would space the companion plants out well.
