When selecting roses for your garden and for your backyard design, the architectural shape and ultimate dimension is important. They give form to the landscape and proportion to its elements. Fortunately, you can grow roses almost anywhere that gets six hours of sun a day. Grow them as flowering shrubs, in mixed beds and borders, among herbs in containers, under planted with annuals, surrounding a mailbox, screening a fence scrambling up trees, trailing over arches or arbors, and cascading down a bank or over a stone wall. Environmental factors and personal preference aren’t the only considerations that influence the selection process. How a rose is used in landscape also determines which one is best. If you intend to train the rose up a wall or along a fence then climbing roses or ramblers are best. The key to ensure that the variety or varieties you choose are suitable for the use you have in mind.
