what rose combinations have worked well for you please?

The grass is going this winter as little chimney prefers to play in the park across the road leaving an 8 ft by 4 ft rose border yay! Im not going to plant colour blocks this time so taking i even love clashing colours what rose combos have worked well for u please?

 

I think I was lucky to get away with this colour combination CRG. The only issue that's turned up is a height problem. A couple of the taller growing ones are at the front of the bed and really should have been house wall side.

I found it's best to split up dark and light colours, alternating if you like, so that it creates an even balance across the bed. Before my roses arrived I ran off small pictures of them all from the internet and laid them out together in the formation they would be in the bed, then switched them around to get the right colour balance.

 

That looks great sheal and is very helpful thank you. I can remember u planning the layout

 

Came across this gem of a link pencil drawings of jekyll gardens wonderful http://www.ced.berkeley.edu/cedarchives/profiles/jekyll.htm

 

I am growing mostly patio roses in pots, so I can just move the pots around until I like the colour combination.
