Another plus is I have found that when daisies are planted in front of my roses the deer have a tendency to go away them alone. Its gentle, mounding behavior enhances the structure of rose bushes. A low-maintenance perennial, the sturdy scent deters aphids and Japanese beetles while suppressing weeds.
Sea holly’s rigid construction is a unbelievable contrast to gentle, round rose blooms. Coneflowers type good-sized clumps, but don’t unfold aggressively. The most well-known is the lavender Echinacea purpurea, but coneflowers can are available in vivid raspberry-red, rusty orange, neon pink, or even multicolor versions.
You can choose from an enormous menu of sedum varieties, however my favorites for rising with roses are ‘Autumn Joy’ and ‘Chocolate Drop’. If you’re a lazy gardener like me, you’ll love long-blooming, low-maintenance sedum. Astrantia is a pretty perennial that repels slugs and snails and works as a “trap plant” for aphids. I love growing these rose companion crops en masse behind a row of mini roses. But these joyful little orange, purple, and yellow flowers can provide a service to your roses, too!
For conventional cottage gardens lined with roses, lady’s mantle is the proper perennial pairing. Alyssum’s low-growing nature creates a beautiful carpet of soft-colored flowers. Lavender grows best in USDA Zones 5-9 and so lengthy as they get full sun, they’ll flourish.
