About the program:
Join us for an engaging evening! Whether you’re cultivating a formal rose garden or blending blooms with edibles and ornamentals, discover how companion planting can transform your rose-growing experience into a thriving, sustainable symphony of color and life.
Companion planting offers a holistic approach to rose gardening, enhancing both the health and splendor of rose beds through thoughtful plant partnerships. This presentation delves into the science and practical wisdom behind selecting ideal companions for roses—plants that deter pests, attract beneficial insects, and enrich the surrounding soil. Learn how integrating perennials can create a vibrant ecosystem, minimize the need for chemical interventions, and help roses reach their full blooming potential. We’ll discuss specific plant combinations that promote resilience and fragrance and examine how biodiversity in your garden not only protects your roses but elevates their beauty and vigor.
