Sweet as a Rose

Fill your yard with fabulous scents and colours. Roses are perfect for any cottage garden, and are easier to grow than you think!

Roses, hedges and lavender are essential for a wonderful formal garden. Standard roses among dark green foliage look striking so choose a crisp white Iceberg rose for the job. Camellias, box hedges and carpet roses look great teamed together in height order – allow the carpet roses to spill over pathways for an extra burst of colour. And of course, silvery leaves and fresh green grass tone well with pastel petals: think pale yellow, pinks and oranges for this classic look.
