They mix well with other shrubs, perennials or ground covers. Many have long blooming periods. Most are commonly available. Buy old or species types from specialty nurseries.

These small, multi-branched shrubs to small single-trunked trees are known for their ornamental flowers, bark and foliage. The large showy clusters of flowers range from white to pink to red to purple. The upright-arching trunks have gray to brown bark, which peels away to reveal the smooth pale-pink inner bark. Plant against a light-colored wall for the best effect.

Bred to have perfect, exquisitely-formed buds and long cuttable stems, the base of the plants tend to be bare and have somewhat angular top growth. Because of their pruning and maintenance requirements, and for easy viewing, many gardeners grow them in formal rose beds. They are also grown in natrual- or casual-style gardens. While leaving them accessible for pruning and care, mix them with other shrubs and perennials to hide their awkward shapes. Easy to find, nurseries, hardware stores and some grocery stores sell them in spring. Fri, 03 Sep 2010 0:23:37 MSThttp://www.sunnygardens.com/garden_plants/rosa/rosa_2515.php
