Installing Rose Gardens in Santa Barbara
When planting rose gardens, perhaps the most important thing to consider is climate. Roses prefer heat in the summer and cold in the winter. A properly designed and installed rose garden in Santa Barbara will flourish in our microclimates, but for gardens facing or close to the beach, roses require special care. They require specialty fertilization and the application of horticultural oils to prevent the spread of mildew and insects.
We love to apply our landscaping knowledge and expertise to rose gardens, nurturing the inherent beauty of the roses, and nurturing the most colorfully fragrant blooms.
Schedule a meeting with us to discuss your interest in creating a Rose Garden in Santa Barbara, Ventura, Santa Ynez, Oxnard, Ventura or Ojai.
Traditional Rose Garden Design
If you prefer a symmetrical look, we can design a traditional, formal rose garden,. These neat and manicured gardens are laid out in a rectangle or square. Traditional rose gardens are enclosed with paving stones, railroad ties, retaining walls or sod to section off the garden from surrounding landscape plants.
Place tree roses in each of the four corners with hybrids and shrub roses in the middle. You will create the most artistic look possible if you plant roses in groups of colors. Plant your rose garden with cool shades of yellows and whites together or warmer shades of pinks and reds as a group.
Always allow plenty of room for future growth between plant materials
Cottage Rose Garden Design
Use your imagination and creativity when designing the cottage rose garden. The cottage rose garden does not appear to have any structure at all. That is the beauty of it.
Plant your favorite roses! The only rule is that each and everyone have the space to grow and be properly admired. Intersperse ground covers, flowers, logs and stones among the roses for a carefree rose garden filled with beauty.
