Re: Texture in the Rose Garden

I don't know about texture, but I like Bergenia cordifolia around the edges
of the rose beds.  The big glossy round leaves ( and they are low growing so
they don't obstruct the view) make a good contrast with the roses and then
in the fall they turn bright red.
I am also quite fond of lavender near roses-the different leaf and flower
shapes make a good contrast and I like the pink roses set off against the
blue/purple lavender blooms.  Works well with white roses too, not quite as
well with other colours in my opinion.
