By training a fabulous, fragrant climbing or rambling rose up a wall or or fence, you can convert a dull, even unsightly area into one of the most stunning features in your garden. It draws the eye up from the ground, providing colour and blooms at eye level. Similarly, placing a rose behind a border on a wall or fence will increase the impact and visual depth of the bed.

Roses offer wonderful impact and privacy when planted in hedgerows. Regardless of area size, plant a single variety along a well defined line to create a simple colour block effect. Why not give a small urban garden an edge, frame the perimeter of a grand property, or scale a large boundary fence with a rose hedge? It's a simple and easy-to-maintain way to bring linear style and privacy to your garden and add protection all year round.

Brighten up the front of your house with a magnificent climbing rose. A climbing rose can transform any home with its colourful blooms. A climber grown on the wall of your house will often be the earliest garden rose to flower due to the additional warmth the wall provides. Another benefit of growing a rose on the wall of your house, or on a wall or fence near to your house, is that the beauty and fragrance of the rose’s blooms can be enjoyed at close quarters

Planting a fragrant, colourful rose next to a doorway makes for an enticing entrance. Plant pots either side of the doorstep for a formal look or why not train a climber up the wall for real impact.
