Garlic and onions !!

Parsely. It gets rid of the bugs that get on roses

Parsley! great, thanks for the tip, I got lots of seed saved for it. So far I have been planting various greens. I now have arugula, mesclun lettuce mix, dill, oregano, and garlic. They make little patches between the roses and look quite nice. I just sowed red lettuces, red mustard, green mustards and romaine lettuce, waiting for the last few to sprout.

When I had roses I planted garlic, repels jap beetles and makes the rose scent stronger

Mind that the previous owners didn't contaminate the soil around the rose bushes with pesticides. Strong systemic insecticide/fertilizer combination products are commonly applied to eliminate sucking pests on roses and keep nutrient levels up. Multiple different products, with perhaps quite variable levels of persistence may be used by rose hobbyists.

Some kinds of kitchen crops may accumulate and concentrate specific toxic materials found in the soil in which these are planted.

Rose fruit, called rosehip, are edible!!!! 😋😋😋😋 Plus, their great in teas, and the flower petals can be used to make rose water, which is great for pancakes. I believe that the flowers themselves are edible, too.
