Rose color combinations

These are some rose/companion plant photos. I'm always interested to see how various plants work out with each other. Given my "kitchen sink" approach to combining plants, serendipity always plays a role in the outcome. I hope you enjoy - although I'm less than enthused, again, with the photo quality once they've been reduced.

Ingred Bergman, Sweet Chariot, Coreopsis, Mountain Mignonette.

Lavender Jewel and Cerastium. I like the way this miniature rose peeks through the grey cerastium.

Cardinal Hume, Distant Drums, Iceberg, and Walker's Low.

Lavender, Peach Drift, and Petunias.

Thanks for viewing!

Ptboise--That last pic with the petunias is good enough to be in better homes and gardens. Great shots.--Ron

Ron and Kate - thank you. You are very kind. This is an example of the blessings of digital cameras: snap enough photos and a couple may turn out OK.

I like the colors in the first picture the best. :)
I like how the depth is emphasized by the colors.

You have a good eye for color and combinations.

Lovely combinations, pt, and the plants don't look like they've been through a hot, dry Idaho summer at all. What is your secret? I love the Cardinal Hume, Distant drums, Iceberg combo. Thanks for posting these photos. Diane
