New Striped Roses
Striped roses are like plants with variegated foliage, they’re not for everyone but those who like them, like them a lot! And even many of those who say they don’t like them come around eventually.
Striped roses make an intriguing and bold statement in the garden with their bicolour or multicoloured flowers. Every flower is different and, indeed, every petal is different. A single plant becomes an amazing study in every degree of striping from lightly striped and flecked to boldly bicoloured.
Just like variegated foliage, striped roses are best planted as a focal point where anyone visiting your garden can understand that your choice of such a crazy flower is by design and deliberate. Plant them front and centre in the middle of a border, in a large pot, symmetrically on either side of a gate, or in any location that will show them off. Be proud of your choice of a striped rose. If you don’t look confident by planting it front and centre, your gardening friends might question your sense of taste. Anything this bold should be given pride of place and look like it’s been done on purpose!
Now all you have to do is decide which variety you need for your garden!
