This Front-Yard Rose Garden Plan Will Add Elegance to Your Home

Make your home's entrance more memorable with this gorgeous front-yard rose garden plan. An arbor placed around the front door offers an ideal perch for a pair of red 'Blaze' climbing roses. Then, a colorful collection of 11 more floribunda, hybrid tea, and grandiflora rose cultivars fill in beds on either side of the walkway, bordered by a low boxwood hedge (choose a compact boxwood variety such as 'Little Missy' that won't require much pruning). All the roses are hardy in Zones 5-9, and do best in at least six hours of direct sunlight a day. And if you do a little regular deadheading, these plants will bloom from spring until frost for you.
