The English Way
Combining these two climbing flowers has long been a cherished tradition in English gardens, dating back to the Victorian era. The tradition likely originated from the desire to maximize vertical space, but gardeners achieved a beautiful tapestry of blooms by intertwining their growth.
The roses provide sturdy support for the clematis vines, while the clematis' delicate foliage helps shade the rose roots, keeping them cool and moist during hot summers. The different bloom times also ensure a continuous display of flowers throughout the growing seasons.
