popular, it co-exists with the earlier approach to planting rose gardens, in which all of the plants are precisely spaced so that all of the roses in a bed are an equal distance from each other. The latter approach is standard in public rose gardens, both to separate the various specimens and to improve air circulation, which helps to avoid disease. Roses gardens tend to be practical gardens, most roses require regular deadheading, fertilizing and spraying. If the gardener prefers to be organic, leaves which have been infected with a fungus need to be removed by hand and insects repelled or suffocated by organic pesticides. These practical needs mean that most rose gardens have narrow beds which allow easy access for the gardeners. I will be writing about how to design a rose garden in my next article.
