Purple Partnering Plants
Purple plants are a particularly good choice for blending with roses within a mixed border. Ranging from soft hues to rich tones, there is a shade of purple to complement any colour rose. Opt for small, delicate purple flowers such as Verbena or Geraniums or create texture with tall, pointed, purple flowers such as Agastache.
Complement your roses with a smattering of purple...
...choose any shade from lilac to plum.
