This characteristic allows it to blend beautifully into mixed borders, where its cascading branches can intermingle with other plants, creating a harmonious and natural look. To enhance the visual appeal of your garden, consider companion planting with flowers in blues and purples, which will contrast beautifully with the rich yellow blooms of Golden Celebration®.

Lavender's silvery foliage and purple-blue flowers provide a striking contrast to the golden blooms. It also shares a similar growth habit, creating a cohesive look.
Salvia (Salvia nemorosa)
Known for its spiky purple flowers, Salvia adds vertical interest and complements the rose's rounded blooms. Salvia is also a magnet for pollinators, enhancing the ecological value of your garden.
