Town Place in the UK is a great example of a garden where the roses are planted as a mass.<\/p><\/div>\nIf you are new to roses, or even experienced, you are likely a bit puzzled over how far apart (or how close together) you should plant rose bushes. Most likely you consulted a few rose guides and the recommended advice is to space them far apart so they don\u2019t touch each other giving them lots and lots of \u201cair circulation\u201d. The latter being \u201csold\u201d as a magic disease preventative measure.<\/p>\nThe end result of this kind of spacing is lots of bare ground to look at between the plants and in my opinion a pretty boring vista. The sight of rose bushes in regimentally spaced rows like soldiers on inspection doesn\u2019t exactly take my breath away. In fact it usually puts me to sleep.<\/p>\nFrankly, I don\u2019t know of any other plant in the garden where the recommendation is to plant them so far apart. So if Roses Are Plants, Too why can\u2019t we plant them close together like other plants?<\/p>\n $\"\"$
