Plus, why ground cover roses are a very popular choice, and why some others might work for you.
Would you recommend ground cover roses for a planter by the front door that gets half sun and half shade? If so, what kind? Currently, we have some Jupiter’s beard and Santa Barbara daises there, but they look messy.
On the other hand, removing weeds that have popped up in the middle of them is hazardous unless you’re wearing heavy leather gloves and gauntlets. Once they’ve established, they tend to send out long branches that will encroach into pathways. Of course, these branches are thorny, so they will need to be pruned frequently to keep them in check.
If your planter gets 6 hours of sunlight per day, you can choose plants that require full sun. The size of your space should determine what you plant. Since it’s near a walkway, I would opt for scented geraniums, lavender, or some other pleasantly scented plant. Dwarf bottlebrush is easy to keep tidy, but it can attract bees. Verbena has a long bloom period and is relatively easy to trim.
A: African violets are my favorite flowering houseplant, and I especially like to buy them off the “sad plant” discount rack so I can nurse them back to health.
