Coreopsis beside roses
Practical compatibility, planting, care and climate limits, without exaggerated promises.
Why it makes a good neighbour
Yellow daisy-like flowers give a clear contrast to pink, red and purple roses and support summer flowering.
How to plant it beside a rose
Coreopsis needs fertile, well-drained soil. It should not crowd the base of the rose and does not like being waterlogged in winter.
Give it a sunny edge
Plant it in front of or to the side of the rose.
Leave room
Allow for the mature width of the specific variety.
Water until established
After that, do not keep the soil constantly wet.
Remove spent flowers
Regular cutting supports a longer flush of bloom.
For Ukraine and Europe
A short care calendar
Spring
