5. Rose Cultivation English Roses and repeat-flowering Old Roses, are best planted in groups of three of one variety. They will then grow together to form 'one' dense shrub, which will provide a more continuous display and make a more definite statement in the border. We suggest planting approximately 18" apart within the group. Adjacent plants of neighboring varieties should be planted approximately 2'6" to 3' apart.
