Standard roses, sometimes known as tree roses due to their shape, can be used to dramatic effect within a garden. Often used to define pathways or as an elegant feature to frame doorways, standard roses can be grown both in pots or planted directly into the ground. They can even be planted within a flower bed, underlined with companion plants like lavender or salvia to create an interesting and breath-taking display.
