I am planning to plant a couple of low growing rose bushes in front of my house in order to have more color during the summer. I bought two hot cocoa rose bushes and two white out bushes. Are these good combination? Should I get another color? I want to keep the hot cocoa. I love the color. Thanks

White is always a stand out in the landscape and is a good transition plant
. Keep your roses in pots for a few days and place them where you think they will be planted. Look at them from the street and other angles in your yard. That is the best way to make sure you have the color and impact you are going for. You may decide to add a soft pink to spice up your cocoa.

I'm real particular on matching my plants to my house color. What the color of your house?

The exterior of the house is brick with black shutters.
