A Cheap and Easy Way to Create a Small Rose Garden
Creating your own rose garden isn’t as hard as you think.
And it’s not expensive either. It’s all a matter of choosing
climbing roses and building a trellis for them yourself. You
can create your own rose garden in a small backyard. Or
combine a few rose trellises together for a fragrant, garden
getaway. So here’s how I did it.
Creating the Rose Garden Trellis
I had a very small budget for building my rose garden
trellis. In fact, I could only afford two, thin metal
trellises. Since I wanted to have a full rose garden, I had
to come up with a way of stringing roses between my
trellises, so as to create the impression of an enchantingly
organized and yet whimsical rose garden.
Fishing wire
came to my rescue.
I positioned the trellises at a 45 degree angle to each
other, and at a distance of six feet. I then strung
invisible fishing wire between the trellises, as if I were
creating clotheslines. I planted two cheap climb rose bushes
beneath the strings of fishing wire, then threaded the roses
through them, like upside down clothes hung out to dry.
As the roses grew, I kept stringing them, and very soon my
rose garden trellis was full to the top with a fragrant wall
of green leaves and beautiful roses.

I placed two chairs before my rose garden, to create a
serene reading nook. But you can string a hammock before
them, or position a rocking chair or love seat. You can even
create a series of rose trellises to encircle your seating
area. In this way, your rose garden will clothes in on you
on all four sides, truly enveloping you in fragrance and
beauty.
It’s a simple way to create a rose garden for very little
money. And climbing roses are easy to care for. Just a
little pruning and watering in the summer. Just be sure to
choose rose buses with flowers that smell heavenly.
