Companion planting for climbing roses (ie vines etc) Note: Most people would suggest clematis, however these mostly require the roots to be kept cool, so they are not a good suggestion for warm climates. Something else would need to be reccommended here.

Companion planting and suggested perennials for shrub roses

Ooh, a FAQ! Couple suggested questions:

1) I always read stuff like "basil despises rue" or "peas hate onions & garlic." Will my plants be stunted (or just not perform optimally) if they are grown near their nemeses?

2) What are the top 10 all-purpose beneficial companion plants?

Good luck. I'm looking forward to seeing the FAQ.
