And last, but by no means least, red roses. We planted red roses (foreground) when landscaping around a pond we installed for two of our clients. They blend beautifully with the variegated hydrangea to the right of them and the variegated hosta to the left. All the plants pictured will attract birds and butterflies. But the dramatic red rose is the eye-catcher. Needless to say: red roses symbolize love and romance like no other and also suggest perfection and beauty. As a Valentine’s Day gift or as a dramatic element in your garden, it’s a perfect choice. www.deckandpatio.com
