I planted some peony last Oct I know it's still early but it dosen't look like it's growing at all I was wondering can I plant roses by them? I have some climbing rose and I planted the peonys by a gate...and before you ask (lol) did I plant the eyes up I tryed to they were sort of all over the place so it was hard to tell up from down but I planted with the most up.
Can I plant peonys along side of a climbing roses?
Yes, no problems
I planted Peonies near to a climbing rose(southern end of garden) rest of garden was a mixture of peonies %26amp; roses.
The garden is north facing(our sunniest aspect)
Every year beautiful peonies followed by the roses
This garden has been producing for 12 years so far
Reply:I wouldn't, the roses would choke out the Peonies. Important to remember that Peonies like one sunny place in your yard. They don't like to be transplanted and moved around a lot.
Reply:It would be ok if their respective root and above ground growing areas are sufficient for both your roses and peonies. Both of these plants are surface rooting, which means that they will face some competition from each other for water and nutrients. I'd give them a good minimum 3' between them, as Peonies will spread to cover a good wide area over time.
Secondly, whilst roses can grow upwards more than laterally, there is competition for light by these plants. Ensure that the roses don't potentially shade the sun loving peonies too much, otherwise its growth will be restricted.
With regards to your Peonies growth just now, I'm not sure where you live, but there is still good time for your plant to produce its shoots. Tree Peonies are wonderful too, though I assume that you have planted the more typical herbaceous type, that dies completely back below ground level each year.
Consider a tree Peony - their stunning flowers can easily be over 12'' across, but they need more space than the herbaceous type. Just recommend these, as my garden is greatly enhanced when they are in flower, and everyone admires their stunning flowers. https://www.dutchbulbs.com/store/peonies...
Hope this helps. Good luck! Rob
Reply:no.
Reply:y not?
Reply:peony prefers to live alone...... it's not a plant to be mixed in a bed,but rather given it's own space..... I'd move them now, as the length of time they've been in the ground suggests they'll not bloom this year..... so no matter about the move time....
eyes up is good... shallow depth is most important.... no more than an inch or at the most, two inches of soil over them... and no mulch..... deeper or covered in mulch or old leaves, they'll refuse to bloom, too.... so be sure to clean off their bed before winter and not let leaves and such collect there....
