Will having a climbing rose next to my vegetable garden hurt the food?

I think it would be a very good thing to do they add beuty anywhere you plant them i think.


And i read some where that thyey grow roses at the ends of grape arbors so they could tell if powdery mildew was around and they could stop it on the grapes hope this helps.

No, they will be fine. Only concern is pesticide use....none on the roses or veggies, please.

You are right on it as well as looking good, attracting bees etc they are a great indicator plant to show start of pest infestation


The Vineyards here in NZ also use them for this purpose





The Rose is a pretty usefull plant
Reply:Check what you are growing with compatibility to roses. There are plants that will provide protection for the roses and be protected by the roses, but there are those that can be drained by the roses and be infected or infested by the problems roses attract.





Roses can tend to compete for nutrients, and win.





Blessed gardening!!
Reply:I have climbers all around my garden.They have been there for twenty years.It won't hurt a thing.Flowers also attract more bee's and that is a good thing for any garden.
Reply:Your rose could be a good identifier of pest insects and diseases that may attack your garden. Ever notice how vineyards have rose bushes at the end of rows? This isn't to look pretty but to ID pests or diseases before they decimate the grape vines. Roses are highly susceptible to some of the pests and diseases that attack other plants and can be an early warning indicator of problems in your garden. (And the bees love 'em too)
Reply:No. However, shading from the rose and/or competition for water may cut the yield of your garden somewhat. But the rose will not "poison" or "injure" your garden crops.
