Can these flowers grow together?

I would like to start a red flower garden consisting of roses, carnations, poppies and impatiens. Will these seeds germinate and grow together?

Can these flowers grow together?
Sounds vibrant!

Roses, carnations and poppies enjoy similiar conditions (sunny, well-drained soil), but the impatiens does not. Impatiens do best in light shade or morning sun with more moisture.



If you want to germinate and propagate the seeds yourself..you could do so with the poppies, carnations and impatiens. The rose is best taken as a cutting in the summer or simply buy a nice red rose...from seed they take too long (and finding exclusively red rose seed is difficult)...and most really lovely red roses are hybrids, grafted onto a hardy root stock.
Reply:yes sounds great,but bear in mind,poppies will only grow in rubbish soil,not a fertile one
Reply:Roses, poppies, and carnations like the sun. Impatients need full shade to live so you'll probably have a problem with those. Just a little sun and those babies will fry!!! If you want an annual to put in their try something like sylvia. Those come in different colors and like the sun.
