I think that on the photo it looks like they are really planted next to them but this is not the case . The plants do bush up nicely around the rose and I find that they complement them nicely. Thanks for your feedback! Actually the Sweet Williams are not planted next to the base of the rose but just in front of the bushes in the border.

Have you had any of these sorts or issues and how close to you plant the Sweet William to the base of the rose?
