Allium are great deterrents to pests in our Colorado Springs garden. Our marigolds re-seed and provide the summer color.

I also use alliums as well as strong scneted herbs, rosemary, thyme, sage to deter pests. Doesn’t help much with the fungal diseases though.

Do scented herbs help for deer? Since I spray my roses, I would be unable to use the herbs but it might look nice!
I plant mainly catmint & greek oragano around the rose to deter for pest. Have the roses surrounded by an 8’ hi fence as we are semi rural & have deer pass thru the property. Grow ramblers along the fence for eye appeal & most grow up&over the fence & the deer keep them trimmed.
