This is my Crimson Bouquet rose. To the right, you will notice a larger vertical stem, with a small yellow (flower) tomato bud.
Explanation:
My tomato plant had an accident, so I had to amputate the damaged limb! It was an emergency issue... now I needed to do something with the dismembered limb.
So, I looked far and wide for a suitable solution... I looked high, and I looked low... wondering how can I save this tomato plant limb. So, I spotted an opening in one of my larger pots... "ah ha"... just maybe an answer. So, very delicately, I proceed to implant the tomato plant limb, into the open space, deep into the soil in the pot, right along and beside the rose plant.
NOW, the waiting begins! Only time would tell, at this point, if this shared pot of soil would support the rose AND the tomato plant, in unisense... final product of each would still be "red" in color, and the stems are of the same green color...
Waiting, patiently... after several nerve tolerated days and nights... to see if there would be any miraculous improvement. FINALLY... signs of acceptance of the severed limb, by the Crimson Rose.... Whew, close call!

It already has... this evening I found a baby tomato, (size of the fingernail on a pinky finger)... so it should be a go... even had to "stake" the limb, to keep it from falling over on the rose...

sounds like you have some decent soil.
should either begin to look less than vibrant add some 10-10-10 fertilizer to get the juices flowing.
if you don't care for fertilizer add some finished compost or cow manure

Dear John
I am happy to see you had success, but I am not surprised.. I had a tomato bush ( It rambled everywhere) growing amongst the roses, dahlias and it did just fine.. it even used the rose bush to rest itself, and fruit.

I am convinced that plant roots don't mind sharing the wealth of the soil..
and btw, if you want to talk plants... I am up for it... I have a huge gardening interest..

You were fortunate that the tomato plant had some nodules and you planted it deep enough for them to root. 
I love gardening too, and am ever so happy to share with my neighbors.

Hey... looks like you have a pretty good garden going there according to the pic's.
This is my first year at planting anything, but still learning...
Would welcome additional tips and conversations of our gardens/plants.
Have a great day...

Hi and good morning Carol.
I wasn't sure it would work, but common sense whispered in my ear: "do it, do it!" Then I figured, what the heck... couldn't hun anything, beings that the limb was already severed anyway.
You have a great day, and holler anytime.

That's amazing how those two plants are striving together.I used to plant a garden every year and plant many veggies and flowers together in the very same soil.

Afternoon, CC....
I'm enjoying it, more each day. But, actually didn't think of putting 2 completely different plants. But, I guess... bottom line... a plant is a plant, is a plant, is a plant!
I may have to pick your brain, later... for some tips...
Have a great day... ~JOHN~
