Keeping your garden maintained throughout the year is a job which requires planning ahead. If you are thinking about changing your planting scheme or have a new garden with few mature plants and shrubs, winter is the best time to do this. During the winter you will also need to bring more tender plants into the greenhouse or conservatory to keep them away from frosts. Winter is a good time to plan new structures such as decking or a garden feature. Instant colour can be added to your home or garden by ordering flowers by post, particularly if it is too late to plant springtime bulbs.
At the start of the spring you can prune back shrubs such as roses to maintain their shape and ensure they flower in abundance. Climbing roses will need their supports checked or replaced if necessary along with other climbing plants. Spring bulbs such as daffodils look beautiful naturalised in a lawn or showing a blaze of colour in a border. Bring the springtime feeling indoors with an arrangement of spring flowers in a vase or grown in a container.
There are some species of roses which flower in the spring, although they will need a sheltered position and protection from frost. Alternatively you can keep them in a conservatory or garden room for year round interest. Spring is a time of growth for many plants, some may need a layer of mulch or compost around their base to protect them from later frosts and for essential nutrients.
A stunning display of roses can be created by planting several together. With so many varieties of flower size, colour and scent it is easy to find your perfect selection. Thornless roses are perfect for a family garden whilst climbing roses look beautiful rambling over a wall or archway. Many roses flower at different times of the year so you can have roses in the garden from spring through to autumn.
During the hot months of summer it is essential to keep your plants well watered to maintain their health and ensure they flower. Water retaining products such as crystals or gel are perfect for containers which are most likely to dry out. Larger containers hold more soil so therefore take longer to dry out. Dead head your roses regularly as well as other flowering plants, this prolongs the flowering season. Plants and flowers will also benefit from regular feeding.
In the autumn make room for spring bulbs and winter flowering plants such as cyclamen or pansies by digging up annuals which have finished flowering. Perennials should be cut back to allow new growth in the spring, although leaving some plants will add to your garden's interest during with winter, with seed heads sparkling with winter frost.
Roses need to be pruned carefully and supports checked so that they can withstand winter weather. Keep the roots of overwintering shrubs away from frost by adding an extra layer of mulch or compost.
Keeping plants in the home is a great way of adding colour and year round interest. Buying flowers by post is a simple way to do this as there are so many varieties available from exotic plants to seasonal container grown plants which can be planted in the garden when winter has passed. These can also make the perfect gift to brighten up someone else's home.
