Climbing rose in a small garden
Climbing roses are perfect for adding a burst of colour in a small garden. Make the most of your vertical garden space by training climbers up the boundary walls. Use an old door frame or whatever else you can find to train your rose on. Climbing roses flower more when trained horizontally so encourage your leaders across the frame.
Winter in Melbourne
Today is the winter solstice, no doubt we are all looking forward to warm sunny days and balmy evenings, but one of the best times in Melbourne is now with beautiful crisp mornings and bright sunny days. Get out and marvel at the trees, kick the autumn leaves if they’re still about. Visit a nursery for bare rooted trees and roses. Don’t be put off because the plants all exposed, it just means the plants are dormant so the nursery can sell them cheaper without pots to take up more space. Check out all the fruit varieties available. There are lots of multi graft options which means you can get multiple fruit on one tree, perfect for small spaces.
