Decorate your doorway
Planting a fragrant, colourful rose next to a doorway makes for an enticing entrance. Plant pots either side of the doorstep for a formal look or why not train a climber up the wall for real impact.

Roses are wonderful plants for growing in pots. Choose a contrasting colour to your door to make a beautiful, colourful feature.
GARDENER'S TIP
Roses with fewer thorns are a good choice for tighter entrance ways,
their thorns won't catch your clothes.
The façade of a house should not be forgotten as it provides a unique opportunity to change the style of your home, simply by adding flowers. A wispy rambler will convert a simple house front into the country style property of your dreams, no matter your location.
GARDENER'S TIP
Soil next to the front of a house can be poor so be sure to use plenty of soil improver.
