<p>Natural gardening makes it possible to produce crops that taste good and are good for your health. Preserving biodiversity, protecting, and nourishing the soil and plants without using chemicals are the basics of natural gardening. </p>
<p><strong>Everything you need to know about natural gardening</strong> </p>
<p>The gardener is part of a whole, he must learn to work with nature rather than trying to control it. By preserving or promoting biodiversity, the garden will regain a beautiful balance that will be conducive to abundant harvests, healthy, tasty and rich in nutrients, but also to obtaining a garden so full of flowers that it will be admired by all! </p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" width="724" height="483" aria-hidden="true" src="https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-36.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-1393" srcset="https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-36.jpeg 724w, https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-36-300x200.jpeg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 724px) 100vw, 724px" /></figure>
<p><strong>Restore balance in your garden</strong> </p>
<p>In nature, plants grow without human intervention. The soil, rich in life and always supplied with organic matter, is able to receive plants that settle there spontaneously. This last notion is important because plants settle where the conditions are most suitable for them to grow. Some will be satisfied with a poor and dry soil while others will need a fresh and humid soil. They can grow, flower and even produce fruit naturally. </p>
<p>The gardener often makes considerable efforts for a lesser return. In trying to do too much, he sometimes makes mistakes that cause fundamental imbalances resulting in a loss of biodiversity, a disrupted balance between prey and predators and the disappearance of pollinating insects. Bad gardening practices such as turning over the soil, destroying ecosystems or tracking down the smallest insect with phytosanitary products often have catastrophic results on cultivated plants, which have a much harder time growing than those left to their own devices in nature. </p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" width="726" height="481" aria-hidden="true" src="https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-38.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-1397" srcset="https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-38.jpeg 726w, https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-38-300x199.jpeg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 726px) 100vw, 726px" /></figure>
<p><strong>Make the best out of what already exists in your garden</strong> </p>
<p>Taking into account what exists in a garden is a fundamental notion for natural gardening. In each garden, there are positive and negative points that one must take advantage of or live with. Some parameters deserve to be particularly observed. </p>
<p>-The climate, the nature of the soil, the exposure are of course all important in the choice of plants that can be grown or not in this specific garden. For example, planting tropical plants or citrus fruits in an area where frost is common is a waste of time, energy and money. It is better to choose plants that are adapted to the soil because they do not need to be acclimated. Observe the plants that grow spontaneously, you will be able to deduce the nature of your soil and therefore choose plants that will grow better in your garden! </p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" width="1024" height="683" aria-hidden="true" src="https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/BR3758-At-The-Heart-Of-Growth-Photography-0684-min-1-1024x683.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-1399" srcset="https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/BR3758-At-The-Heart-Of-Growth-Photography-0684-min-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/BR3758-At-The-Heart-Of-Growth-Photography-0684-min-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/BR3758-At-The-Heart-Of-Growth-Photography-0684-min-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/BR3758-At-The-Heart-Of-Growth-Photography-0684-min-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/BR3758-At-The-Heart-Of-Growth-Photography-0684-min-1-2048x1365.jpg 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
<p>-Assessing the biodiversity is also very important. A large presence of birds, mammals or reptiles is a sign of a good balance. These predators will be able to deal with many pests naturally. Similarly, if pollinating insects are present in large numbers, they will ensure a good production of fruits and vegetables. On the other hand, if diseases and pests are present in large numbers, this is evidence of an imbalance that will need to be corrected by promoting biodiversity, among other things. Evidence of an imbalance can also result from abiotic stress (change of environment) or from invasive pests. </p>
<p><strong>Make gardening easier</strong> </p>
<p>Observing, favoring biodiversity, taking the soil into great consideration and creating zones that welcome natural flora and fauna will ensure the return of a good balance in the garden. From this will come an ease of cultivation and maintenance for the gardener, who will have less to worry about maintenance and treatments. Everything becomes easy, with the result of abundant and succulent harvests and a garden in full bloom! </p>

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Why should you fertilise your soil?</h1>
<p>A well-nourished soil is more alive. Its nutrient storage capacity is improved with amendments and fertilisers (also called plant food). Plants have access to all the nutrients they need and develop perfectly. </p>
<p>Plants draw nutrients from the soil in varying quantities depending on the species. Some plants, such as melons or tomatoes, are very greedy and exhaust the soil, while others have very specific nutrient needs. It is therefore interesting to apply natural fertilisers at the right time and by targeting the type of crop to give back to the earth what we took from it by harvesting fruits, vegetables and other flowers. </p>
<p>Over time, overexploited soil loses its ability to store nutrients. It becomes poor and plants do not thrive. They need more and more inputs (fertilisers, among others). Preservation of the soil’s ecosystem using soil assistance is essential. </p>

<p><strong>Essential nutrients for a healthy plant</strong> </p>
<p>Three elements are essential for the good health of plants </p>
<ul>
<li>Nitrogen (N) which allows growth and is an essential element for leafy vegetables and plants grown for their foliage; </li>
<li>Phosphorus (P), which ensures root formation and better resistance to diseases; </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Potassium (K), which is involved in the photosynthesis process, allows for more abundant flowering, production, and better resistance to cold. </li>
</ul>
<p>Other elements, sometimes a little forgotten, are also very important because their deficiency can cause pathologies. </p>
<ul>
<li>Calcium, which is involved in the cell formation process. </li>
<li>Copper, iron and magnesium which help in the formation of chlorophyll. An iron deficiency can cause a well-known disease: chlorosis, which causes leaf discoloration. </li>
<li>Boron which helps the growth of stems and the formation of seeds; </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Zinc which allows the growth of plants and the synthesis of chlorophyll </li>
</ul>
<p>These nutrients will get from the soil to the plant thanks to the roots. Therefore, you can add natural phosphate or other root stimulating products to optimise the journey of nutrients from soil to plant. Fertiliser/plant food that is applied as a liquid is faster acting, ,but a a granule will slowly release and work for longer.</p>
<p>Overall, fertilising your soil allows your plants to be healthier, more resistant, grow better, and produce more! </p>

<p id="viewer-foo">Watering is a key, necessary aspect to ensure a flourishing garden: plants are comprised of approximately 80% water, and its only means of drawing up nutrients from the soil, which it does by absorbing nutrients in a water-based solution through its roots. A few rules need to be followed to ensure proper watering. Just like too little water, too much can have a negative effect on plant growth.</p>
<p>With this guide, we give you practical tips to help you make your garden a blooming oasis and use the precious resource of water efficiently. </p>
<p>Proper watering plays a crucial role in the development of plants. Whether it’s houseplants, ornamental garden or vegetables gardens – it’s worth taking a closer look at the topic of watering so that you can develop the right watering approach for your garden. </p>

<p>Everyone knows that our plants need water to survive. But why is that and how do the plants absorb the water? In this article, we’ll explain how the nutrients that are essential for survival get from the water into the plant and why photosynthesis simply doesn’t work without water. But one step at a time… </p>

<p><strong>WATER UPTAKE HAPPENS THROUGH THE ROOTS</strong> </p>
<p>Our plants absorb most of the water that is so important for them from the soil. To do this, a plant uses its roots. Depending on the type of plant, the development of the root system and the plant’s own ability to absorb water from the environment also varies: </p>
<p>• If a plant has a deep and extensive root system, it has more potential to access the precious moisture from its surroundings. Many trees and shrubs have such an extensive root system and are therefore virtually independent of our irrigation. Only in the growing phase after being planted do these plants need our support in absorbing water. After a year, most trees and shrubs have grown so well that, under normal circumstances, no additional watering is necessary. </p>
<p>• On the other hand, if the roots are merely fine and short, water can only be drawn from the nearby environment for absorption. This is true for quite a few annual plants and/or perennials and certainly pot plants. If drought persists, additional watering is necessary. Plants that respond quickly to a lack of water by drooping their leaves, such as hydrangeas, petunias or sunflowers, can act as indicator plants to give you a better sense of when to water. Over time, this will help you develop a natural sense of the plants’ needs. </p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="724" height="483" aria-hidden="true" src="https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-31.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-1358" srcset="https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-31.jpeg 724w, https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-31-300x200.jpeg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 724px) 100vw, 724px" /></figure>
<p>The so-called capillary effect plays an essential role in water absorption. Through the fine root system, the nutrients dissolved in the water are absorbed into the plant’s core. In this way, all the essential nutrients enter the plant for further use. Important plant nutrients are nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), sulfur (S). Iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), boron (B), molybdenum (Mo) and chlorine (Cl). </p>
<p><strong>FACTORS INFLUENCING IRRIGATION</strong> </p>
<p>We now know why plants need water and the ways in which it is provided. With this knowledge, we can now ensure to water our plants ourselves. However, the amount of water we should apply depends on various factors. </p>
<p>• Clearly, the plant itself determines how much water it needs. There are plants that are very frugal and require very little water – and there are also plants that require daily watering under certain conditions. For example, vegetables such as garlic, onions, shallots, asparagus and artichokes require little water, while squash, lettuce, tomatoes and cabbages require a lot of water. Consider this important plant characteristic in your planning and adapt it to the given location. </p>
<p>• The location of your plants will affect additional watering as well. Do your plants face north or south, are they exposed to wind and rain or are they sheltered? These are all important parameters that play a role in defining customized irrigation. In sunny and windy locations, plants evaporate much more water and thus need to be supplied with significantly more water. </p>
<p>• Different soil types differ in their ability to store water. Sandy soils, for example, can store significantly less water available to plants and have limited water-holding capacity. Clay soil, on the other hand, is very good at storing water in a way that is available to plants. A clay soil with a silty, clumpy texture that resembles coffee grounds is ideal. To maintain and improve the soil, you can regularly add some compost and turn it at the surface with a digging pitchfork from time to time. By interrupting the capillary action of the soil surface through tillage, the soil evaporates less water. A positive side effect is that weeds are thus prevented from growing and are undermined. Mulching is much easier and requires less effort. The soil is covered by a layer of mulch, which can consist of various materials, such as bark mulch, leaves or clippings, and at the same time is supplied with organic matter. This reduces evaporation from the soil and you can get by with much less watering all year! </p>
<p>• The more rain, the less we need to apply additional water. Therefore, a rain gauge makes sense in any garden to determine exactly how much water has entered the garden naturally. 1 mm of rain equals 1 liter of water per m². You will be surprised when you read the numbers on your meter: Heavy rainfall that lasts a few minutes often brings less water than a fine drizzle that lasts several hours. Rainwater is also better than tap water. It’s not as cold, it doesn’t contain chlorine, and it’s definitely less expensive – the ideal solution is to set up a rainwater collection tank. This reduces water consumption and is also easy on the wallet. </p>
<p>• Plants have different needs at different times of the year. Think in advance about the needs of plants at different times of the year and what watering measures should be taken. In autumn and winter, the weather conditions mean that less watering is needed than in spring and summer, when the amount of watering should be adapted to the climate. </p>
<p><strong>WATERING MISTAKES</strong> </p>
<p>The motto “a lot helps a lot” has become almost normal- but in addition to the right amount of water, there are other mistakes that are often made when watering plants. </p>
<p>• A common mistake gardeners make is watering at too high a frequency. In this case, plants do not develop their own root system to search deeper for water and become dependent on the surface water provided. The rule is: few intensive waterings that reach deeper soil layers are more useful than many small waterings that only irrigate the top soil layer. </p>
<p>• An incorrectly measured amount can, in the worst case, cause damage to our plants. If the plants are always offered too much water, the risk of waterlogging increases and the roots can rot. In addition, nutrients are unnecessarily flushed out. In addition to poor growth, this can even lead to the death of the plant. Check from time to time with a spade how deep the soil is moistened, in the vegetable garden or in the lawn this is easily possible. In addition, use a rain gauge – so you can easily determine whether you still need to water in addition to natural precipitation or not. Furthermore, there are moisture meters to measure the moisture in the soil and determine if and how much you should still water. </p>
<p>• When watering, especially in the summer months, make sure you do it at the right time. Watering in the early morning or evening is much more tolerable for your plants and for your wallet than in the blazing midday sun. That’s because water evaporates in bright sunlight before it can seep into the soil and be absorbed by the plants. </p>
<p>• Favour application with the good old watering can, drip systems at the base of the plant, or recessed irrigation systems for larger areas. Sprinkling or spraying plants uses more water and encourages disease, especially in tomatoes, potatoes and beans. </p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>Widely spread in our gardens, always green and very hardy, the buxus (also known as boxtree or boxwood) has a lifespan of about 600 years. Despite its slow growth, it can reach 5 m in height. </p>
<p>Fact: Buxus often associated with French gardens because it is easily sculpted. It is perfectly suited to the creation of a high hedge. </p>
<p><strong>PLANT</strong> </p>
<p>Plant your buxus in autumn, the roots will be set up in the best way. If you missed the period, it is still possible to plant them in spring. </p>
<p>To plant it in the ground, prepare a hole wider than the root ball and not very deep. In a pot, you can add clay balls to drain it well. Pack and water. </p>
<p>To create a border, use a rope to make a straight trench. </p>
<p>For planting in a pot, heather soil will also do. Make sure that the pot has proper drainage. </p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="800" height="600" aria-hidden="true" src="https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image.png" alt="" class="wp-image-1281" srcset="https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image.png 800w, https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-300x225.png 300w, https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-768x576.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></figure>
<p><strong>CARE</strong> </p>
<p>Pruning buxus quite simple and instinctive. Prune it with a clean shear from the bottom up. Pruning is done twice a year, except during periods of frost. </p>
<p>Watering is generally not necessary for buxus, except in case of drought and yellowing of the leaves. </p>
<p>Fertilizer is only useful if your soil is too poor for this crop. </p>
<p>Increased webs and nibbling on your leaves probably indicate the presence of the buxus moth, a pest that can be controlled by treating your plant with a relevant product. </p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="800" height="500" aria-hidden="true" src="https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-2.png" alt="" class="wp-image-1285" srcset="https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-2.png 800w, https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-2-300x188.png 300w, https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-2-768x480.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></figure>
<p><strong>ENJOY</strong> </p>
<p>In the garden, buxus is a solid ally and a guarantee of safety. It is also a real nest of biodiversity. </p>
<p>Topiary art consists of pruning trees and shrubs in the garden for decorative purposes. </p>
<p>Buxus is easily adaptable and lends itself perfectly to the most extravagant pruning. </p>
<p>If you are tempted by this practice, choose a small-leaf variety (Buxus microphylla). </p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>Hydrangeas come in a variety of colours from white to blue to pink. Its flowers form clusters in balls and are greatly appreciated by many. </p>
<p>Some varieties have the particularity of being able to change colour according to the composition of the soil and thus allow during the season to renew the aspect of its garden. </p>
<p>Fact: The name hydrangea comes from the Ancient Greek and means ‘water vessel’. It is a fitting name as hydrangeas need a lot of water. If you ever get a hydrangea bouquet, make sure to put it in water quickly! </p>
<p><strong>PLANT</strong> </p>
<p>Plant your hydrangeas in autumn. </p>
<p>In the ground: dig a hole 3 times the size of the root ball. Pack and water. </p>
<p>In a pot: choose a large enough pot. Drain the bottom. </p>
<p>Hydrangeas love the sun but appreciate a little shade. Ideally, orient them in the northwest direction. </p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="800" height="500" aria-hidden="true" src="https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-9.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-1259" srcset="https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-9.jpeg 800w, https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-9-300x188.jpeg 300w, https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-9-768x480.jpeg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></figure>
<p><strong>CARE</strong> </p>
<p>In the fall, remove dead stems and wilted flowers. </p>
<p>In early spring, prune unwanted branches about 2 cm above the first pair of buds. Clear out some branches from the centre of the shrub so that the sun can shine through. </p>
<p>Water thoroughly during the growing season. </p>
<p>In summer, water preferably in the evening. Mulching will prevent evaporation and retain moisture. </p>
<p>In case of oidium or mealybug attacks, you can use solutions designed for that matter. </p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="683" aria-hidden="true" src="https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-11-1024x683.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-1263" srcset="https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-11-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-11-300x200.jpeg 300w, https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-11-768x512.jpeg 768w, https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-11-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-11.jpeg 1600w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
<p><strong>ENJOY</strong> </p>
<p>The hydrangea generally blooms between June and October. </p>
<p>The colour of the flowers will depend on the care you have given it and the type of soil in which the hydrangea has grown. </p>
<p>The more calcareous the soil, the pinker the flowers will be. </p>
<p>The more acidic the soil, the bluer the flowers. If you want your hydrangeas to lean more towards blue, there are fertilizers made specifically for that purpose that acidifies your soil to make them turn from pink to blue. </p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="800" height="500" aria-hidden="true" src="https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-10.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-1261" srcset="https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-10.jpeg 800w, https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-10-300x188.jpeg 300w, https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-10-768x480.jpeg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></figure>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>Iris are very well known and present flowers in many gardens, and very pleasant! It is a perennial flower of the Iridaceae family, which are usually sold as bulbs, and which produce large, colourful and fragrant flowers, often in blue and purple tones, but also yellow, orange, pink/red etc… </p>
<p>The final height of the plant can vary between 20 and 90cm! It is planted from September to June for a flowering from January to August, but an autumn plantation is recommended! </p>
<p>Fact: By mixing varieties of dwarf iris, intermediate iris and large iris, which have staggered flowering, it is possible to have non-stop flowers for 2 months! </p>
<p><strong>PLANT</strong> </p>
<p>Irises grow easily in ordinary soil, even dry and chalky, with a strong exposure to the sun (at least 3/4 of the day). Beware of soils that are too heavy and too clayey and that retain too much water in winter, as the bulbs could rot. </p>
<p>Before planting, prepare the soil well by turning over the soil deeply in order to eliminate all traces of weeds and to allow an easy development of the roots. Take advantage of this to incorporate gravel or coarse sand if the soil is heavy. </p>
<p>Once this is done, plant the rhizomes (or bulbs) in such a way that they remain visible, because a too deep plantation could compromise the blooming (which by the way generally intervenes the year following the plantation). Leave at least 10 to 20cm between each bulb, so that the plant has room to grow. </p>
<p>Then all you need to do is water slightly after plantation to support the rooting. </p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="683" aria-hidden="true" src="https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-6-1024x683.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-1251" srcset="https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-6-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-6-300x200.jpeg 300w, https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-6-768x512.jpeg 768w, https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-6-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-6.jpeg 1600w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
<p><strong>CARE</strong> </p>
<p>Once planted, irises in the ground do not really require much care, and should only be watered in case of very hot weather and/or prolonged drought. As for the rest of the maintenance, it is rather traditional: </p>
<p>Keep the soil clean and weed-free, and regularly remove damaged and dry leaves. </p>
<p>If you live in a particularly windy area, your plants may need a stake to strengthen the stems. </p>
<p>Remove the flower stems once the flowers have faded to avoid the formation of seeds that unnecessarily deplete the plant. </p>
<p>The potted iris, on the other hand, requires more regular watering, usually when the substrate is deeply dry. You can therefore feed it with a liquid flower fertilizer and add clay balls to your pot/garden box to ensure good drainage! </p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="683" aria-hidden="true" src="https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-8-1024x683.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-1255" srcset="https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-8-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-8-300x200.jpeg 300w, https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-8-768x512.jpeg 768w, https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-8-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https://www.seezon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/image-8.jpeg 1600w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
<p><strong>ENJOY</strong> </p>

<p>Roses are one of the most cultivated flowers in the world. Very appreciated for its scent and its characteristic shape, it can be found in many gardens. Thousands of different varieties exist. </p>
<p>Since ancient times, poets and painters have associated it with different symbols and depicted its wide range of colours. </p>
<p>Fact: Petals of all roses are edible. Depending on their variety, they can add flavour and colour to your dishes. </p>
<p><strong>PLANT</strong> </p>
<p>For a good development, your rosebush needs at least half a day of sun exposure. The ideal exposure is therefore South-East or South-West. Choose a fertilised soil for the planting of the rosebush. </p>
<p>Before planting, refresh the root tips. Once your shrub is in the ground, water abundantly for 3 weeks. </p>
<p>Plant your rose between mid-October and mid-May. <em>*Period varies according to the variety and the geographical zone of plantation.</em> </p>

<p><strong>CARE</strong> </p>
<p>The maintenance of roses is simple but necessary to help them bloom. </p>
<p>In general, pruning is done in the spring, once the frosts are over. To do so, cut the branches at about 1cm above the third bud. </p>
<p>During flowering, water once or twice a week. Avoid wetting the foliage to limit risks of diseases. </p>
<p>Finally, a granular rose fertilizer such as Toprose twice a year will provide the plant with the nutrients it needs. </p>
<p>Rose rust, powdery mildew are the most common diseases, although they depend on the variety. Cut off and burn the leaves affected by these orange spots. </p>

<p><strong>PICK</strong> </p>
<p>It is not forbidden to take some of the flowers from your shrub to make a bouquet or to prepare original recipes, quite the contrary. However, be sure to do it partially and gradually. </p>
<p>At the end of autumn, it is possible to harvest mature rosehips. These are the small berries produced by the rosebushes when they are wilted. You can then open them to harvest the seeds. </p>
