For those of us who love roses, they are the indisputable queens of the garden, and we would never be without their beautiful flowers and their scent, which hangs on the air in summer. Rose haters are perplexed by our unwavering devotion and complain of the rose's susceptibility to sickness; this is fair, since many roses can be affected by fungal diseases, including the rather medieval-sounding black spot, which marks leaves with dark blotches. Thankfully, the worst outbreaks of rose sickness can be prevented with clever cultivar selection, planting, and maintenance, so that your summer profusion of roses is nothing but a joy.
Some roses have better resistance to pests and diseases than others, and the difference can be striking in a garden, with the resilient forms in lush-green leaf, coated in flowers, while others are caked in mildew or dropping their buds. Rugosa roses (such as 'Scabrosa') and Floribundas (such as 'Margaret Merril') are usually healthy and exude a good fragrance, and many modern roses (for example, English roses such as Kew Gardens) are bred to be disease resistant.

How to design a white garden | House & Garden
A garden with a restrained planting palette can be so exciting and atmospheric. Nowhere is this more true than in the case of the white garden. The limitations of choosing plants of a single colour means you can focus your attention; in fact there are so many plants out there that if you don’t have some sort of guiding principles when you set about designing your garden, you will soon be lost and overwhelmed with options.

Bellflowers (campanulas) are one of the plants we most associate with old cottage gardens. The blue, pink, or white bells were traditionally grown with roses, hollyhocks, pinks, and foxgloves in summer borders. This chocolate-box image led bellflowers to fall out of fashion, but being such great border plants, they are deservedly enjoying a resurge in popularity.

Tips on early summer gardening from a kitchen garden in the Scottish countryside | House & Garden
The transitional days from winter to spring and summer to autumn are visually the most inspiring to me. Trying to spot the very first subtle changes that signal the arrival of a new season brings a quiet feeling of rejuvenation and mentally kick-starts my motivation for fresh projects, both indoors and out. Summer, however, is the season when I slow down – or at least try to – to observe and relish the completed projects of seasons past as well as a garden in lush, fresh bloom.
