They're distinctively shaped and available in numerous colours, bringing dimension and depth to outdoor spaces and green areas.‌However, achieving their best appearance requires a certain skill, according to Monty Don.‌The well-known horticulturist, broadcaster and writer is a wealth of knowledge on all things gardening, with countless green-fingered enthusiasts eager to follow his recommendations to maximise their gardens' potential.Whether you're determined to help perennial plants thrive, keen to encourage local wildlife, or simply want to establish your own peaceful retreat right outside your door, the specialist has no shortage of suggestions.‌A recognisable presence on television, Monty is probably best known for his main presenting position on the popular BBC gardening programme, Gardeners' World.Like numerous experts with a following, Monty frequently shares tips and recommendations through social media, often uploading photographs captured in his garden, and offering behind-the-scenes glimpses into tasks he's undertaken to maximise his outdoor spaces.The gardening specialist also maintains a blog, where he writes extensively about plants, flowers and related topics.‌In an earlier post, he concentrated on roses and achieving their optimal appearance, describing June as "their time".He began: "So June sees roses blooming in every conceivable way and the borders filled with flowers - many of which are very early this year."It is as though summer overrides the weather. Even the rainy, grey days are beautiful. The British garden - and countryside - is at its very best and I adore every second of it."‌So what's the single daily job you need to do to keep your roses thriving?Deadheading - though in quite a particular manner.‌Deadheading involves removing wilted, faded blooms from your rose plants.Monty explained: "The secret of keeping any rose flowering as long as possible is to deadhead daily."Do not just pull off the spent petals but use secateurs and cut the spent stem right back to the next leaf or bud below it - however far down that is. This will provoke a side-shoot which in turn will carry more flowers."‌He added: "Some roses, especially the species such as rosa rugosa or rosa moysii, have glorious hips in autumn and these will only develop if the flowers are allowed to set seed and fruit, so enjoy the flowers as long as they last and do not dead head so that they can develop into fruit."Monty Don made his television debut in 1989, appearing in a regular gardening slot on This Morning, which opened doors to further opportunities across various channels.A prolific writer, he's penned more than 25 books since his debut publication in 1990. In 2003, following Alan Titchmarsh's recommendation, he became the main presenter on the popular BBC programme, Gardener's World.Article continues belowHe's also written and produced a number of his own gardening programmes, including 2026's Monty Don's Rhineland Gardens.
