•Roses: Prune climbing roses after flowering, cutting stems to 4 or 5 feet. Tie canes as they grow, wrapping them around supports.

•Annuals: Plant colorful annuals, such as sun-loving coleus, Mexican bush sage, lantana, Persian shield, and cat's whiskers.

•Tubers: Plant caladium and calla lily tubers. Mix organic matter and a slow-release fertilizer into beds for optimal growth.
