Roses

Ah, the queen of all gardens, the rose. This is also a fragrant flower with a rather characteristic scent. The Rosaceae family covers about a hundred rose species, but they are all fragrant and will delight your senses. In addition, roses bloom all year round.

If you are planting rose bushes, always remember to leave enough space between the plants. This way you ensure that their leaves can receive sunlight and enough oxygen around them. Also, keep them well trimmed, and most importantly, make sure that they do not lack an irrigation source.

Lavender

Lavender brings another familiar fresh and clean scent to your garden. In addition, its blue-purple flowers add a vibrant, colorful mosaic to your little garden. The plant blooms from April to July, the time when it also releases its characteristic aromatic oil, which you can use to make your own creams, soaps and cosmetics.

To get the most out of the scent of this plant, plant it in a sunny spot. Choose a place that will also protect it from the cold. In addition, this plant does not require much care. In fact, watering in times of heat and protection against extremely cold temperatures is sufficient.
