Winter winds tend to be more damaging, so in autumn make sure all your climbers are well tied into their supports. Also cut back any open-shaped shrubs which could be vulnerable. Roses and buddleja are typical of the shrubs that can get blown about and damaged. Cut away about a third of the total amount you would normally cut away in spring. This will protect the plant against the worst of the winter winds and you can finish pruning it at the usual time in spring. Lastly, mulch any bare soil. This protective layer will prevent water from evaporating and will also stop the soil being blown away. Garden compost, well-rotted manure or mushroom compost are all good; hay, straw or cocoa shells are too light and are liable to be blown away.
