Default bulb question from newbie gardner

The message
from "DLee" contains these words:

Hi All


When do you plant the bulbs - as they are all sold in the garden centres.
But I thought, if they are planted now, will they not get frozen to death in
the winter. Sorry but I read the books from the library - they tell how to
plant them, but not when.


Most bulbs should be planted to overwinter in the ground. The more
tender ones (like freesias) should be left till spring in colder areas.
