Charlie, please could you tell us 5 which fill the bill?

Start with one of the cirrhosa's, Balearica would do nicely, November to
April, Then an alpina, followed by a montana then one of the Group 2's
like Nelly Moser (there are several thousand of these to chose from) they
do the May June period, lastly the hard prune sorts with the longer later
flower periods like Polish Spirit which do July to Sep/Oct the gap is
filled by the group 2 coming back into flower for Sep, Oct, Nov.
As I said its doable with 5 but easier with more as you can do more
overlapping
