Hint
Draw a grid of the two colours each gardener could have.

Answer
Name
   Rose1
      Rose2

Gardener Blue
   red
      green

Gardener Green
   yellow
      red

Gardener Red
   blue
      yellow

Gardener Yellow
   blue
      green

Reasoning
We can create a grid of the possible flowers each person could have. Initially, they each have the possibility of BGRY (blue, green, red, yellow) and as we work our way through the clues we can eliminate certain options.
Person  F1     F2
Blue    BGRY   BGRY
Green   BGRY   BGRY
Red     BGRY   BGRY
Yellow  BGRY   BGRY

From (1), (2), (3) and (4) we can reduce the options to:

Blue    BGR BGR
Green   Y   BGRY
Red     B   BRY
Yellow  BGY BGY

By (9) this becomes:

Blue    BGR BGR
Green   Y   BGR
Red     B   RY
Yellow  BGY BGY

By (8) we get:

Blue    BGR BGR
Green   Y   BR
Red     B   RY
Yellow  BGY BGY

Only Blue can satisfy (5), and Yellow is the only person who can have the other G.

Blue    R G
Green   Y BR
Red     B RY
Yellow  G BY

By (8), Yellow can't be Y.

Blue    R G
Green   Y BR
Red     B RY
Yellow  G B

Since there are only two of each colour, we can reduce further:

Blue    R G
Green   Y R
Red     B Y
Yellow  G B

Hint
The answer is 4 digits long, so what must G equal?

Answer
423 + 675 = 1098.

Reasoning
Remembering that:
   even + even = even
   odd  + odd  = even
   even + odd  = odd

To discuss individual letters, it's easiest to represent the sum as:
   A B C
   D E F +
————————
 G H I J

A + D has to be over 9, which means that G = 1.

B + E = I, is even + odd = odd, which means that we can't have a carry from C + F (otherwise it would have been even + odd + 1, which is even).

The 1 has already gone, so the smallest possible value for either C or F is 3, which means that the other can't be 7 or 9 (otherwise we'd have a carry).

Therefore, C and F are 3 and 5, but we don't know which is which. But we do now know that J = 8.

A + D = H, is even + even = even, which means that we can't have a carry from B + E. Therefore, E can't be 9, as this would force a carry. So E = 7.

I is the only remaining odd number, so I = 9.

Which means that B = 2.

Neither A nor D can be 0 (otherwise we would have two of the same digit). So, H = 0.

Therefore, A and D are 4 and 6 (but we don't yet know which is which).

Since the top row's digits have to add to 9, A can't be 6, so A = 4, making C = 3.

This makes the sum 423 + 675 = 1098.
