The constellations near the plane of the ecliptic (the zodiacal constellations) are only visible at certain times of the year. The constellations towards the poles (N and S) are visible at all times of the year from their respective hemispheres. In the South, the Southern Cross would be one example and in the North the Great Bear (or plough) would be another.

Can you use constellations to tell what season it is?
The constellations make a "complete circle" over the course of a year... that is, the stars that were visible at midnight on October 17 this year are the same ones that were visible on October 17 of last year, and so on. If you can roughly identify midnight and you're familiar with the constellations, you can make a pretty good guess as to the date just by looking up, and figuring out the season is much easier than that.
How long do constellations stay in the night sky Aries?
You had an actual grammatical question going there right up until the end. It's actually impossible to answer, since "circumpolar" constellations (such as Ursa Minor for observers in the northern hemisphere) are always in the night sky, and other constellations (such as Crux for observers in the northern hemisphere) are never in the night sky (or the day sky either, for that matter).Zodiacal constellations such as Aries are approximately on the celestial equator, and are therefore visible at night for approximately half the year.
