In the mid-climate climate, roses are planted after the last spring frosts. The optimal time for rooting: June-July. Planting cuttings in open ground in autumn should occur long before the first frost, so that the young bush can take root and successfully winter.
Caring for roses after planting will allow you to get beautiful buds, and the bush will give the opportunity to form and grow stronger over the summer.
Basic care rules
Caring for roses after planting consists of regular watering, loosening, removing faded buds and top dressing. It is worth noting that with proper pre-planting soil preparation and fertilizing in the first year, you can not feed the plants, but observe only the watering regime.
Watering is necessary every 7 days, in very dry and hot weather - once every 3-4 days. In this case, it is necessary to moisten the earth to the level of rooting. Weak, but daily watering is not only useless, but also harms the plant. In this case, moisture does not reach the roots, and
the topsoil is compacted, as a result of which air circulation is disturbed. Closer to the beginning of August, watering should be reduced to stop the growth of shoots and allow the wood to mature, thereby preparing for wintering.
Loosening and mulching the soil is another condition for the successful growth of roses. Any heat-insulating material is suitable as mulch: straw, rotted manure, humus, peat. When loosening, it is worth remembering the close occurrence of roots.
Top dressing
To care for roses after planting showed the expected results, do not forget to feed the plant. All fertilizers applied belong to the phosphate-potassium group. During budding, superphosphate (25 g per square meter) and potassium chloride (15 g per square meter) are added to the soil. Superphosphate and potassium are bred in 10 liters of mullein or diluted bird droppings. In their absence, mullein and bird droppings can be replaced by adding 30 g of urea to the water.
Ash is added to acidic heavy soils, and diluted bird droppings, mullein, and liquefied manure are added to weakened depleted soils.
Caring for roses after planting at home
A huge number of varieties of roses grow beautifully on window sills.
That is why many gardeners have a question: "How to care for roses at home?" There are several nuances of growing roses at home.
Caring for roses at home is reduced to observing light, temperature and watering conditions. In summer, you need to make decorative roses in the air, spraying, fertilizing with mineral fertilizers. In winter, do not overdry the plant, because during the heating season in the apartments there is a deficit of moisture in the air.
In addition, caring for roses after planting involves timely pruning of faded buds and the formation of a bush. All weak lateral shoots are cut, branches growing inside the bush and hampering the growth of the main shoots are also removed. Peduncles in a weak, diseased plant should be removed before blooming. And blooming buds need to be cut before they start to dry, since a drying bud is a hotbed for pathogenic bacteria and parasites.
