It is difficult to imagine a garden or a cottage plot without flowers. Annual garden plants are perfectly combined with perennials, forming a single multi-colored and fragrant decorative background, the favorite of which is an unrivaled rose, so different and unique. Owners of plots are not limited to several bushes. As a rule, roses are planted in the ground in spring. The survival and development of the plant depends on the correctness and thoroughness of an important agricultural technique.
When to plant roses?
When determining the terms, the climatic conditions of the area in which the garden is located are taken into account. For example, in the southern regions of Russia, roses are planted for a longer period. It will last from spring to autumn. And in the northern regions, the most favorable is the planting of roses in open ground in spring.
Planning the date of this important event depends on the type of seedling. Planting material grown in pots or containers is afraid of frost. Therefore, the timing of planting depends on weather conditions. Such plants can be moved to the open ground only when the probability of short-term spring temperature drops passes. Unstable weather conditions can destroy planted plants. This period falls on the second decade of May. Roses with an open root system are planted in April.
Site selection
The layout of the rosary should be approached with particular attention. The normal development of bushes that grow in one place for 10-15 years depends on its location and the quality of the soil . Planting roses in the ground in spring is made on a previously prepared site. It should be flat and protected from the wind. When planting new rose bushes, do not use garden areas in which these flower crops have already grown. Light and loose soils with good aerobic qualities will be most suitable.
It can be loam or chernozem with a minimum amount of humus. A heavier or lighter soil composition is treated and additional components added. Perfectly improves the quality of the soil peat, introduced in a ratio of 1: 3. Roses are planted in spring in the ground, prepared in the fall. The site is being dug up. In this case, it is necessary to introduce organic fertilizers.
Open root seedlings
Planting roses in the ground in the spring makes it possible to observe the entire cycle of plant development. Saplings are kept in water for at least two hours before planting. A growth promoter or a root promoter may be added to the fluid. Roses are planted in fairly voluminous pits, the width and depth of which is forty or fifty centimeters. The bottom is filled with a fertile layer, into which well-rotted compost and mineral fertilizers are added . Seedlings must be cut immediately before planting. Stems are shortened, leaving twenty-centimeter shoots.
Remove dead and damaged branches and roots. Have a seedling in the center of the planting pit. At the same time straighten the roots. The vaccination site is located at the level of the soil. The pit is filled with a fertile earth mixture and watered abundantly. After this, voids are compacted, and soil subsidence occurs. Pour the earth and form a watering hole. Re-moisten the seedling and mulch the soil. Planting roses in the ground in the spring involves sheltering young bushes with any covering material. This will protect the planted roses from the active spring sun.
Closed root system planting material
From May to August, seedlings grown in containers or pots can be planted. At the same time, planting roses in the spring in the ground requires more attention than plants with a root system that is open. First of all, during the week pots with seedlings are taken out onto the street. Planting material will be hardened and will better transfer movement to open ground.
The shoots immediately before planting are shortened by ten or twelve centimeters. The diameter and depth of the planting pit are 40 cm each. Its bottom is sprinkled with a mound of fertile soil. A seedling is placed on it without destroying the earthen lump. The seat is filled with soil. The seedling is placed 2 cm deeper than it was grown in a pot. Next, water abundantly. After subsidence, the soil is poured and slightly compacted. Water again and carry out an earthing up. The first week after planting roses, they are protected from the scorching sun.
How to plant cuttings?
Roses are propagated in many ways. One of them is the planting of roses in the spring in the ground by cuttings. The length of the handle should be at least eight centimeters. The upper section is performed above the kidney at the level of five millimeters. The lower part of the handle should be cut at an angle of forty-five degrees under the kidney.
Before planting it is treated with drugs that contribute to the formation of roots. Cuttings are planted in partial shade. For this, a furrow is prepared, the depth of which is at least 15 cm. The bottom is filled with sand. Cuttings are located at a distance of fifteen to thirty centimeters. In this case, the lower kidney is located at ground level. The earth is compacted and moistened. Successful rooting requires the creation of a
greenhouse effect. For this, the planted cuttings are covered with a plastic wrap.
Planting climbing roses in the ground in spring
To create a floral arrangement, various types of garden crops are selected. With vertical gardening, climbing roses cannot be avoided. The compositions composed of them are fantastically beautiful. This species is grown on a trellis or support. Planting climbing roses in the spring in the ground does not require the preparation of large sections. For them, well-ventilated sunny places are selected. The most suitable are the high sites of the southern exposure. Under favorable conditions, climbing roses develop rapidly. Bushes will please bloom next year if roses were planted in spring in the ground.
The photo shows how pretty blooming climbing roses are. When using these colors as a decorative component of the structure, planting is performed, 0.5 meters away from it. The arrangement of climbing roses is 50 x 50 cm. A fertile earthen mixture with humus is added to the bottom of the dug hole. After planting, the branches are abundantly watered and shortened to 20 cm. When trellis is grown, the pit is placed at a distance of 20 cm from it. In spring, climbing roses are planted in such a way that the grafting site is 5 cm below the level of the flower bed. The root system of the seedling is placed obliquely to the support. When arranging the trellis near the house, the distance from the wall is at least 10 cm. This will provide a sufficient flow of air, as well as more comfortable care for the plant.
Park roses
They have beauty and delicate aroma, abundant flowering, excellent winter-hardiness and unpretentiousness - these are the characteristics of an amazing group of roses, which are called park roses. They are planted in the autumn. It is also possible to plant roses in the spring in the ground. Park roses perfectly tolerate the change of permanent place of growth. They are universal. They are used not only for landscaping parks and alleys, but also for decorative arrangement of summer cottages and personal plots. Plants of this group do not require shelter for the winter. When planting, it should be borne in mind that park roses are powerful tall bushes. They are located at a distance of one or one and a half meters from each other.
In order to properly place the roots, the pits should be at least 70 cm deep and 90 cm in diameter. Planting of roses in spring in open ground is done in April. When choosing a site, it should be noted that plants of this group are photophilous. In extreme cases, they can be planted at partial shade. A plot for roses is not located near trees and is protected from drafts.
Caring for roses after planting
A whole range of measures will ensure good survival and normal development of seedlings that were planted in the spring.
Regular watering is required to ensure root formation. Also constantly loosen the soil and remove weed grass. They carry out protective measures against pests and diseases.
