Rosa is undoubtedly an aristocrat of our gardens. Thanks to the efforts of breeders and the variety of varieties and species, it can decorate flowerbeds, balconies, terraces, pergolas, arches, discounts, house facades, serve as a hedge. The subject of this article will be a weaving rose, planting and care of which is somewhat different from the cultivation of traditional bush varieties.
If you want to arrange roses along the facade of the building or near small trees, then the distance between them should be at least 1.5 meters. It is not recommended to plant roses on the north side of the building. The best option is pergolas and arches.
Care and planting of roses of climbing varieties is as follows: firstly, they must be located separately from other flowers, in groups. And secondly, you should choose a well-ventilated and sunny place for landing, but at the same time shaded in the peak of heat. This precaution will protect the plant from the attack of pests and will not affect the color of buds and flowers (they will not fade or burn out in the hot sun). And thirdly, the land must be fertile, fertilized with humus and well-drained.
The goal of any amateur gardener is to make the care and planting of roses as simple as possible, and the result - a beautifully flowering plant - achieved as quickly as possible, which is somewhat difficult due to our climatic conditions. Therefore, choose varieties that give buds already in the second year, and flowering begins in June and continues until mid-autumn.
Before planting roses, determine the level of groundwater in your area. If they are high, then a stone should be put at the bottom of the pit for planting roses: the roots will abut this barrier during growth, which will protect them from decay. Remember that the
root system of some varieties can reach 2 m, but there are tub plants. Therefore, when buying seedlings, pay attention to the description of their properties. So, seedlings can be:
- root and grafted;
- with open or closed root systems.
Care and planting roses. Campaign start
In a harsh climate, they begin planting bushes in the spring so that delicate plants do not freeze during the winter. In an area characterized by milder climatic conditions, roses are recommended to be planted in autumn.
If you start work in the spring, then, having chosen the necessary place for planting, dig holes with a distance of 1-3 meters between them, with a volume of 50 * 50 * 100 cm. When choosing a plant, consider further bending of the stems for winter shelter. When planting, the seedling should have 5 - 7 buds, the rest should be removed, the roots are also cut to 25 cm.
If you purchased a grafted seedling, then before planting it is necessary to prepare a solution of clay and mullein (10%), the mixture should have a sour cream consistency. You will dip roots into it and only then plant it. The place of vaccination should be deepened by 10 - 15 cm in the soil. This will prevent the grafted part from releasing its roots and crushing the entire plant with shoots. As you can see, both the care and planting of the roses of this kind (grafted) are quite simple and not burdensome. It all comes down to eliminating young shoots throughout the summer. The rest of the summer rose care consists in timely watering. The crops planted in the fall before the onset of cold weather must be insulated, wrapped, and in the spring trimmed and fed.
