What a blessing that you have the opportunity to plant a rose. It doesn’t matter - a large bush in human height, a chic wicker in the garden, a Chinese or a miniature rose in a pot - it will always be a joy. Unless, of course, blooms. And if not? This will be a great grief for you, and only you will be to blame for the failure. Do not know why the rose does not bloom? Because there is no proper care for her.
What does a rose like?Like any queen, the rose is capricious and whimsical. She loves good soil, decent nutrition, plenty of light, but not under the burning rays of the sun. She also loves patience and respect. These are general rules for all roses. And what special requirements each variety has - more on that below.
What did you do wrong?
It seems that all conditions are met: the seedling was planted in loose fertile soil on the sunny side. But why does not the rose bloom? Firstly, without panic - everything does not happen all of a sudden. The bush should take root in a new place, give good sprouts. And then, it may not bloom in the first season, it depends on the variety. At the initial stage, it is important that the plant is healthy, gives strong shoots. And if there are no flowers already in the second year, then it's time to sound the alarm. You may have forgotten about obligatory top dressing. Or maybe they overdid it with nitrogen fertilizers - the rose prefers potash, superphosphate. Fertilizers need to be applied sparingly, but regularly, while always loosening the root soil.
Proper pruning is half the success
During the season, the rose needs to be thinned out as needed. Serious problems why the rose does not bloom include excessive bush thickening. It is necessary in time to cut off old or incorrectly growing stems, as well as wild shoots - those stems that break out from the root and differ from other shoots with pale green small leaves. They need to be removed, as they say, at the root, so that they do not deplete the plant. By the way, lush shoots are one of the main reasons why the climbing rose does not bloom . But in this case, the attitude to young shoots should be more discriminating: it is they who replace the rapidly aging stems. So, removing excess growth, there is a risk of overdoing it. Leave each time the strongest shoots growing in the right direction and tie them up as soon as possible - after all, already next season they will be the main stems covered with flowers.
Why does not the rose bloom at home?Most often, hibiscus, or Chinese rose, is grown indoors . This beautiful plant feels great in apartments and offices, growing in voluminous bushes up to one and a half meters high. Shiny dark green foliage creates an atmosphere of comfort in the house. But here you often hear complaints: why does not the Chinese rose bloom ? By and large, it is not so capricious, lends itself perfectly to the formation of a crown, quickly grows and, in principle, should bloom almost all year round. True, for this she requires some privileges for herself. You can’t put it in a dark corner, but you can’t even put it in direct sunlight. And, of course, near the hot battery she feels bad. She loves water and immediately reacts to the drying up of an earthen coma, but it is also not necessary to fill it excessively. A large plant, it would seem, feels better in a large pot, but not hibiscus. Its root system is more suitable for a medium-sized pot, so that it does not require excess moisture that the rose cannot master. In spring, the bush can be taken out into the courtyard or onto the balcony. Here, perhaps, are all the secrets of roses. Although no, we forgot about pests. All kinds of mites, thrips, aphids, whiteflies are very susceptible to rose bushes. If you do not take care of their destruction, you can forget about blooming roses.
