Regally beautiful bushes can grow in one place for many years. To do this, provide them with a complex of nutrients. The main portion of the required plant nutrition is obtained at the time of planting. Before planting roses in the holes, you need to revive the roots of the seedlings by pruning them with a secateurs of 1 cm. Pruning is especially relevant during spring planting, when plants harvested in autumn are used as planting material.

Loamy soils and chernozems are well suited for the proper development and growth of roses. Sandy soil requires a radical improvement and the addition of peat and humus. Roses on sandy soil freeze more often, and in summer it overheats and easily loses moisture. The soil under the roses must be mulched with peat.
Caring for a planted rose in the first year determines the further development of the bush. Immediately after planting, plants are abundantly watered, but water stagnation must not be allowed - the roots will die. During the growing season, care consists in the timely removal of weeds, loosening of the soil and top dressing. Around the second decade of June, plants need to be fed with slurry, then repeat the procedure. The feeding schedule is built in such a way that it includes 3-4 feeding, the last - no later than the last decade of August.
