Border roses planting and care for which are quite simple, still need to know some of the "secrets". When planting roses, pay special attention to the fact that the site is well protected from the wind and at the same time is well lit.
Light and fertile soil needs border roses. Planting and care (the photo you see in our article) behind them suggests the need to deepen the seedling into the ground by three to five centimeters. The distance between the bushes should be at least twenty centimeters.
It is important that the winter grows sufficiently, the root system is well developed and strengthened, thanks to which border roses will tolerate winter well. Planting and care in the spring are justified. Planting plants is necessary at the very beginning of spring. In the beginning, cover small seedlings with some covering material. Do not worry, the flower will not suffer from small spring frosts.
Care
Planting border roses in spring (subject to certain rules of care) will allow your favorite flowers to maintain a beautiful view for a long time. What needs to be done in order for the plant to bloom and develop actively?
Many beginning gardeners are interested in border roses. Planting and caring for them most often depends on the variety you choose - some bushes bloom from early spring to late autumn, others two months a year, and still others bloom twice a year. For these plants, the conditions of the garden are almost ideal, since it is for such soil that they are intended.
It is important to carefully monitor that various diseases and pests do not appear on the plant. Roses need timely pruning - then the miniature flower will look well-groomed and magnificent. Remove old stems, then new ones will grow much faster.
Border roses, planting and caring for which even a beginner in gardening can afford, need preparation for the winter. Spruce spruce branches should be placed on the flower and between the leaves of the plant - it will keep your rose during the winter. Then you need to install a wire frame, which will be twenty centimeters above the bush, and cover it with insulation material on top. You can use plastic wrap.
Starting in April, roses should be periodically ventilated so that the buds begin to grow in time. When you notice that the edges of the film begin to thaw, it means that it is time to remove the spruce branches.
Breeding
In early May and until July, half-tree shoots with buds appear on the bush. They must be cut into pieces with a very sharp knife so that 2-3 buds remain on each process. Hold the sprout in the rooting solution before planting. Then they are planted for propagation under a slight slope at a distance of thirty centimeters, otherwise the leaves and petals will begin to fall off.
The young bush is well watered and covered with a glass jar - so you will create greenhouse conditions for it right on the bed. After 45-50 days, a new bush is transplanted to a permanent place. Prior to this, it must be watered and sprayed for active growth. Thus, the propagation of border roses occurs.
We grow border roses at home
At the beginning of our article, we talked about the fact that these plants perfectly take root in a city apartment. Many flower growers dream that they would grow a curb rose at home. For such connoisseurs of this plant, there are roses that are sold in pots. They begin to bloom earlier than their relatives in the open field, and finish flowering much later, thanks to a favorable microclimate.
Border roses in pots begin to bloom in May-June, and in the store we often see them blooming all year. When choosing a potted rose, pay attention to how many flowers have already blossomed - there should be few of them, and much more buds. Look carefully at the leaves - they should have a juicy green color, without damage and stains.
Home Rose Care
As you know, border roses are grown in greenhouses before sale. They maintain a temperature of no higher than +18 ° C. Therefore, it is very important at first to maintain the same temperature regime. This will facilitate flower acclimatization. It is better to buy a rose in a pot in the cold season (from autumn to spring) or in February-March. At this time, it is easiest to provide the flower with a reduced temperature at home.
Usually a rose is first placed on a glazed balcony. Later, when it gets stronger, you can move it to the apartment, but you should not put it next to the batteries and other heating devices.
As a rule, roses are sold in small pots at the store, but you should not rush them to transplant them into a large container until flowering is completed. Check the soil moisture regularly (in small pots it dries out very quickly). In watering you should find a middle ground - water the plant little by little, but often - so as not to over-moisten and not to dry the ground.
From mid-May, roses in pots can be carried out into the air. This will allow them to strengthen their immunity and gain strength. It must be said that if you do not have a summer cottage, then the border rose will be happy to spend your vacation on the balcony. You can even transfer it to a drawer on the balcony.
From March to August, potted roses are fertilized twice a month. To do this, it is better to use liquid top dressing for indoor plants. Cut off wilted flowers. A slice is made under the first two leaves under the flower.
With the onset of cold weather, in the middle lane it is usually in October, border roses in pots are brought into the apartment. From October to March, they are at rest. At this time, the ideal temperature for them is twelve degrees.
Growing roses from seeds
Today there is no problem in acquiring a blooming rose - these flowers are in every flower shop. However, true flower growers prefer to grow border roses on their own. Landing and caring for them are extremely exciting.
It is difficult to grow a rose from seeds on your own, but the result of your work will exceed all expectations. The seeds of these plants germinate for a very long time. They are planted either in late autumn in ordinary containers with light fertile soil, or in February under glass. It is necessary to maintain the temperature not higher than +5 ° . The seeds should be planted to a depth of 0.5 cm. In any of the options you have chosen, the seeds will sprout at the very end of spring or early summer. And one more secret - before planting the seeds must be soaked for 2 weeks at +20 ° C.
