How to plant a Belvedere rose
The further development and appearance of an adult plant depends on the quality of the planting material. Therefore, seedlings should be purchased from reliable, well-proven sellers for a long time. Rose bushes should be free of damage, signs of disease.
It is preferable to plant bushes grown in a nursery. There, the seedlings are provided with professional care: feeding, treatment against diseases and pests, hardening. One- and two-year plantings will take root best of all.
In addition, the gardener can plant self-grown roses from cuttings. Seed propagation on the site is usually not used.
Bushes can be planted in spring or autumn. The first option is used in the northern regions so that the rose has time to take root well before the onset of frost.In the southern regions, planting is allowed in the fall, a month before the onset of cold weather. The autumn period is preferable because the gardener can see the buds on the purchased plants.
When exposed to bright sunlight, the color of the flowers changes: it becomes faded, lightened. In the place where the bushes will be grown, groundwater should not come close to the soil surface.
The landing site is cleared of debris, dug up. If the soil is acidified, lime, dolomite flour is added to it. Heavy, clayey soil is loosened with sand and peat. Healthy branches of the seedling are pruned to 2-3 buds, dry and damaged ones are cut out completely. The root system is dipped in warm water for 11-12 hours.
Planting procedure step by step
The Belvedere rose is planted as follows:
- They dig a ditch 60 centimeters deep and in diameter.
- Expanded clay is spread with a layer of 10 centimeters.
- Then a loose, fertile substrate is poured.
- In the middle, the earth is poured with a slide, a seedling is installed, the root system is spread on the sides.
- They fill up the earth so that the root collar is slightly deepened.
The root circle is tamped, watered with 2 buckets of water.

Plant care
Rose Belvedere requires care during the entire planting season: watering as needed, feeding several times during the spring-autumn period, mulching. Be sure to prune after flowering. In cold regions, the rose is huddled and covered for the winter.
- Watering rules and humidity
In the description of the Belvedere rose, it is indicated that the plantation is drought-resistant.
But in order for the bushes to look spectacular for a long time, they need to be watered periodically. Moisturizing can be done sparsely, but always abundant. At least a bucket of water is poured under each planting. Irrigation from above is not recommended, as the rose bush can be affected by powdery mildew from excessive moisture.
- Top dressing and soil quality
In the spring, the bushes are fertilized with nitrogen-containing compounds. They are needed for the rapid growth of shoots and leaves of plants.
Then the rose bush is fed with top dressing, consisting mainly of phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, boron, and other trace elements. For this, you can use a universal fertilizer for decorative flowering plants.
- Pruning and replanting
Spring pruning of roses is carried out immediately after the onset of warm weather. In this case, 3-4 buds are left on the shoot, counting from the surface of the soil.
Throughout the season, sanitary pruning is performed, removing dry, damaged, diseased stems. Faded buds are cut so that young shoots appear from dormant buds.
Young bushes no more than 3 years old are transplanted to a new place in spring or autumn.
- Features of wintering a flower
Before the onset of stable frosts, water-charging irrigation is carried out. Moisture-infused plants will more easily endure wintering.
Then the bushes are spud with peat or humus. If severe frosts are expected, arcs are installed around the plantings, which are covered with agrofibre.
Blooming rose
Belvedere rose has a high degree of decorativeness due to its beautiful buds and long flowering. If the planting is properly looked after, it will be possible to admire the orange flowers from early summer to late autumn.
Belvedere rosebuds begin to bloom in June. Flowering lasts 2-3 weeks, then there is a short break. During this period, it is necessary to cut off all inflorescences starting to wither, thereby helping the formation of new flowering shoots. A new wave of spectacular rose bloom will begin soon.
During flowering, a rose expends a lot of energy, therefore, especially careful care must be taken during this period. The bushes are watered, fed, mulched, sprayed against diseases and pests. After flowering, the shoots are cut off so that the re-formation of inflorescences begins faster.

What to do if it does not bloom, possible reasons
The rose may not bloom for the following reasons:
- The site was incorrectly selected for her. For example, if the bushes are planted in swampy soil or in a shady place. In this case, the rose must be transplanted to a light, well-drained area.
- Pruning errors. If the shoots are cut too low, they may not bloom in June. In the grown stems, flowers will form only by the end of summer.
- Improper watering. The rose needs sparse but abundant irrigation. After watering, the soil is loosened and mulched to retain moisture in it.
- Improper feeding. If the rose is constantly fed with nitrogen during the season, flowering may not occur. This element is needed only in the spring to build up the vegetative mass. In summer, the land is fertilized with potassium and phosphorus.
Flower propagation
Rose Belvedere (Belvedere) is bred by cuttings, seedlings, grafting, layering. Seed propagation is laborious, so gardeners usually do not use it. With this option, breeders are developing new varieties of roses.
You can propagate the culture in spring, summer or autumn. If by cuttings it was not possible to breed the rose on time, you can keep the shoots in a cool place in winter and plant them in the spring. Some gardeners, experimenting with breeding methods, root cuttings in potatoes. This option can be used throughout the year.

The most popular method for self-breeding roses is cuttings. To do this, choose stems 5-6 millimeters thick. The breeding procedure is performed as follows:
- cut shoots 15 centimeters long;
- sprinkle the lower sections with a growth enhancer;
- planted in boxes with loose, fertile soil;
- cover with foil.
The containers are placed in a warm place. When the cuttings take root, the shelter is removed. The grown seedlings are planted first in separate containers, then in a permanent place.
Diseases, pests and ways to control them
Floral misfortunes are easier to prevent than to cure later. Therefore, several times during spring and autumn, the bushes are sprayed with antifungal drugs.
Pathogenic microorganisms can arise as a result of waterlogging of the soil or aboveground parts of plants. To prevent the appearance of pests, roses are sprayed with insecticides.
Rose scrub Belvedere is a spectacular plantation that can decorate any garden plot with its appearance. With proper care, the gardener will admire the bloom all summer and half of the fall. For novice flower lovers, it is important that the variety can be planted even in the Volga region, in the Urals, in Siberia.
