Then the seeds are placed on a cotton pad soaked in hydrogen peroxide and removed to a dark place with an air temperature of no more than + 18 ° C. After the sprouts appear, they are planted in a container with soil or in a peat tablet. Now they need watering and sufficient lighting. The temperature should be around + 20 ° C. Further, the seedlings are planted in the ground in the spring.

How to prepare the soil and flower for planting

Planting procedure step by step

Planting seedlings is simple, almost the same as for other roses:

• we dig a hole 40 cm deep;
• we lay out a drainage layer of gravel or crushed stone (8 cm) in it;
• then place a layer of fertilizers (8 cm);
• we fall asleep garden soil;
• we place a seedling in the hole so that the soil covers the root collar by 3-5 cm;
• we compact and moisten the soil under the seedling.

Plant care

Bush rose Lady Bombastic is a moisture-loving plant. The amount of water directly depends on the size of the bush.

Watering rules and humidity

The main thing is that the soil is moist, but not waterlogged.

Watering should be done after sunset to avoid burns and burnout around the edges of the buds.

Top dressing and soil quality

The soil for the Bombastic rose should be well fertilized with nitrogen fertilizers (saltpeter, urea). This will accelerate growth and ensure abundant flowering. With the onset of autumn, the plant needs potash and phosphorus fertilization.

Pruning and replanting

Pruning and replanting

Bush pruning is carried out twice a year. In spring, old shoots and branches damaged after wintering are removed. In autumn, the rose undergoes sanitary pruning: weak, diseased and damaged branches are removed. This will preserve the decorative effect of the bush and improve the formation of young shoots.

If the conditions of the growing site no longer meet the standards or the bush needs to be moved to another place, transplantation will help. It is held in early spring, before the buds have blossomed. Otherwise, the growing season of the plant will be disrupted and it may start to hurt and will not produce stunning flowering.

To begin with, dig a hole 45x45 centimeters. Next, a drainage layer, garden soil and fertilizers are placed there. A carefully dug plant is planted in a hole, buried and watered. If several bushes are transplanted, then the distance between them should be half a meter.

• perhaps little time has passed since landing. Flowering begins only from season 2;

• unsuitable soil with a lack of fertilizer. You should transplant or feed;

• lack of moisture. The irrigation schedule should be revised;

• incorrect pruning of branches after wintering. We'll have to wait for next fall and do everything right;

• the rose froze in winter. Only leaves will appear on the bush, and you need to wait for flowering next year. To avoid this again, shelter should be organized.
