Rose planting is carried out by seeds or cuttings. Seedlings must be selected in March. It is required to carefully examine the bush. There should be no rot on the roots, there should be 3-4 shoots on the bush.

Before planting a seedling, the roots are soaked in water for 2 hours. To disinfect the root system, it is necessary to soak it in a weak solution of potassium permanganate for 30 minutes.

The seeds are harvested at the end of summer. The fruits are cut in half and the planting material is taken out of them. Then within 20 minutes. it is washed in hydrogen peroxide. Seeds are planted both in the garden and at home.

The best time to plant is from May to June, before the heat hits.

The place should be sunny and protected from drafts and gusts of wind.

Suitable soil: loose, fertilized and clayey.

How to plant a rose

How to land

To plant seedlings, you must:

1. Prepare a pit 50-60 cm deep.
2. Spill a hole with two liters of water.
3. Fill it with a mixture of earth, sand and fertilizer. All in equal proportion.
4. Plant the seedling into the soil 2-3 cm to the point of thickening.
5. Tamp the soil around the plant.
6. Make an embankment for the flow of water to the roots.

To carry out planting seeds, you need:

1. To plant the planting material at home, you need to lay it out between the substrate, which is dipped in hydrogen peroxide.
2. Cover everything with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
3. They should stay in the refrigerator for two months. If necessary, they need to be moistened.
4. After ripening, the seeds are planted in pots. The first 10 hours they must be kept in good lighting.

Then in August they are planted in open ground. The soil should be loose and well fertilized.

Care

Hybrid tea rose care consists in watering, feeding, pruning and replanting. Care for the rose is required carefully so that the bush develops well and blooms.

Watering

Watering the bush is necessary rarely, but abundantly. Enough once a week. The water should be rain or melt.

After the plant is planted and during the active flowering period, you need to water it up to three times a day. In autumn, the rose is not watered, but this is possible only if there is no rain.

Watering should be abundant, but rare

Top dressing

In order for the bushes to grow actively, they must be fed with mineral fertilizers. The composition of the soil is improved by organic fertilizing. In the first year, the flower is not fertilized.

To prepare the rose for winter, sprinkle with potassium sulfate. For the first time, dry mineral fertilizers are applied in the spring. This is done after watering by scattering around the bush. Then everything is closed up and watering is done again.

A week later, add mullein solution. It is laid out near the bush, loosened and watered. After the appearance of the ovary of the buds, cow dung is introduced.

Pruning and replanting

Pruning is done in early spring to prevent the spread of fungal infections. Cut short, leaving only a few buds. What is cut off is burned. Then the bush is treated with copper sulfate.

Formative pruning is carried out in the fall to remove excess shoots. If this is not done, then the bush will grow strongly.

The transplant is carried out in the fall. The bush must be dug out carefully from all sides. When the taproot is found, it must be chopped off. The bush is laid out on a large package. The future pit should be larger than the previous one.

For the winter, the bush is covered with dry leaves and pine branches. Pour earth up to 25 cm high on top.

It is necessary to carry out spring and autumn pruning.

• poor insulation in winter;
• surplus or deficiency of fertilizers;
• improper watering.
