How to plant roses in open ground in August and September in different regions of the country

Roses are one of the flowers most beloved by gardeners, which are grown everywhere in almost all regions of the Russian Federation. Many gardeners are mistaken that they should be planted only with the onset of steady spring heat.

Autumn plantings of the culture, which will please their flowering next year, take root well at the temperature and humidity indicators characteristic of August and September. Autumn is considered the best time for planting seedlings.

A rose is planted throughout Russia, with the exception of the Far North regions. The northern climate is not suitable for growing flowers, whimsical to temperature and humidity. In August and September, you can plant rose seedlings in the middle lane of the European part of the Russian Federation, Moscow Region, in the southern part of the European North. In the middle lane, rose planting is completed at the end of October, in the south of the Russian North in the last days of September.

Pros and cons of planting roses in August-September

August and September are favorable months for planting roses. The soil substrate during this period has an optimum temperature and a percentage of natural moisture content.

Watch the temperature background. It is important that during the day the temperature should not be lower than 10 ° C, and at night the thermometer should not drop below + 5 ° C. Extreme heat, like cooling, negatively affects the process of adaptation. The ideal temperature range for planting roses is from + 5 ° C at night to + 15 ° C during the day.

Depending on the region, plan the time for planting pink seedlings. If the first frosts in your area happen in mid-October, then the flowers should be planted before September 15th. In a month, the seedlings will have time to take root and adapt well in the substrate. If you follow these rules, in the spring of roses will already delight the flowering of the first buds.

Experienced gardeners do not recommend planting roses in August. Since the flower will have optimal conditions for growth, it can develop buds and prepare buds. But before the onset of cold weather, the rose will not have time to fully blossom. This is stress for a plant that negatively affects wintering. A culture may perish by devoting its resources to flowering rather than preparing for wintering.

	Spring planting	Autumn planting
Growth and flowering conditions	Favorable conditions for growth and flowering	Favorable conditions only for adaptation and growth
Humidity of air and soil	Low humidity, regular watering required	High humidity, favorable conditions for adaptation and development of the root system
Temperature stability	There is a danger of sudden frost	More stable long-term temperature background, soil warmed up over the summer
Availability of quality seedlings	Most often last year's seedlings are available.	A wide range of varieties and species

When it is better to plant roses - it is up to the gardener to decide. You can use both periods for planting for planting in order to enjoy pink flowering, from May to August.

How to prepare rose seedlings for planting in the fall

For rose seedlings, you should carefully approach the choice of seedlings. They should be bought at specialized stores, agricultural farms, and from trusted suppliers. If you plan to start disembarking immediately after purchase, pay attention to the instances where you can visually evaluate the root system.

When choosing a rose seedling, it is important that the root system is:

• evenly developed in different directions;
• have a brown color;
• do not have dark spots, rot.

The seedling itself must have at least 3 strong main branches of saturated green color. Shoots should have spikes, a dense trunk.

When buying a pink seedling in a container, you should make sure that the plant is firmly in the ground and that the soil is easily behind the walls of the container. Existing leaves should be fresh, without dry areas, damage, stains.

Preparing a seedling for planting

Before planting, seedlings should be prepared for better adaptation:

• each plant for a day immersed in water so that the liquid covers the root system;
• dried or weak roots should be removed;
• adjust the length of the root system to 30 cm. There is no need for a larger root size; it will be more difficult for them to adapt to the substrate;
• Trim leaves at the trunk. Do not break them. It is better to cut with scissors or a special garden tool;
• green shoots need to be shortened to 30 cm;
• cut the kidneys below the vaccination segment. If this is not done, the rose will give empty shoots that will take away nutrients and moisture from the flower itself.

Experts recommend spraying the plant with a solution of copper sulfate of 3% concentration to strengthen each bush, make it resistant to rot, damage by parasites and fungal diseases. Before planting, the root system can be dipped in an aqueous solution with cow manure (10 liters of water 1 liter of mullein).

How to choose a place for planting roses

Before boarding, carefully approach the landing site. Practice has shown that rosaries take root well and bloom in sunny windless areas, closed from the north wind.

It is not recommended to plant roses in the shade of buildings or near bushes and trees. Flowers will need warmth, light, and nourishment. They will reach for the sun, be weak and vulnerable to diseases and parasites.

It is also best not to select areas with excessive humidity. If excess moisture is often collected in the furrows, after the rains the groundwater level rises, you should look for a more elevated place. Waterlogged soil will cause putrefactive damage to the root system.

Soil quality requirements

Roses perfectly take root, grow and bloom in fertile soil rich in microelements. You should take care of the quality of the soil in which you plan to plant seedlings.

The soil should be prepared as follows:

• digging at least 40 cm deep;
• the addition of lime or dolomite flour at high acidity;
• making peat or compost, if the soil is clay.

After digging with a garden tool, harrowing is carried out to break up large pieces of soil and provide the best aeration.

Ways of planting roses

It is important to maintain the optimal distance between the bushes so that each plant receives enough light, moisture and nutrients. To do this, prepare the wells. The size of each hole must be at least:

• 40 cm in depth;
• 50 cm wide.

If the area allows, provide a diameter of each landing hole of 70 cm.

Distance between roses

The distance between the planting holes varies depending on the variety of roses. Tall flowers can be planted closer to each other, bushy plants require a greater distance.

Two ways to plant roses in the fall

Roses are planted in two proven ways:

• dry way. Using a spatula, a small mound of soil collected from the bottom of the fossa is organized with a spatula in the landing hole. The planted bush is set on top of the knoll with a depth of 5-10 cm in the center. The root system is carefully distributed over the surface of its area. Then the hole is filled with soil and lightly rammed;
• wet way. The technique consists in immersing the seedling in a liquid that spills onto the bottom of the planting hole. As a liquid, a solution is prepared from sodium humate in a proportion of 3 l of water and 10 g of dry matter. At least 3 liters of the finished solution must be poured into each hole. After the seedling is immersed in the liquid at the bottom of the pit, the soil is poured on top and compacted.

After planting, it is necessary to water the ground next to the rose in order to exclude voids in the buried hole. Both methods have proven themselves among flower growers.

Rose care

After planting, seedlings need to provide regular and proper care, such as:

• high-quality shelter for warming to protect the plant from low temperatures. You should purchase a special coating that will ensure optimal air circulation and will not cause fungal or mold formations on the soil or flowers;
• watering when the soil dries. Autumn days and nights are quite wet, so regular watering is not required.

Tips from experienced gardeners

Florists with experience recommend that when planting roses in the fall, adhere to the following rules:

• Do not use only peat substratum as a landing site. This type of soil contains a large amount of moisture, which causes rotting of the root system;
• it is more expedient to plant roses in loamy soil. It is rich in useful substances and minerals, provides favorable aeration;
• it is required to arrange the root system of the seedling most optimally. This will help the plant to take root in the soil and endure winter time;
• do not water with cold water.

The recommendations of experienced summer residents have a justified basis under themselves in the form of statistics and the basics of floriculture.

Reviews

You should read the reviews of experienced gardeners to ensure optimal conditions for the development of the rosary and in the spring to enjoy the heady aroma and lush color of rose bushes.

Elena Pankratova, Penza, 47 years old. I love roses and only recently dared to plant them in my country house. A neighbor gave me extra seedlings of floribunda roses and I decided to plant them in the fall. For 3 years now I have been planting roses in mid-September, placing them 50 cm apart. First, I spill the hole with humate fertilizer and immerse the seedling. In the spring, at the end of May, my rose garden is fragrant.

 

Alena Maksimenko, Zhukovsky, 58 years old. I have been planting roses in my country house near Moscow for the eighth year. I buy a spray rose for planting. She is the most unpretentious to the soil. Before planting, I well fertilize the ground with mullein in a couple of weeks. I plant bushes in 80-90 cm from each other. As the first frost begins, I cover the flowers with a spanbond.

 

Ekaterina Vieva, Kostroma, 64 years old. I used to plant a rose only in spring, I thought that this is the best time for planting - this is spring. But once, due to departure, she missed May and June. I decided to plant in September. You know, the plants next year began to grow and bloom much more intensively. The rosary, planted in the fall, has large strong buds and is less likely to get sick.
