Choosing a place for roses

With the proper arrangement of bushes, each rose will have enough light, moisture and nutrition for lush flowering.

Roses are a photophilous plant. Being in the midday sun during a hot period can adversely affect the state of foliage (sunburn) and the brightness of the color of buds (fading). Choose places that the morning sun illuminates, and in the afternoon, openwork partial shade saves roses from the heat.

When marking planting pits for climbing roses, maintain a distance of 50 cm from the wall of buildings.

Along the paths and along the edge of the flower garden, backing 30-40 cm, plant miniature and ground cover roses. Take Rosary for Tea Hybrid varieties and roses like floribunda. Large weaving bushes and scrubs place in the background of the composition. Blooming whips of roses look beautiful, framing arches and braiding fences.

The distance between the bushes of park roses should be at least 30-40 cm, between the climbing and the stamba - 100-120 cm. Plant miniature varieties with an interval of 20-25 cm.

Soil preparation and planting pits

Planting pits for seedlings are prepared in advance. It is not recommended to plant roses in freshly dug soil, as the earth shrinks. Growing roses is possible on any soil. It is important to correctly and timely make the necessary organic substances and fertilizers.

The planting process begins with the excavation and refueling of pits. Make such pits with a width of 50x50 cm and a depth of up to 0.5 m, lay the upper and lower soil layers separately.

The necessary organic and mineral additives are added to soils with different porosity and acidity.

Season black soil (the best soil for garden roses) with humus or compost (2-3 kg per bush), and add 50 g of complex mineral fertilizer (nitroammophosk).
When planting roses on heavy clay soils, add 3-5 kg of humus to the pit along a bucket of river sand and peat. Add 25-35 g of phosphoric or 50-80 g of complex fertilizer.
If you have light sandy soil, add to the planting pits a bucket of compost, humus, a couple of buckets of sod land and 50 g of mineral fertilizer such as nitroammophos.
Acidic soils before laying the rosary deoxidize by adding wood ash, chalk and adding black soil to the pits.

Mix all components in a landing pit with the top layer of the earth. Distribute the soil from the bottom layer of the pit (less fertile soil) around the planted plant.

Pour 1-2 buckets of water into the prepared pits. Cover with film or twigs to reduce evaporation. Leave for 1-3 weeks, and if possible - for 1-2 months. Periodically spill planting pits with water so that the soil shrinks.

Seedling preparation

Selected seedlings should have 3-5 healthy shoots, elastic roots with white color on the cut. The place of vaccination at the root neck should be smooth, well fused, without signs of eating insects.

Roots in cut seedlings (renew) with a sharp knife or secateurs 5-7 cm, remove damaged and diseased roots.
Soak planting material in water a day before disembarking at a permanent place. To do this, use solutions of drugs such as: "Potassium humate", "Kornevin", "Epin." Mix all stimulants according to the instructions.

To protect the root system from infections and pests prepare a creamy clay solution (clay mash). Soak plant roots in it two hours before planting.
On the seedling, select 3-5 strong shoots, shorten them, leaving 2-4 healthy buds. Cut dry, thin and damaged branches with a sharp secateurs, remove leaves.

Proper planting of roses in the autumn

The methods of planting roses in autumn and spring are almost the same. The main thing is that the soil is of moderate humidity.

On the eve of planting, spill each prepared hole with an aqueous Kornevin solution or pink potassium permanganate.

In the center of the pit, pour a hill of fertile land. Spread the roots of the seedling and set on top of the earthen mound.

Count the depth of planting of the seedling so that the place of grafting the rose is buried by 5-7 cm (so that the grafting does not freeze in winter).
Seal the earth around the planted bush, water and let it soak in water.

Sprinkle the hole with the remaining soil and mulch if possible. If the autumn sun is still shining brightly, shade the plant with a cloth or other materials at hand.

With the onset of cold weather, hush bushes to a height of 30-40 cm with a mixture of garden soil, peat and humus.
New roses planting shelter for the winter. Set over the bushes of the arc and lay on top a layer of spunbond with a film or a piece of roofing material. Can be used to shelter the branches of fruit and coniferous trees.

In the first year after planting, young bushes need not be fed. You brought all the necessary food during the autumn landing. Opening roses in spring further care and watering with adult bushes.
