If desired, the flower can be planted in early May, when the soil warms up enough. Prepare the seedlings and pits as described above and plant the plant.As soon as buds appear on it, remove the soil with which the shrub was earthed up, and pour a thick layer of peat on this place.

Care rules

In the first summer after planting, young plants are formed. The main care for a bush rose during this period is the timely pinching of the tips of the shoots. This stimulates growth, the plant becomes thicker and more branched. Be sure to remove the buds that have set. In the first year, the bush rose should take root and gain strength. Blooming will prevent this.

1. Rose maintenance includes regular watering. Start early in the morning or evening when the heat subsides.
2. Irrigate as the soil under the bushes dries up.
3. It is enough to moisten adult plants once a week, spending 10 liters of water per bush.
4. Younger roses require more moisture. They need to be watered abundantly every 2 days so that the shoots and leaves develop faster.

It is useful to spray braided mini varieties from a hose, spraying water. This removes dust from the leaves, prevents pests and makes growing easier. After watering, be sure to loosen the soil and systematically get rid of weeds. Fluff the soil carefully so as not to damage the root system.

In August, it is advisable to reduce watering so that the liquid does not stagnate in the soil. This can lead to root rot and the spread of fungal diseases on the bushes.

Top dressing

In the first year after planting, feeding is not required, but after it must be done regularly. In the middle of spring, when the buds begin to bloom, the roses are fertilized with nitrogen fertilization. Can be used urea, ammophoska or ammonium nitrate. Many summer residents buy Kemira Universal instead of these fertilizers and use them according to the instructions. In this product, the substances for the growth of roses are carefully balanced. After 2 weeks, it is advisable to repeat the nitrogen fertilization.

After tying buds, bush roses are in great need of nutrients. Therefore, plant care in June is impossible without organic and potash fertilizers... Solutions of mullein, chicken droppings or potassium sulfate stimulate flowering well. In the middle of summer, it is useful to apply complex mineral fertilizers to the soil.

In the fall, completely exclude nitrogen fertilization, because they enhance the growth of green mass. Use phosphorus-potassium fertilizers... For example, dilute 10 g of potassium sulfate, 25 g of superphosphate in 10 liters of water and pour a liter of liquid under each bush.

Before the onset of frost, caring for a rose requires sprinkling the soil under the plant with rotted manure. If this is done, then spring feeding can be started a few weeks later.

Pruning roses

According to many gardeners, pruning is the most difficult and time consuming process that a rose requires. It is necessary for the growth and flowering of the shrub, so it must be included in the care.

1. The first "haircut" of roses is done in spring. Cut off weak, dried branches and those that interfere with the formation of a bush.
2. Young shoots often begin to hatch at the base of the plant. They must be mercilessly removed so that they do not take away the strength of the flower.
3. After the buds have faded, the roses need to be trimmed well. Cut off long branches, leaving 2-3 buds on them. Do not be afraid to cut the bush too much, it will quickly release new shoots.

For bush roses, especially for weaving mini varieties, air circulation in the green mass is important. It prevents disease and improves bud development, so remove weak branches that are incapable of flowering.

Reproduction methods

The easiest way to buy a favorite rose variety is in a store, but many summer residents prefer self-cultivation. A seedling can be obtained by cuttings or layering.

To cut the stalk, at the beginning of flowering, select a sturdy, young, brown branch and cut it at a 45-degree angle just below the bud. The length of the stem should be about 8 cm.Remove the thorns and leaves from below, leaving 3 leaves on top.

1. The cuttings need to be planted in the shade, digging holes 15 cm deep.
2. Connect the soil for planting with half of the sand and sprinkle the plants.
3. Moisten the soil and build a kind of greenhouse by stretching the film over the roses.
4. To circulate air, lift it up regularly or make small holes in the plastic.
5. Provide the same care as for other roses, and soon the cuttings will grow.
6. In late autumn, wrap the seedlings with sawdust, and put oilcloth on top.
7. The next spring, the plant continues to be grown under a film, and only in the 3rd year can it be transplanted to a new place.

It is much easier to root a bush rose by layering. In early spring, make a small incision on the lower, healthy shoot. Tilt it and dig in a shallow groove next to the mother plant so that the top of the cut is on the surface. Secure with a metal clip and water regularly. Over the summer, the cuttings will take root and release shoots, but it can only be transplanted next spring.

After pruning in the fall, treat the rose bushes with Bordeaux liquid to eliminate pests and pathogens. As soon as the first frost occurs, sprinkle the plants with dry foliage or straw.

In order for spray roses to show themselves in all their splendor, most of them need support. This can be a low frame structure, a stretched mesh, or an arch. Some varieties can be used to create hedges. In a few years, the roses will grow and completely change the appearance of the summer cottage.
