How to plant roses outdoors in summer

Unpretentiousness, extraordinary aroma, variety of forms, originality of flowers and long flowering period favorably distinguish roses from other cultures. Some growers are engaged in self-cultivation of roses by purchasing ready-made shrubs and planting them on the site. At the same time, not everyone manages to do this in a satisfactory manner, which leads to the death of plants. Below is a detailed description of how to properly plant roses in open ground in summer.

How to plant roses outdoors in summer

One of the main factors in the successful cultivation of roses in the open field is the quality of the planting. The planting of the selected rose bush can be carried out during the spring, summer and autumn periods. At the same time, you need to know about the nuances of the correct planting of plants in each of the seasons.

Planting a rose in open ground in the summer is a risky business

Spring and autumn are considered the best periods for planting, and sometimes it becomes necessary to carry out the procedure in the summer, although most experts believe that this time of the year is not entirely suitable for these plants. However, it is still possible to organize a successful landing in the summer. To do this, you will need to carefully approach the choice of seedlings.

When to do it and is it possible in the summer

As already mentioned, it is best to plant roses in spring or autumn. In the autumn, you can plant a flower throughout the season, the only condition is to do this before the first frost. As for the spring, the conditions here are already more stringent. The most suitable time for disembarkation is considered to be the period from mid-April to the end of May. This largely depends on the weather conditions in the region.

Summer is not the best time to plant roses.

Summer, unlike spring, is not a very favorable period for planting roses in open ground, so it is advisable to select seedlings in containers. Planting roses in summer in June requires especially careful control of the moisture content of the soil from the grower. If a rose planted in summer is not well-watered, then it most likely will not take root. However, the flower does not like overflows, as this will lead to decay of the roots.

Recommended landing dates

Can roses be planted in June? Yes, it is during this period of summer that it is recommended to grow a flower, since at the beginning of the season the solar activity is still quite moderate. Sometimes even experienced flower growers have to deal with planting seedlings (bush or climbing) in the summer immediately after purchase. This usually happens when they get their hands on rare varieties of roses that they have long wanted to get.

Summer landing risks

The main and undeniable minus of summer planting is the impossibility of assessing the state of the plant's root system. Since roses grown in special containers have the best survival rate, they should be purchased. At the same time, there is no guarantee that the plants will not suffer as a result of root diseases. In addition, in the summer, the flower loses its strength to active growth, in contrast to the autumn or spring period.This leads to the fact that the rooting of seedlings progresses much more slowly.

Planting roses in July is considered a bad idea due to the slow rooting of the bushes.

If the decision to plant roses in the summer has already been made, then it would be better to do this in June, when the sun has not yet entered the active phase. Planting roses in July is considered a bad idea, as this procedure is unlikely to bring any success.

How to prepare for boarding

Before the direct procedure for rooting plants, they must be properly prepared for this. Preparatory activities are divided into the following stages:

1. Purchase of seedlings.
2. Choosing a landing site.
3. Soil preparation.

Purchase of a seedling

When choosing a seedling, the first thing you should pay attention to is its rhizome. It must have the following properties:

• branching and good development;
• light yellow or white in the cut;
• there are no visible defects.

In what form is it better to plant roses

With a closed root system, this will be more difficult. Suppliers often offer customers special flower grids that allow them to examine the root system without any damage to the soil. The seedlings are placed in the ground along with this insert, which naturally decomposes within two years.

If the stalk is packed in a cardboard insert, then it will be difficult for the buyer to understand the condition of the roots, of course, if their ends have not sprouted outward. It is also worth paying attention to the foliage. It should be green with no signs of any disease. Vaccination is required. Quality seedlings usually have 2 or more shoots.

Choosing a landing site

Roses are light-loving flowers, so they should be planted in a well-lit place, while taking care of protection from the midday heat. This condition is of particular importance when planting dark-flowered varieties, since they are weakly resistant to direct sunlight and are prone to fading. Young bushes should not be planted next to old roses, tall trees and in a draft.

Soil preparation

For roses, breathable loamy and fertile soil with a pH of 5.5-6.5 (neutral or moderately acidic) is best suited.

Soil preparation

If these requirements are not met, the following measures should be taken:

• add humus, peat, compost or sand (12 kg per 1 m²) to heavy clay soil;
• with increased acidity, dilute the soil with powdered lime or dolomite flour;
• sandstone is improved by the introduction of clay soil (which should contain rotted manure) and peat (10 kg per 1 m²).

How to plant a rose seedling from a container in an open ground

Step-by-step instruction:

1. First you need to prepare a landing pit. The size of the hole should be 50 × 50 × 50 cm.
2. Leave the upper fertile soil layers, and remove the lower ones. Add peat, compost or humus to the topsoil. In addition, its composition can be improved with sand and superphosphate.
3. In the hole, you need to make a depression in such a way that after the sapling is immersed, the edges of the earthen coma are located 4-5 cm below the edge of the hole.
4. Roses can be planted without removing the metal mesh or cardboard insert.It is advisable to remove those parts of the cardboard where the roots have not yet sprouted, this will accelerate the growth of the flower.
5. The space remaining in the pit must be covered with fertile soil mixture.
6. Water abundantly (8-10 liters).
7. Adjust the planting level: add soil or pull the seedling to the desired level. Mulch the soil. In case of active heat, it is recommended to shade the seedlings in the first two weeks.

Features of planting roses from a pot in open ground

Some varieties of roses are supplied in pots. Such plants will require special care before transplanting into open ground. Even mature and unpretentious representatives of this species are not ready for a sudden move from a pot to a garden.

Transplanting a rose from a pot requires special preparation.

The first thing that needs to be done is to place the flowers in a vat, a small bath or other container, where the sun will peep for 2-3 hours a day. Flowers must have access to rainwater to keep them sufficiently hydrated. After a few days, the roses are transplanted into larger pots. At the first stage, the plants should be placed in 1-liter pots, and after a month and a half in 4-liter pots. Spacious containers are placed in a vat until new leaves appear. After some time, when active growth begins, the flowers should be transferred to a sunny place. When good growth is normalized, the seedlings are transplanted into open ground.

Plant care after planting

In order for roses to bloom for a long time, they need to be given attention, periodic feeding and take care of their health.

Watering rules and humidity

You should start caring for roses immediately after planting. In the first stage, the flower needs regular watering, especially in dry and hot weather. For faster adaptation, the flower needs evenly distributed moisture. Watering should be done using a fine-mesh watering can, with the liquid seeping into the soil deep enough so that each root can receive moisture.

A good option would be to irrigate with a sprinkler that has a rotating sprinkler. Flowers should be watered in the morning in the first half of June. In the summer, excessive foliage moisture can lead to diseases - powdery mildew and black spot.

Roses need watering immediately after planting

It should be watered with soft water - rain or pond water heated by the sun. Cool water, especially in hot weather, can stress the flower. In this case, the roots will not be able to absorb liquid, which will lead to water starvation.

A couple of weeks after planting the roses, it is necessary to spud, and cover the soil near the bushes with mulch (with a layer of 2-4 cm), this will preserve moisture. To do this, you can use straw manure, peat (dark, high, well weathered), sawdust and chopped bark, cut grass, as well as special mulch paper or non-woven material. Roses should be mulched immediately after watering.

Top dressing

If the flowers placed in the wells are well filled with fertilizers, then in the first 11-12 months no additional feeding is needed. If the soil on the site is poor, then the first feeding should be done immediately after the rooting of the flower. For this, mineral or organo-mineral fertilizers (low concentration) are perfect, at the end of August it will be necessary to use phosphorus-potassium fertilizers (low concentration).

How to feed roses

It is also necessary to regularly weed new plantings, remove weeds, which take away nutrients and moisture from roses.

Features of planting roses in different regions

The climatic conditions of the region have a significant impact on the timing of planting plants in open ground, as well as on the choice of varieties. The middle lane and the Moscow region, the Moscow region are well suited for spring plantings. Saplings with an open root system should be planted in cool soil immediately after thawing. In this case, you should pay attention to the fact that the seedlings are in a dormant state.

Closed-root shrubs can only be planted after warm weather. Young plants will take root well throughout the season, the deadline for planting is September 14-16. In a special Ural climate, it is necessary to focus on temperature indicators. Usually, at the beginning of the season, roses are planted at a time when the soil warms up to 8 ° C, at the end of the season, when the daytime air temperature fluctuates between 4-7 ° C.

To successfully grow roses in your country house, you need to properly plant the plants, as well as organize proper care. If we manage to meet the deadlines and all agrotechnical recommendations, luxurious flowers will be able to decorate the garden in the near future.
