Planting roses in the open field: step by step instructions

Gardeners prepare for planting roses in open ground in advance. For spring work, planting pits are made in the fall, in the spring it is best to take care of the fall season or 2-3 weeks before that. For the development of a bush in a pit, a 15 cm reserve is made for the root system. For example, the length of the root is 20 cm, the depth of the fossa should be 35 cm, and the width should be 35-40 cm.

There are two planting methods: classic, dry and wet. Dry is a better known option. Step-by-step instructions on how to plant roses using this technology:

1. The bottom of the hole is covered with the prepared mixture.
2. Stir the ground.
3. The rose is set at such a level that the graft is 5 cm deep.
4. Fall asleep. The ground should be loose.
5. Water, check the position of the vaccination site. A little earth is added to the settled soil.
6. A circle is made around the seedling for convenient watering in the future.

There is another option for growing a rose - in a potato tuber. A hole is cut out in the root crop, a stalk is inserted, and the tuber is placed in a container. They are kept in such a pot for about a month, then transplanted into the ground.

Seat selection

To get a lush, healthy shrub, you need not only to find a good seedling, but also to know how to plant a rose in the right place. First of all are determined with the function of flowers in garden design.They decide whether it will be a collection site or decoration of a gazebo, porch, or grow roses for sale.

The variety is also taken into account, since some species grow well in bright sun, others like shade more. After answering these questions, attention is paid to the position of the future site for the flower. What should be the place for this plant:

• sunny. The rose is considered a light-loving culture, with insufficient lighting, the root system develops poorly, false buds are formed, there will be no flowering, or its period is reduced. In the shade, the shoots lengthen, the leaves remain small. At noon, the flower is closed from the direct rays of the sun;
• open. Do not plant the plant next to large trees. They take away water and nutrients from the flower;
• located with a slope of no more than 8-10 ° to the south side of the garden. This creates the desired thermal regime. Melted waters in early spring do not stagnate here, and roses are not threatened with damping;
• the groundwater level does not exceed 1 m, otherwise the roots will be in the water. Without a sufficient amount of oxygen, they rot, the rose gets sick, the leaves turn yellow, most often all this leads to the death of the plant.

Seedlings of garden roses will be accepted only in the area where there is a lot of light and there is no stagnation of moisture

If it was not possible to place the crop on a site with the required groundwater level, the strip of the flower garden is raised 40 cm from the main soil surface. By choosing well-lit places for planting roses, gardeners seek to reduce transpiration. This process will prevent infestation by parasitic fungi.

How to prepare soil and seedlings for planting

Roses love light, loamy soil types with a high organic matter content. Plants grow poorly on dry sandy soils, do not take root in rocky areas. Ash, chicken manure, peat and compost are added to heavy soil as fertilizer, you can use a commercial mixture. The best earth option for a rose is considered to be slightly acidic.

Before work, rose seedlings are disinfected in a solution of liquid vitriol for 30 minutes: 1 tbsp. the spoon is diluted in 10 liters of water. The sections of the underground part of the plant are renewed. The dried roots are placed in cold water for 1 day.

Planting features depending on the season

When planting in the ground in spring, the plant lags behind in growth by 2-3 weeks from autumn roses. The best time for spring work is from mid-April to the end of May. At this time, the earth will warm up to 10 ° C.

Autumn flowers are considered to be more robust. Planting differences at this time of year:

• the flower has time to take root during the winter;
• in the spring, the underground and above-ground parts develop at the same time;
• a healthy bush is quickly formed;
• roses begin to bloom earlier than those planted in spring.

Planting takes place from early September to mid-October.
