Growing a flower, how to plant it in open ground
Growing a flower does not have any specific features, but the correct algorithm must be followed. For planting, seedlings of two types are used:
- With a closed root system. The most suitable option for beginner gardeners, but this planting material is more expensive than with an open root system. The roots are contained in a special soil that provides the plant with all the necessary elements. The culture begins to bloom in the first year after planting.
- With an open root system. The rhizome is carefully treated with a hydrogel to protect the planting material from drying out.Saplings take root long enough, bloom mainly in the second year after planting.
Appearance of healthy rose seedlings
The most suitable time for planting in open soil is spring, when the soil is already warmed up, and the probability of frost has passed. The most suitable place is partial shade. Lack of light or direct sunlight will harm the plant.
Planting algorithm:
- Dig a landing hole 60x50 cm in size, with group plantings, the interval between holes should be at least 1 meter.
- Fill up to half of the hole with a previously prepared soil mixture, make drainage at the bottom of expanded clay or crushed brick.
- Add a complex of mineral fertilizers, ash, sand, chalk, leafy earth and humus to the upper soil layer.
At the end, the seedling is lowered into the hole and buried in earth, tamping it a little. Water abundantly.
Plant care
This cultivated flowering plant needs regular watering, feeding, pruning and application, and mineral fertilizers.
You need to water the bushes no more than once a week. Use warm water, which is poured under the root, avoiding moisture on the leaves and buds.
In the first year after planting, it is not necessary to feed the plant. From the second year, it is required to introduce organic compounds in the form of rotted humus or manure, and one should also not forget about mineral dressings, especially potassium-phosphorus complexes.
In order for the bush to form the correct shape, it must be cut off. In the spring, sanitary pruning is carried out, during which damaged and dry shoots are removed. In the summer, after the first flowering, overgrown shoots are pruned. In the fall, during preparation for wintering, the final sanitary pruning is carried out. The cuts are carefully treated with garden mortar or clay. To prevent the bushes from freezing, the height of the shoots should not exceed 30 cm.

Flower propagation
All floribunda varieties are propagated in two ways - by dividing the bush and by cuttings.
To implement the second method, it is necessary to cut off the tops of lignified shoots approximately 10 cm long so that three living buds remain on the branch. Before planting for 1-2 days, you need to place the cutting in a means that stimulates root growth. Then it is planted in a pot and covered with a glass jar to create a greenhouse effect. After about 1-1.5 months, young leaves will be visible.
Diseases, pests and ways to control them
The main enemy of the plant is caterpillar and aphids. Inflorescences and leaves suffer from the invasion of pests. The result is deformed flowers that fall with the leaves, the bush slows down its development.
Defeat of the rose bush by aphids
You can protect plants from pest attacks by observing preventive measures. It is regularly required to irrigate the bushes with special antifungal compounds and insecticides. They are irrigated for the first time in early spring, then after the end of flowering.
