Top dressing and soil quality
They begin to feed the rose from the second year of life. At the beginning of the season, nitrogen is added to gain green mass, and from the moment budding begins, the bush is fertilized with phosphorus and potassium.
Pruning and replanting
When pruning, it is recommended to shorten the shoots with an amphitheater: the branches located closer to the support should be longer than the front ones. After wintering, dried and frozen parts of the bush, as well as root shoots, are removed.
