- Laying drainage from sand or expanded clay to the bottom.
- A small layer of fertile soil, pre-fertilized with minerals, is poured onto the drainage.
- The seedling is installed in the hole, its root system is carefully straightened.
- The hole is covered with soil in such a way that the root collar is recessed by 3-4 cm.
- The seedling is watered abundantly with warm water.
Plant care
How the rose bush is taken care of depends on its overall appearance and the duration of flowering.
Watering rules and humidity
The Poesie rose should be watered sparingly, but generously. One young bush should have at least a bucket of water with a volume of 10 liters, overgrown bushes need 1.5-2 times more moisture. Watering is necessarily carried out at the root, sprinkling is not suitable for this rose.
How luxuriant the flowering will be depends on the quality of care.
Top dressing and soil quality
Rosa Poesi does not like acidic soils, therefore, in spring, summer and autumn, it is fed with nitrogen. The first such top dressing is done when the temperature on the street is set within 10 ° C. For a more lush growth of buds, before and after flowering, a complex mineral dressing is carried out.
Before a dormant period, it is recommended to apply potassium-phosphorus fertilizers to the soil.
Pruning and replanting
Pruning a rose bush is carried out for more lush growth and flowering at least twice a year. Before applying the pruning shears, it is disinfected to avoid contamination of the exposed branches.
Floribunda Poetry transplant is carried out in spring or autumn. It will be the least sensitive for bushes 1-2 years old.
Features of wintering a flower
In order for the plant to successfully endure the winter, it is necessary to prune the branches, remove the remaining buds. The stem of the rose must be spud 30 cm with compost or soil. The shrub will feel especially good if the roots are covered with spruce branches. Before freezing Poetry is covered with polyethylene or foam form.
Blooming rose
Rose Poetry blooms almost the entire season, taking small breaks.
The bud of this variety consists of 30-35 petals
That is why it becomes a real decoration of sites.
A period of activity and rest
Poetry begins to bloom in spring. The buds open gradually, so the shrub is blooming for a long time. To prolong this period, each bud that dries up should be cut off. Then new shoots will soon appear in this place. They may not fade until the very frost.
Care during and after flowering
During flowering, the rose bush is not only watered, but also monitored by the soil: it is loosened and mulched. It is also necessary to remove all weeds in time so as not to provoke diseases.
After the completion of the flowering process, Poetry is fed with special mineral compounds, the basis of which is phosphorus and potassium.
What to do if the rose does not bloom
Sometimes the rose may not give color. The reason may be:
- improperly chosen landing site (drafts, too much direct sunlight);
- frequent feeding (it provokes the active growth of greenery, and there is no longer any energy left for the buds);
- too weak root system (in the year of planting Poetry will not give buds, first the bush must take root in the ground);
- the soil is not suitable for shrubs (dense, clayey soil will inhibit flowering);
- improper watering regime (watering occurs more often than once a week, the earth does not have time to dry out, the roots lack oxygen).
Flower propagation
You can get new bushes of the Poetry rose by cuttings, layering, grafting or dividing the bush.
Cuttings can be carried out from spring to autumn.But the earlier reproduction starts, the more time the rose will have to take root before the dormant period.
A young rose blooms only in the second year of planting
Cutting is carried out in the following order:
- Cuttings are cut with a length of 10-15 cm.
- The leaves are cut from the bottom, the upper ones are cut in half.
- The lower part of the cutting should be temporarily placed in a solution - a growth stimulator.
- Boxes with a loose substrate are being prepared.
- Cuttings are placed vertically in them.
- Watered abundantly, mulched. The boxes are closed on top with foil.
When the roots appear, the seedlings are transplanted into separate containers. The next year, they can be planted in open ground.
Diseases, pests and ways to control them
Like the rest of the Grandiflora and Floribunda varieties, Poetry is vulnerable to powdery mildew, root rot, and black spot. To avoid this, you must:
- remove foliage from the root circle in time;
- periodically thin out the plantings;
- use fungicides;
- use only settled warm water for irrigation;
- watering is rare, but abundant.
