The wells are covered with mineral fertilizers
Planting procedure step by step
Planting a rose should be done as follows:
- Dig holes 50 centimeters apart. The bulk of Sympathy is located at the top, if there is a special support. Therefore, you can leave such a small gap between the bushes.
- Pour a bucket of water into each well and wait for it to absorb.
- Add complex mineral fertilizers for climbing roses there.
- Gently spreading the roots, place the seedlings in the holes.

Plant care
Caring for the Sympathy rose does not require much effort, the main thing is not to forget to carry out the necessary procedures on time.
Watering rules and humidity
Watering is best done in the morning or closer to sunset so that the petals and leaves do not get burned. The bush itself does not like excessively wet soil, it is enough to water it once a week. In drier periods, the frequency of watering is increased, and during prolonged rains, it is reduced.
When the soil is waterlogged, root rot may begin, so you need to loosen the soil yourself. To retain moisture and not increase watering, mulching is recommended.
Top dressing and soil quality
For top dressing, you need to use mineral fertilizers and organic matter. You can buy ready-made complex preparations designed for climbing roses. And as organic matter, compost, humus or rotted manure are suitable. Enough 3 dressings for the whole season, excessive dressings are also harmful.
Pruning and replanting
In the spring, they must carry out sanitary pruning: remove all dried and rotten branches. As it grows, the internal new shoots are pruned to form the bush and prevent it from thickening too much.
Transplants may not be carried out, but over time, the soil will become thinner and weaker. Therefore, after 6-8 years, the rose needs to be rejuvenated and transplanted to a new place.
Features of wintering a flower
For the winter, the shrub must be covered to protect it from the cold. The shelter should be dense, but not air-conductive, otherwise the inside of the bush inside may rot inside, which will provoke rotting.
First, rotted shoots and foliage are cut off from the bush. After it is carefully wrapped with wire and bent to the ground. Top covered with a thick layer of dry leaves and covered with dense material, which is fixed with slate or boards.
Buds during flowering
Blooming rose
The shrub has large buds that are abundantly located throughout the crown. Another plus is the long flowering, which ends only with the arrival of frost.
A period of activity and rest

Care during and after flowering

What to do if it does not bloom and possible reasons

Another reason may be a lack of watering, the frequency of which needs to be increased. Sympathy often does not bloom due to improper feeding or lack of it. For flowering, potassium-phosphorus fertilizers are needed, and nitrogen fertilizers should not be applied for a while.
Diseases are fought with the help of special chemicals, fungicides.
Flower propagation
The most convenient way to propagate climbing sympathy is by rooting cuttings. For their cutting, strong winter shoots or young summer ones are chosen.
When is it produced
The procedure can be carried out in the spring before bud set or in summer after the first wave of flowering.
