Growing a flower
Growing a flower will not bring any problems to growers, planting will also take a little time. It is very important to determine the planting site and protect the flower from drafts, winds and excess moisture.
Planting in open ground is carried out with seedlings purchased from a store or nursery. Their choice must be carefully considered. If the root system is closed, there is nothing to fear. If a rose with an open root system is purchased, before planting it must be examined, damaged or rotten roots must be identified and cut off, and too long parts must be cut off.
Roses purchased from nurseries or shops with a closed root system are preferable to plant in open ground in spring (April-May). In Russian regions, autumn planting is also possible (until mid-October). A plant planted in the fall should take root in the soil and prepare for the first fall frost.
Seat selection
The choice of the site on which the rose bush will be planted must take into account its parameters, or rather compactness. The flower will not take up much space, so there is no point in planting it alone in a large meadow. The place will need to be open, where the sun shines in the morning and evening hours. Shading is not required, it is only possible to a minimum. It should be borne in mind that the selected place should be protected from strong gusts of wind and drafts.
How to prepare the soil and flower for planting
Before direct planting in open ground, it is necessary to prepare the soil in advance. If a spring planting is planned, then the substrate is prepared in the fall. When planting in the fall, you need to prepare the soil mixture about a month before the expected day. Drainage, organic fertilizers, ash, superphosphate are introduced into the soil. The plant should be pruned, leaving small shoots of 15 cm, the pruned roots should be treated with crushed charcoal.
Landing procedure
Step-by-step instruction:
- The pit is prepared in advance. Its dimensions should be approximately 60 x 60 cm.
- At the bottom of the pit, a 10 cm drainage layer, manure, nutrient soil, and a little sand are placed. It can be replaced with fine gravel.
- The soil is poured over the fertilizer, a small mound is formed from it, on which the plant is placed, carefully straightening the roots.
- The pit is covered with soil.
- The soil is lightly tamped and watered well, but not flooded.
