Growing and care
Proper care is essential for vigorous growth and long-lasting flowering of the rose. Before planting it on your site, you need to familiarize yourself with the basic requirements for growing.
Watering and humidity
The green rose loves frequent and abundant watering. But it is necessary to ensure that an excess of moisture is not formed. To avoid this, the soil should be loosened regularly and checked for dryness. On average, it needs to be watered once a week. To keep the moisture longer, you can lay a layer of mulch around the bush.
Top dressing and soil quality
To plant a bush, you need ordinary garden soil. In addition, the plant needs systematic feeding. Fertilizers must be applied twice a month, with the first feeding performed 10 days after planting.
Pruning and replanting
Rose bushes should be trimmed only during decorative and sanitary processing. Dry, diseased and too elongated branches are subject to removal.
In case of insufficient soil nutrition or plant diseases, it must be transplanted. To do this, the bush, along with a lump of earth, is transferred to plastic wrap, the roots are examined for possible diseases. At the new landing site, a hole is made a little larger than a lump of earth. A rose bush is placed in it and carefully compacted.
Wintering a flower
Preparing a green rose for winter is an important step in growing it. For this, the bush is covered with a layer of mulch. Alternative covering material can be used instead. With the onset of warming, the shelter is removed.
Preparing for winter
Blooming rose
The blooming of the rose begins with the onset of spring, and the buds begin to bloom in early April. Flowers on the bush keep until the first frost, after which a dormant period begins. During the growing season, the plant needs to be fed and watered regularly. When the last inflorescences wither, they are pruned, and the rose enters the resting stage. At this time, the frequency of moisture and fertilization is reduced, and the bush is preparing for winter.
But sometimes situations may arise in which flowering is difficult or completely stops. This can mean the following problems:
- lack of sunlight;
- lack of mineral or organic fertilizers.
In such cases, it is necessary to transplant the plant to another location and provide it with a sufficient amount of fertilizing.
Flower propagation
Reproduction of a green rose can be done by seeds, dividing the bush and cuttings. The latter method is most common among gardeners.
To reproduce by cuttings, shrubs grown in greenhouse conditions are needed. Cuttings left over from last year must be stored under special conditions.
Harvesting of planting material is carried out in the spring. Young, strong branches are cut under the lower leaf and above the upper bud. The stalk should be 15-17 cm long and have at least 3 buds. The cut stem is planted in the ground at a slight angle and greenhouse conditions are created for it. After about 14 days, the first roots appear, after which the rooted branch is transplanted to a permanent place.
Diseases and pests
For green roses, diseases such as powdery mildew and rust are dangerous. To get rid of them, it is necessary to treat the plant with fungicides as soon as possible.
The most dangerous parasites for a flower are aphids and rose sawflies. To combat parasites, the bush is treated with insecticides, and the affected areas are removed.
