Planting park roses in the open ground

In order for the roses to bloom for a long time and abundantly, they need to pick up a sunny area protected from the wind with fertile breathable soil. Do not plant them in the shade under tall trees, as their flowering will not be plentiful.

Roses can grow on any soil, but still they prefer light clay soil with lots of humus. If the clay soil is too heavy, it can be improved by adding peat or rotted manure.

It is best to plant park roses in the fall - from mid-September to frost, so that the plants take root. Then in the spring they will quickly start growing with renewed vigor.

Since park roses grow greatly in breadth, it is better to plant them initially at a respectful distance from each other. It is also necessary so that the bushes can be conveniently processed and covered in the cold season.

Landing technology is quite simple. Dig a hole, add compost and bone meal mixed with earth to it. Form a knoll at the bottom and carefully set the seedling so that the roots descend. After that, fill it with earth so that the root neck is 2-3 cm below the soil level. It remains to compact the soil, water and mulch the earth. During the autumn planting, seedlings spud, preparing for frost.

Care and growing flowers

In order for roses to please the owner with flowering for many years, you should know some nuances regarding care:

  • It is useful to fertilize plants periodically with infusion of ash.
  • Watering should be plentiful, but not frequent. The main thing is that water penetrates well inside, to the roots.
  • It is not worth trimming sturdy shoots in late summer and autumn. So roses will better survive the winter.
  • Hilling to carry out before the onset of steady colds to a height of 20 cm. Cut young branches. Then the plant should be wrapped with lutrasil, and a little later covered with spruce branches.

If a winter thaw sets in and the temperature rises above -8 degrees, slightly open the shelter for ventilation. If this is not done, mold may develop. In the spring, you need to remove the shelter on time in order to prevent overheating.

Disease and Pest Prevention

Park roses sometimes suffer from powdery mildew and a sphere library. If measures are not taken, the plants may even die. For prevention, in the spring before the start of the growing season, all bushes are sprayed with a solution of iron sulfate, and during flowering with modern drugs.

In order to prevent the appearance of pests, it is necessary to feed bushes on time and properly, regularly loosen the ground, and remove weeds.

Proper care of roses and timely prophylaxis minimizes the likelihood of pests.
