Description of the plant
The room rose belongs to the same family as its garden sister, the rosaceae. In height, it reaches a maximum of half a meter. Among indoor varieties there are creeping, intended for growing in hanging pots, and bushy. The latter are the most common.

Indoor roses are propagated by cuttings.
Contents
Indoor rose is a capricious plant. It will not grow and bloom in low light. It must be placed on the south window, balcony. In the hot season, the plant must be wiped or sprayed with a spray gun twice a day, otherwise the rose dries out from a lack of moisture, spider mites can settle on it.
When placing the plant on the windowsill in the summer, you should take care of shading from direct sunlight. Passing through glass, they can cause leaf burns. It is considered optimal to place a rose on summer days away from the window. In this way, the plant will receive enough light, and its leaves will not burn.
In addition to moderate lighting, the plant must be provided with fresh air. The indoor beauty is not afraid of open windows, but does not like drafts.
In winter, when the heating is on, the flower needs to provide a high level of humidity, otherwise the rose dries up. The optimum temperature for keeping in winter is 24degrees. Some types of plants at this time go to rest. They are placed in a room where the temperature does not rise above 15 degrees, but also does not fall below 10. At the stage of deep sleep, it is recommended to store the plant in the basement with indicators of + 5-7 0 С.
Soil
Rose soil should be nutritious. You can make it yourself or purchase a ready-made substrate for indoor species.
When self-made, take humus and turf in equal parts, add sand, mineral fertilizer.
Care after buying a rose in a pot requires the right choice of capacity for planting. It should be light so that the root system does not overheat in the summer.
If you provide an indoor flower with all the necessary conditions, the rose will bloom for a long time and profusely.
Growing problems
Often indoor rose dries up, sheds leaves, buds. This process can be natural or speak of various diseases.
When a rose leaves turn yellow, the plant begins to lose its aesthetic appearance, looks sick. Then more intensive leaf fall begins. In some cases, the twigs remain completely bare.
Causes of falling leaves can be:
- Producer. Often, several branches of plants are planted in one pot so that the bush becomes lush by the time of sale. Because of this, roses begin to experience a shortage of free space, the soil dries out faster, and nutrients run out.
- Abrupt changeconditions of detention. This is the most common cause of wilting. After the purchase, the rose needs to get used to the new conditions of detention, but this is not always possible for her. In order for the plant to adapt faster, it is necessary to provide it with an influx of fresh air, bright lighting.
- Dry soil. Roses are among those plants that need regular and abundant watering.
- Incorrectly selected capacity. After the rose has faded, it should be transplanted into a larger pot, 2-3 cm in diameter larger than the previous one.
- Spider mite. If the rose in the pot has dried up, then this may indicate the appearance of a parasite on the bush. It is easy to identify by the cobwebs that braid the trunks and fallen leaves.
- Lack of food. During flowering, the plant consumes a lot of nutrients and minerals. With a lack of certain substances, the rose may shed its leaves. Usually this reaction occurs due to a lack of magnesium. When the leaves turn yellow and growth stops, it is necessary to feed the plant with nitrogen.
- Leaf fall, drying out can be caused by root rot.
If the leaves have fallen, then you should not panic right away, because this may be a natural process by which the bush gets rid of old foliage.
The buds are falling
Rose buds often fall off. This may be due to the following reasons:
- Draft. If, during the ventilation of the room, cold air enters the plant, this will lead to the buds falling off.
- Cold irrigation water. With the adventindoor flower, you should learn how to water a rose and how to care for it. If these rules are not followed, she will not only drop buds, but may also die. To prevent this from happening, the plant is watered with settled water at room temperature. Do not carry out cold humidification.
- Wrong transplant. An indoor rose is moved to another flowerpot during the period when there are no buds on it. If this is done at another time, then even if the roots are slightly damaged, she will reset them.
- Low humidity. In the presence of such an atmosphere, spraying is carried out. During the procedure, make sure that drops of water do not fall on the buds, otherwise they will fall off.
- Lack of food. When the soil is depleted, the buds wither. To prevent this from happening, the plant is watered with phosphorus-potassium, complex fertilizers. Failure to comply with the dosage also leads to falling buds.
- Lack of light. When there is a lack of light, photosynthesis slows down in a rose, which leads to the fall of flowers.
- Pests.
What to do
To save the plant, it is necessary to reconsider the conditions of detention, care for it. You should start by changing the light mode. If a rose has been moved from a dark room to a more open place, then due to stress, it begins to shed its foliage. To avoid this, the rose is gradually accustomed to sunlight. If it is planned to move the pot to a darker place, then additional lighting will be organized on it.
Be sure to look at the irrigation regime. It should be carried out asnecessary, but it is impossible to allow complete drying of the soil. With stagnant water, the plant is affected by root rot. And how to reanimate roses in a pot if their roots are affected? To do this, the bushes are pulled out of the containers, the power system is washed. All dry, rotten roots are removed. The places of cuts must be treated with Kornevin, sprinkled with activated charcoal.
During feeding, you must carefully read the instructions. An excess of nitrogen, phosphorus fertilizers leads to burns, causes leaf fall.
with each watering, the rose should be inspected for pests and diseases. These include chlorosis, spider mites.
Kidney drop
Sometimes a plant sheds buds. This happens for the same reasons as leaf fall. Proper care helps to avoid this problem.
When forming weak buds, you should immediately transplant the rose into a larger pot. Cramped capacity is the main reason for their withering.
Diseases and pests
Indoor roses are most often affected by pests. Aphids may appear on the tops of the stems. To get rid of it, it is recommended to treat the plant with special preparations, which are many on sale, for example, Intavir.
Some flower growers carry out the prevention of indoor flowers with soap or garlic solutions. However, they do not always give the desired result.
Indoor roses are often infested with spider mites. This pest is able to destroy a large bush in a matter of days. To cope with the tick, the bush should be treated with special preparations, for example, Fitoverm, and also monitor the level of humidity. The affected plant is placed in quarantine, where it will be until full recovery.
When moist air stagnates, the rose is affected by fungal diseases: powdery mildew, rust, rot. "Fundazol", "Topaz" and other fungicides help to avoid infection of plants. It is also worth avoiding dense plantings, wetting the leaves with water during watering. Helps to cope with the stagnation of moist air airing the room.
Home roses and other plants are processed outdoors. If this is not possible, then it is carried out in a well-ventilated room. After processing, the plant is given time to “ventilate” and only after that it is brought back into the room, put the pot in place.
