Rose is undoubtedly the aristocrat of our gardens. Thanks to the efforts of breeders and a variety of varieties and species, it can decorate flower beds, balconies, terraces, pergolas, arches, borders, house facades, and serve as a hedge. The subject of this article will be a weaving rose, planting and caring for which is somewhat different from breeding traditional bush varieties.
If you want to arrange roses along the facade of the building or near small trees, then the distance between them should be at least 1.5 meters. It is not recommended to plant roses on the north side of the building. The best option is pergolas and arches.
The care and planting of climbing roses is as follows: firstly, they must be located separately from other flowers, in groups. And secondly, a place for landing should be chosen well-ventilated and sunny, but at the same time shaded at the peak of the heat. This precaution will protect the plant from pest attack and will not affect the color of the buds and flowers (they will not fadeand will not fade in the hot sun). And thirdly, the land must be fertile, fertilized with humus and well-drained.
The goal of any amateur gardener is to make the care and planting of roses as simple as possible, and the result - a beautifully flowering plant - is achieved as quickly as possible, which is somewhat difficult due to our climatic conditions. Therefore, choose varieties that give buds in the second year, and flowering begins in June and continues until mid-autumn.
Before planting roses, determine the level of groundwater in your area. If they are located high, then a stone should be placed at the bottom of the pit for planting a rose: the roots will rest against this barrier during growth, which will protect them from rotting. Remember that the root system of some varieties can reach 2 m, but there are also tub plants. Therefore, when buying seedlings, pay attention to the description of their properties. So, seedlings can be:
- own-rooted and grafted;
- with open or closed root systems.
Care and planting of roses. Campaign start
In a harsh climate, bushes are planted in the spring so that tender plants do not freeze out during the winter. In areas with milder climatic conditions, roses are recommended to be planted in the fall.
If you start work in the spring, then, having chosen the necessary place for planting, dig holes with a distance of 1-3 meters between them, with a volume of 5050100 cm. When choosing a planting, consider further bending down the stems for winter shelter. Atwhen planting, the seedling should have 5 - 7 buds, the rest should be removed, the roots are also cut to 25 cm.
If you purchased a grafted seedling, then before planting it is necessary to prepare a solution of clay and mullein (10%), the mixture should have the consistency of sour cream. You dip the roots into it and only then plant it. The grafting site should be deepened 10 - 15 cm into the soil. This will prevent the grafted part from releasing its roots and crushing the entire plant with growth. As you can see, both the care and planting of roses of the mentioned species (grafted) are quite simple and easy. It all comes down to eliminating young shoots throughout the summer. The rest of the summer care for roses is timely watering. Crops planted in autumn before the onset of cold weather must be insulated, wrapped, and pruned and fertilized in the spring.
Many do not have enough time for spring and autumn work on caring for roses, but I really want this beauty to decorate the facade of the house or summer cottage! There is a way out, and its name is wrinkled rose. Planting and caring for this plant is very simple. Such a task is within the power of any, even a beginner, gardener. The mentioned rose is frost-resistant, unpretentious to the soil, does not require frequent transplantation and can grow in one place up to 25 years. And its flowers are no less beautiful than those of other varieties, besides, they have healing powers.
