It is hard to imagine a backyard or summer cottage without flowers. Annual garden plants are perfectly combined with perennials, forming a single multi-colored and fragrant decorative background, the favorite of which is an unsurpassed rose, so different and unique. Plot owners are not limited to a few bushes. As a rule, roses are planted in the ground in the spring. The survival and development of the plant depends on the correctness and thoroughness of an important agricultural technique.
When to plant roses?
When determining the timing, the climatic conditions of the area in which the garden is located are taken into account. For example, in the southern regions of Russia, roses are planted for a longer period. It will run from spring to autumn. And in the northern regions, the most favorable is planting roses in open ground in the spring.
Planning the date of this important event depends on the type of seedling. Planting material grown in pots or containers is afraid of frost. Therefore, the timing of landing depends on weather conditions. Such plants can be moved to open ground only when the likelihood of short-term spring temperature drops has passed. Unstable weather conditions can kill planted plants. This period falls on the second decade of May. Roses with an open root system are planted in April.
Select site
The layout of the rose garden should be approached with special attention. The normal development of bushes that grow in one place for 10-15 years depends on its location and the qualitative composition of the soil. Planting roses in the ground in spring is carried out on a previously prepared site. It should be level and protected from the wind. When planting new rose bushes, you should not use areas of the garden in which these flower crops have already grown. The most suitable will be light and loose soils with good aerobic qualities.
It can be loam or black soil with a minimum amount of humus. A heavier or lighter soil composition is processed and additional components are added. Perfectly improves the quality of the soil peat, introduced in a ratio of 1: 3. Roses are planted in the spring in the soil prepared in the fall. The area is being dug up. At the same time, organic fertilizers must be applied.
Seedlings with open root system
Planting roses in the ground in spring makes it possible to observe the entire development cycle of the plant. Seedlings are kept in water for at least two hours before planting. A growth stimulator or a drug that promotes root formation can be added to the liquid. Planted roses in enoughvolumetric pits, the width and depth of which is forty or fifty centimeters. The bottom is filled with a fertile layer, to which well-rotted compost and mineral fertilizers are added. Seedlings must be pruned immediately before planting. The stems are shortened, leaving twenty-centimeter shoots.
Remove dead and damaged branches and roots. Place the seedling in the center of the planting hole. At the same time, the roots are straightened. The grafting site is located at the level of the soil. The pit is filled with a fertile earthen mixture and watered abundantly. After that, voids are compacted, and subsidence of the soil occurs. Pour the earth and form a watering hole. Re-moisten the seedling and mulch the soil. Planting roses in the ground in the spring provides for the shelter of young bushes with any covering material. This will protect the planted roses from the active spring sun.
Planting material with a closed root system
From May to August, you can plant seedlings grown in containers or pots. At the same time, planting roses in the spring in the ground requires more attention than plants with an open root system. First of all, within a week, pots with seedlings are taken out into the street. Planting material will be hardened and will better tolerate movement in open ground.
Shoots shorten ten or twelve centimeters just before planting. The diameter and depth of the landing pit are 40 cm each. Its bottom is sprinkled with a mound of fertile soil. On thea seedling is installed without destroying the earthen clod. The planting site is filled with soil. The seedling is placed 2 cm deeper than it was grown in a pot. Then water abundantly. After subsidence of the soil, pour the earth and slightly compact it. Water again and carry out hilling. The first week after planting roses, they are protected from the scorching sun.
How to plant cuttings?
Roses are propagated in different ways. One of them is planting roses in the spring in the ground with cuttings. The length of the handle must be at least eight centimeters. The upper cut is performed above the kidney at the level of five millimeters. The bottom of the cutting should be cut at a forty-five degree angle below the bud.
Before planting, it is treated with drugs that promote the formation of roots. Planted cuttings in partial shade. For this, a furrow is prepared, the depth of which is at least 15 cm. The bottom is filled with sand. The cuttings are placed at a distance of fifteen to thirty centimeters. In this case, the lower kidney is located at ground level. The earth is compacted and moistened. For successful rooting, it is necessary to create a greenhouse effect. To do this, planted cuttings are covered with plastic wrap.
Planting climbing roses in the spring in the ground
To create a flower arrangement, various types of garden crops are selected. With vertical gardening, climbing roses are indispensable. Fantastically beautiful compositions made up of them. Grow this species on a trellis or support. Planting climbing roses in the spring in the ground does not require the preparation of largeplots. For them, well-ventilated sunny places are selected. High platforms of southern exposure will be the most suitable. Under favorable conditions, climbing roses develop rapidly. The bushes will delight in flowering next year if roses were planted in the ground in spring.
The photo shows how lovely blooming climbing roses are. When using these colors as a decorative component of the structure, planting is carried out, stepping back 0.5 m from it. The layout of climbing roses is 50 x 50 cm. A fertile earthen mixture is poured into the bottom of the dug hole with the addition of humus. After planting, it is abundantly watered and the branches are shortened to 20 cm. When trellis growing, the pit is placed at a distance of 20 cm from it. Climbing roses are planted in the spring in the ground in such a way that the grafting site is 5 cm below the level of the flower bed. The root system of the seedling is placed obliquely to the support. When arranging a trellis near the house, the distance from the wall is at least 10 cm. This will ensure sufficient air flow, as well as more comfortable care for the plant.
Park roses
They have beauty and delicate aroma, abundant flowering, excellent winter-hardiness and unpretentiousness - these are the characteristics of an amazing group of roses, which are called park roses.

In order to properly place the roots, the pits must be at least 70 cm deep and 90 cm in diameter. Planting park roses in spring in open ground is done in April. When choosing a site, it should be taken into account that the plants of this group are photophilous. In extreme cases, they can be planted in partial shade. A plot for roses is not located near trees and is protected from drafts.
