2. The optimal age of the seedling for subsequent planting is up to 3 years.
3. In specimens with a bare rhizome, several trunks should be lignified.
4. Unvaccinated seedlings are more demanding in care, while the rose after vaccination shows greater resistance to adaptation in a new place and in future life.

Planting seedlings in the open ground

When a seedling is purchased, it should be planted in a permanent place in open soil. The following guidelines should be followed in this process.

The timing

Planting a rose is recommended in the first half of May. At this time, the soil is already warm enough and the plant will feel comfortable in it.

Seat selection

When choosing a place, special attention should be paid to the soil. Loose loam is well suited for this rose. The landing area should be flat, but a slight tilt is allowed. It is necessary to protect the bush from the draft. Lighting should be bright and intense. This factor is very important for subsequent active growth and flowering of the bush.

Scheme and Depth

Before planting, you need to dig holes with a diameter of about 40 cm. Each seedling should be at a distance of 30 to 50 cm from each other. Bushes need to be planted so that the site of the plant inoculation is at a depth of 6 cm.

Important! Before planting, the seedling must be soaked in clean water, and the rhizome in an aqueous solution of manure and clay.

After planting around the seedling, it is necessary to form an earthen hill.

Care Tips

The rose bush must be properly looked after. Only in the case of competent care can we expect the characteristic for this variety long and plentiful flowering.

Watering

The soil must be moistened by irrigation. The frequency of watering depends on the degree of soil drying. Too frequent procedures can lead to stagnation of water, which will adversely affect the rhizome. In the summer heat, water the bush every 7 days. In spring and autumn, the plant needs more moderate watering, so in these seasons it can be moistened every 14 days.

Fertilizer application

It is recommended to feed a rose of sweetness 4 times during the growing season. Each time you need to use different means:

1. In March or early April, nitric urea is added.
2. After 21 days, you can feed the plant with a potassium phosphate-based product.
3. In May, organic matter is introduced into the soil in the form of manure diluted in water.
4. After a month, fertilizer with manure must be repeated.

Loosening and weed control

Loosen the soil as necessary. It is important to prevent the formation of a dense earthen coma around the bush. Weeding is also important.

Pruning

In order to form a bush, shoots can be cut several times during the year. The main pruning should happen before the arrival of November. The stems must be shortened to a length of 0.3 m from the base.

Wintering

The pruning described above is partly included in the list of activities for preparing roses for wintering. Immediately after shortening the shoots, the bushes are covered with coniferous branches. The base is sprinkled with sawdust or peat.

Possible growing difficulties

This variety is resistant to a large number of diseases. Due to improper care, excessive soil moisture and excessive feeding, various fungal diseases can develop:

• powdery mildew;
• rust;
• sooty fungus;
• gray rot.

For the treatment of fungal diseases of roses, it is preferable to use fungicidal agents, for example, “Topaz” or “Fundazole”.

Pest attack is also possible, among which are:

• leaflet;
• caterpillars
• spider mite;
• nematode.

To rid the plant of pernicious insects, it is necessary to treat the bush with a soapy solution and spray it with an insecticide (Inta-Vir or Aktara).

Important! Treatments with any chemicals should be carried out using safety measures to protect the skin and mucous membranes (rubber gloves, respirator).
