What should be paid attention to in winter protection of tree roses (Winter management precautions for tree roses)

I believe many flower lovers are familiar with tree roses. Generally, people start growing roses from rose seedlings, and then slowly transition to tree roses. Finally, they can graft them themselves, or even breed roses. This is the development process of growing roses.

Why do many flower lovers like to grow tree roses? In fact, the simplest reason is that the shape is unique and beautiful! The grafted tree roses are indeed very beautiful.

For example, the juice balcony tree moon, canary tree moon, super micro tree moon, hiding tree moon, and pink dragon tree moon that we often see are all very popular. How to manage the tree moon in winter after buying it? Many novice flower lovers are not very clear about it. Today, Lu Xi will share with you the maintenance methods.

①Trees need sunlight, ventilation and water in winter

Tree moon is actually rose, but its root system is rose or osmanthus, so its winter care method is the same as that of rose.

Growing roses requires plenty of sunlight. Although winter has arrived and the temperature has gotten colder, some places are already several degrees below zero.

However, the rose still needs to get as much light as possible, and it should be controlled before the leaves fall, which will help it store nutrients over the winter.

In addition, roses also need very good ventilation conditions. If all the leaves of the rose tree have fallen off and the temperature is very low, it is necessary to pay more attention to ventilation when moving the rose into the house. Move the rose tree out to dry in the sun when the sun is out.

Some flower lovers say that roses don’t need to be thinned out in winter. This is a wrong view. Some roses will sprout even in the snow and ice, which shows that they are not completely hibernating.

Even in hibernation, the soil in the pot should be kept moist, at least not completely dry, so water it appropriately, not too much, at least not to leave the roots completely moist. Don't fertilize roses in winter !

②Trees need pruning

Winter is here and the temperature is cold. When the leaves of the trees fall off and the trees become completely bare, they need to be pruned and shaped.

If the leaves of the rose are still fresh and tender, don't rush to prune them. Don't prune too hard, keep the overall crown of the tree, and prune away some dead, old and diseased branches.

Then shorten the entire crown by cutting off 1/3 of the total length. Also pay attention to controlling the overall shape and don't trim it too messily.

Otherwise, the tree will look ugly next year. The purpose of pruning branches is to shape them and reduce the consumption of nutrients to prepare for new buds next year. Some healing agents can be applied to the cut surface after pruning.

③ Should you move the tree indoors during the cold winter?

Whether to move the rose tree indoors depends on the local temperature. Generally, roses and wild roses can withstand temperatures of minus 10 degrees Celsius, and some roses can even withstand temperatures of minus 15 degrees Celsius.

Therefore, if the lowest temperature in your area is not lower than -15 degrees, you can consider outdoor maintenance . However, for the sake of stability, you can use a torn quilt or other insulation materials to wrap the potting soil and the trunk, and place it in a sunny, sheltered place for maintenance.

If the local temperature is particularly low, you need to move the tree into the house, but pay attention to ventilation.

In general, when winter comes, if the temperature is not lower than -10 to -15 degrees, you can basically just prune it and don't need to worry too much. Roses are still quite cold-resistant.
