Advantages and disadvantages of Red Dragon Rose How to grow Red Dragon Rose as a shrub

Ronza Gem Rose is the most popular rose variety in recent years. It comes in two colors: pink and red. Although Pink Dragon has a wider audience, Red Dragon is a very heat-resistant variety and is still relatively popular in some areas.

Advantages of Red Dragon Rose

1. Large plant shape: The Red Dragon Rose is relatively large, with a height of between 3-5 meters. If it is grown in a wide place, it can be made into a flower wall. Of course, flower lovers who plant it on the balcony should do a good job of pruning in time to make it grow smaller and take up less space.

2. Fragrant smell: When the Red Dragon Rose blooms, it has a strong fragrance, which smells sweet and very tempting. If there is only one flower in bloom, you can smell the fragrance if you walk a little closer. If a whole tree is in bloom, the whole yard will be filled with fragrance.

3. Very heat-resistant: Most climbing roses cannot bloom beautiful flowers in summer, and their peak flowering period is in spring and autumn. But Red Dragon is different. It is very heat-resistant, and its summer flowers are just as beautiful even in the equatorial region.

Disadvantages of Red Dragon Rose

The Red Dragon Rose cannot tolerate rain. If there is a lot of rain, the flowers will be difficult to open and will slowly rot, turn yellow, and wither. Moreover, its plant is large and grows fast, so its branches are relatively hard and not soft enough, making them difficult to shape, tie, and bend.

Red Dragon Maintenance Tips

1. Sunlight: Red Dragon needs sufficient light during its growth period, and requires high-intensity and long-term light, so that it can bloom vigorously. During the flowering period, it is best to provide the Red Dragon with a full-sun growth environment.

2. Fertilization: Red Dragon has a huge amount of flowers, and sometimes it blooms in multiple heads, and the flowering period is also very long. Without a good supply of nutrients, it will affect the later flowering. It is necessary to supplement phosphorus and potassium fertilizers during the bud formation period. Mainly use some quick-acting fertilizers, such as potassium dihydrogen phosphate, which are effective.

3. Pruning: During the growth period of Red Dragon, dense branches, blind branches, diseased and weak branches should be pruned in time to make the plant as a whole transparent, increase ventilation, reduce unnecessary consumption of nutrients, concentrate nutrients on the flower buds, and promote the opening ability of the flower buds.
