How to plant Chinese roses

1. Purchase and selection of seedlings

When purchasing rose seedlings, you must be careful to select them and make sure to choose roses with good root systems and lush branches and leaves.

2. Choose a flower pot

You should choose a suitable flowerpot based on the size of the area where you want to plant roses. It should not be too big or too small, but one that suits you.

3. Planting

Planting roses requires suitable soil. You can place expanded clay at the bottom of the flowerpot, spray the soil with moisture, trim off the yellow leaves of the seedlings, then plant them in the soil and spray some water to maintain them.

Rose planting management precautions

1. Watering: After watering three times, you can water in time according to the weather conditions. In the case of high temperature and drought, water more, and water again on cloudy days. In addition, in hot and dry weather, spraying should be carried out in early spring and late spring, which can effectively replenish water for the plants and increase the air humidity under microclimate conditions, which is conducive to the rooting of plants. Pay attention to timely drainage on rainy days and don't let it be flooded.

2. Shading : In summer, the temperature is high and the light is strong. Shading can effectively reduce the transpiration of plants and protect them from direct sunlight. Shading can continue until the end of August.

3. Pests and diseases : Summer is a season of frequent pests and diseases. The root system of transplanted seedlings is often damaged, resulting in slow growth and greater susceptibility to pests and diseases. The main diseases are black spot and powdery mildew. Roses can be sprayed with 800 times carbendazim wettable powder 15 days after transplanting, which has a good control effect. Stop spraying in mid-September.

4. Pruning: After transplanting, pruning mainly involves removing the buds at the top of the new branches. Generally, no short pruning or thinning is done. Although the rose is semi-dormant from July to August, buds will gradually form after mid-August. At this time, the flower buds should be removed, because the rose is in the seedling stage at this time, and flowering will consume a lot of nutrients, which is not good for the growth of the plant.

5. Fertilization: Except for the base fertilizer, no other fertilizer can be added. You can apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizers once during the budding period, but the amount should not be too much. Water once before winter, and apply decomposed sesame residue as base fertilizer again.
