How to care for potted roses in winter

Are potted roses afraid of freezing?

The suitable growth temperature for potted roses is generally 18-25℃ during the day, and 10-15℃ at night. Potted roses are afraid of freezing in winter, so you must pay attention to keeping warm in winter.

In order to prevent potted roses from freezing to death in winter, they need to be moved indoors for maintenance before the temperature drops in winter, and care must be taken to control the indoor temperature within an appropriate range.

How to care for potted roses in winter

If you want indoor potted roses to grow more vigorously in winter, they need to be placed in a sunny place indoors and receive 4 hours of direct sunlight every day. On sunny days at noon, they can be placed outdoors in a windproof and sunny place to promote growth.

In addition, because the growth rate of potted roses becomes slow in winter, the requirements for water and fertilizer are not very high, so you can reduce watering appropriately to avoid excessive watering that causes root rot of the plants, and you also need to stop fertilizing to prevent fertilizer damage. Specifically, we need to start from the following aspects:

1. Suitable temperature : Potted roses are not cold-resistant in winter and will freeze to death if kept outdoors. It is best to move them directly indoors and ensure that the indoor temperature is not lower than 10℃, so as to maintain their normal growth.

2. Adequate light : Potted roses need sufficient light in winter to ensure their good growth, so you can place the plant in a sunny place indoors. If conditions permit, it should receive at least 4 hours of light a day.

3. Watering in moderation : Because the amount of water evaporates less during the hibernation period of potted roses and their growth stagnates, they require very little water. When caring for them, you need to control watering to keep the soil in the pot from drying out and the plants from dehydration.

4. Sunbathing : Potted roses can be exposed to the sun in winter, because potted roses like to be exposed to the sun. Only with sufficient light can the plants grow vigorously, so they need to be exposed to the sun as much as possible.

Precautions for potted rose cultivation in winter

1. If you want to keep potted roses alive in the north in winter, you need to keep them indoors in time for maintenance. Water them when the soil is dry and then water them when the soil is wet. The room temperature should be controlled above 0 degrees to survive the winter.

2. When growing potted roses in winter, please note that their cold resistance is relatively weak and they cannot be placed outdoors over the winter, otherwise they are prone to frost damage. Therefore, you must take warming measures in time and move them into a warm indoor environment for maintenance.

3. In addition, when watering potted roses, you must pay attention to the fact that the water temperature should be the same as the ambient temperature, and it needs to be done during the period when the temperature is highest at noon to avoid frostbite on the plants.
