How to care for mountain roses in winter

Is mountain rose afraid of cold?

Mountain rose is cold-resistant and is not afraid of freezing in winter, but the temperature when cultivating it in winter should be above 5 degrees, and the temperature difference between day and night should be around 10 degrees, which is very beneficial to its growth.

How to care for mountain roses in winter

1. Sunlight: In winter, mountain roses are still growing, so sunlight is an indispensable factor. Without sufficient sunlight, the plant will grow too tall. At this time, it needs to be placed under light for maintenance.

2. Water: Winter is the growing season for mountain roses. As long as the temperature is controlled above 5 degrees and the potting soil is slightly moist, you can observe the potting soil when watering. If the soil is slightly dry, you can water it.

3. Fertilizer: Mountain roses do not require much fertilizer. Just put slow-release fertilizer in the potting soil. You can stop fertilizing in winter, otherwise fertilizer damage is likely to occur.

4. Ventilation: Mountain roses must be ventilated in winter. You can open the windows to ventilate the plants when the weather is clear and sunny, but avoid being blown by cold wind.

5. Sunbathing : Mountain roses can grow normally in winter as long as the temperature is suitable. They can be exposed to the sun. The sunlight at this time is relatively soft and it is not easy to get sunburned. You can place it in the sun for supplementary light.

6. Maintenance in the north : The northern region has heating and the air is dry. It is recommended to place mountain roses away from heating equipment to avoid damaging the plants. If the ambient temperature is high, it is okay to water them appropriately because this is the growing season for mountain roses.

Precautions for winter cultivation of mountain roses

1. When watering mountain roses in winter, do not let water droplets splash onto the surface of the plants, otherwise the plants will easily rot. If the environment is not well ventilated, the probability of rot will increase. If water droplets are accidentally splashed onto the plants, clean them up immediately and absorb them with cotton cloth.

2. Mountain rose likes a cool, dry, sunny environment. It is drought-tolerant and semi-shady. It is afraid of waterlogging and hot and humid weather. It is in its growing period in winter. So if you want it to grow vigorously, you should give it a sunny environment in winter and avoid waterlogging.

3. Mountain roses are cold-resistant but not frost-resistant. They stop growing when the temperature drops below 5°C. The general safe wintering temperature is 10°C, and they can temporarily tolerate 0°C. Therefore, to avoid the plant from freezing to death in winter, you can provide it with an environment above 10°C.
