What are the cultivation methods and precautions for roses?

Rose cultivation method

Rose is a plant of the Rosaceae family and the order Rosales. Rose plants are relatively easy to propagate. Commonly used methods include grafting, cuttings, sowing, layering, and division.

Roses are highly adaptable and prefer an environment with plenty of sunlight, cool airiness and moderate rainfall. They grow poorly in shady places and often do not bloom. They are cold-resistant and drought-resistant, but afraid of waterlogging. They are not very demanding on the soil, but grow best in fertile, loose, well-drained, slightly acidic light loam.

To grow roses, you need to place them at 12-28℃ and keep them above -5℃ in winter. You need to place them in direct sunlight and keep them exposed to light for more than 4 hours a day. You need to water them in time to prevent their leaves from drying out and turning yellow. You also need to add base fertilizer to the soil and apply thin fertilizer twice a month during the growing season.

Watering method

Roses like a humid environment and need to be provided with sufficient water during the growth period, otherwise their growth will be hindered. However, there should be no accumulation of water. When watering, the principle should be followed: do not water unless the soil is dry, and water thoroughly when you do. Water frequently when the climate is dry, and control watering during the rainy season. In addition, drainage should be carried out in time during the rainy season to prevent accumulation of water.

Fertilization method

Rose is a fertilizer-loving plant and needs to be fertilized in time during the growth period, especially during the flowering period. Solid fertilizer can be applied when planting or repotting. The fertilizer used during the growth period is generally liquid fertilizer, such as cake fertilizer liquid, etc. Liquid fertilizer needs to be diluted with water before use. Fertilization is generally once every 20 days during the seedling stage and once every half a month for adult plants.

Pruning methods

After the rose blooms, cut off the compound leaves below the flowers and the withered flowers. When the buds bloom, just keep the new buds and one main bud on the main branch, and prune the rest. In winter and spring, prune diseased and insect-infested branches, weak branches, crossed branches, dead branches, and duplicate branches.

Rose cultivation precautions

Roses need to be repotted and the soil changed every year. Replace the pot with a slightly larger one and replace it with loose and fertile new soil. The root system should be pruned to enable the roses to better absorb nutrients and grow better.
