How to grow roses

Rose growing conditions

Roses prefer a sunny growing environment, are tolerant to partial shade and cold, and are not very demanding on soil. However, they are suitable for growing in soil that is deep, loose, fertile, moist, and well-drained. They can also grow normally on clay.

How to grow roses

Growing roses requires deep, loose and fertile soil. Potted plants should be made of leaf mold and river sand. They should be placed in a sunny place for maintenance. If there is insufficient light, the plants will easily grow tall. Because they like moisture, they should be watered frequently during the growing season, but waterlogging should be avoided. Fertilizer should be applied thinly frequently.

Watering roses

Roses are generally watered once every 15 days in spring. The watering cycle is shorter in summer, about once every 10 days. In autumn and winter, when the temperature is low, watering is the same as in spring. When the temperature is low in winter, reduce watering to ensure that the soil in the pot is dry.

Rose Fertilization

Roses like fertilizer. Generally, they should be fertilized 1-2 times in March each year, mainly with nitrogen-containing liquid fertilizer, and 2-3 times in April and May, mainly with phosphorus and potassium fertilizers.

Rose pest control

The common insect pest of roses is the beetle, which can be killed by luring with lights, luring with willows, and killing with vibration. In serious cases, you can spray with pesticides. When the moth appears, cut off the diseased leaves immediately and spray the pesticide. When there are aphids, rinse with a small amount of water and spray a large amount of pesticide.

How to grow roses at home

1. Soil: Roses are not very demanding on soil. They grow best in deep, loose, fertile, well-drained soil. They can also grow normally on clay.

2. Light: Roses can grow luxuriantly and bloom smoothly in an environment with sufficient light. They cannot be shaded during the growth process and should be placed in an environment with sufficient sunlight, with more than 8 hours of light a day. When the light is too strong, spray water moderately to increase the humidity.

3. Watering: Roses do not require much water. When watering, follow the principle of not watering unless the soil is dry. Do not water unless the soil is dry. Do not allow water to accumulate after watering, and do not allow the soil to lack water or cause root rot.

4. Fertilization: Roses prefer a fertile cultivation environment and can tolerate a certain degree of barrenness. In March, fertilize mainly with liquid nitrogen fertilizer, 1 to 2 times, to promote the growth of branches and leaves. In April and May, fertilize 2 to 3 times, mainly with phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, to promote flowering. Apply compound fertilizer after flowering to help the plant recover.

Rose care precautions

During the growth period of roses, many branches will grow. At this time, scissors should be used to remove branches that are too long and branches that affect the overall beauty. Branches that are diseased and insect-infested should also be removed as soon as possible. After the rose flowers wither, the branches should be removed immediately to preserve nutrients.
