The best time to transplant ground-planted roses

Rose, also known as rose and rose , is a highly ornamental flower and is known as the "Queen of Flowers". The colors of roses are rich and varied, including red, pink, yellow, white and other colors, and the flower shapes are also unique. Many people like to grow this kind of flower. Let’s talk about the best time to transplant ground-planted roses.

1. The best time to transplant ground-planted roses

Ground-planted roses can be transplanted in winter and spring every year. The survival rate of transplanting during these two time periods is relatively high. Transplanting in winter causes less damage to the plants because the sap in the plants flows slowly and the water consumption is relatively small, which is conducive to survival. Transplanting is done after the rose begins to resume growth in spring, and it can quickly adapt to the new growing environment. Specifically, March to April is the best time to transplant roses. At this time, the dormant period of roses has ended, new buds begin to sprout, and the root system gradually becomes active. After transplanting, roses can quickly resume growth and have a high survival rate.

In addition, autumn is also a good time to transplant roses. The climate in autumn is relatively mild and the rainfall is moderate, which is conducive to the growth of roses. However, when transplanting in autumn, you must pay attention to keeping warm to prevent the roses from being affected by low temperatures.

2. What should we pay attention to when planting roses directly in the ground?

1. A location with plenty of sunlight and good ventilation

Generally, when planting roses, choose a location with plenty of sunlight and good ventilation, because roses are strong light plants, and the plants need sufficient light and strong air circulation to grow and bloom. Roses are not shade-tolerant, and should not be planted in a location that is too shaded and poorly ventilated. Otherwise, the roses will easily grow too tall and not bloom, and will also be susceptible to diseases and pests.

2. Pruning

Before planting roses directly in the ground, trim away excess branches and leaves, leaving 3 to 5 main branches and shortening the main branches. This will facilitate the growth of new branches after planting, while also preventing excessive branches and leaves from consuming the plant's nutrients. You can also cut off the dry roots outside the rose root ball soil, which is more conducive to the growth of new roots.

3. Keep your distance

When planting roses in the ground, pay attention to the distance between plants. Choose the distance according to the variety and size of the roses. Because roses have well-developed root systems and grow fast, maintaining a certain distance is conducive to good ventilation and light transmission between roses, and avoids too dense a distance between plants that affects growth and is prone to diseases and pests.

4. Choose the right terrain for cultivation

When planting roses directly in the ground, you need to choose a location with slightly higher terrain and deep soil. Although roses are highly adaptable and not very picky about the soil, the root system of roses is very developed, and deep and fertile soil is more conducive to its growth and flowering. When digging soil for cultivation, dig deeper, then mix it with some acidic humus soil and geological soil, first fill in some organic fertilizer as base fertilizer underneath, then fill in the soil and plant the rose directly in, water it thoroughly to allow the plant to grow slowly.

5. Watering during the seedling stage

After watering the newly planted roses thoroughly to establish their roots, do not water them too frequently when the seedlings are acclimatizing to avoid root rot. Do not fertilize either, but spray water on the branches and leaves frequently to increase humidity and keep the soil moist. It will take the roses half a month to adapt to the new environment. After a month, as long as the roses have new leaves growing, you can resume normal maintenance and management.

Note: During the rose seedling stage, 70% of the sunlight can be blocked to prevent excessive sunlight from evaporating water too quickly from the branches and leaves. A cooler environment will help the newly planted roses adapt to the environment.

After the roses are planted in the ground and survive, they cannot be watered as frequently as potted roses. Generally, they should be watered when the temperature is high or during droughts, and sprayed with water to cool down and increase air humidity during hot periods.

When planting roses directly in the ground, you need to pay attention to the location with plenty of sunlight, slightly higher ground, and good ventilation. You also need to maintain the distance between plants and the needs of the newly planted roses for water and sunlight. Paying attention to the above matters can benefit the healthy growth of roses and reduce the erosion of diseases and pests to the plants.
