How to grow roses

1. Breeding environment

(1) Soil: The main requirements are that it should be nutritious, loose, breathable, and well-drained. You can choose to mix leaf mold and garden soil.

(2) Light: The plant likes light and needs to be provided with sufficient sunlight, especially during the growth period. In summer, appropriate shading is sometimes necessary.

(3) Watering: During the growth period, the soil should be kept moist but not waterlogged. Reduce watering in fall and winter.

(4) Humidity: In summer, the humidity needs to be increased by spraying water, etc.

(5) Fertilization: The main stage required is the growth stage. Generally, applying liquid fertilizer once every half a month or so can meet the requirements. Be careful not to use too high a concentration.

2. Breeding method

(1) Cutting propagation: This is the main method. It takes place around February. Choose a strong one that is about ten to fifteen centimeters tall, preferably an old one. Cut off about one-third of the leaves and cut the bottom into an oblique cut. The best substrate is river sand, about five to seven centimeters. Insert the branches and water them thoroughly. Pay attention to shade or place the plant in a cool place.

(2) In addition to the cutting method, other commonly used methods include division and layering.

3. Disease prevention and control

Plant diseases are common, mainly caused by fungi. After cutting off the diseased leaves, you can spray Bordeaux liquid.

4. Pruning

The plant has a strong ability to sprout and grow, so it needs to be pruned in time, especially in hot and humid environments. After flowering, pruning is also necessary.
