How to care for roses in autumn

Maintenance methods

Fertilization

In autumn, roses have a strong demand for fertilizer during their growth, so fertilization is a necessary measure. When the rose is about to bloom, we should use fertilizers containing phosphorus and potassium appropriately and reduce the use of nitrogen fertilizers, so as to prevent the growth of new branches. As the rose grows slowly, we need to change the soil once a year and mix in some organic fertilizer, which is more conducive to the growth of the roots. After fertilizing, water the soil thoroughly to keep it ventilated, breathable and loose.

prune

When pruning rose branches, choose diseased and dead branches that grow in the summer, and at the same time cut off the crossed and disordered branches at the bottom of the plant. In the warm summer climate, it is easy for roses to grow side branches, so we also need to prune them at this time.

Precautions

In order for roses to bloom beautiful flowers in autumn, sufficient light is essential. At this time, you must also ensure that the rose is placed in a place with light and good ventilation. Usually the rose needs to be exposed to sunlight for more than half a day, which can make it bloom better and the flowers bloom fuller. If the rose is placed in a dark environment without light, its flowering times will be reduced to only twice a year. Therefore, when living in a house with backlighting, you can choose to grow flowers that like to grow in the shade.
