How to deal with newly bought roses

1. Prepare new soil

The soil for newly purchased roses is rather casual, which is often not conducive to its growth, especially the slow recovery during the seedling stage. You can prepare some nutrient soil by mixing garden soil, leaf mold and rice husk ash in a ratio of 5:3:2. The soil should be slightly acidic, and alkaline soil should not be used.

2. Proper pruning

The roses you buy are often still in bloom, but this requires nutrients to be consumed. In order to make it recover as quickly as possible, the flowers must be cut off. At the same time, the plants should be pruned appropriately, and old and dead leaves should be removed to avoid nutrient loss.

3. Water appropriately

If the soil of the rose you bought is relatively dry, it means that it has been lacking water for a long time and needs to be watered. If you need to change the pot and soil, you also need to water it thoroughly to allow the roots to better adhere to the new soil and help it adapt to the environment.

4. Supplemental fertilizer

It is not advisable to fertilize newly purchased roses as they are not very resistant to fertilizers during the seedling growth period. But after the growth resumes, it is necessary to apply fertilizer in time. You can water it with some light fertilizer water, or use organic fertilizer, which is beneficial to its growth.
