How to grow roses in winter

1. Pruning

Pruning is needed after the beginning of winter, mainly to cut off branches that grow crosswise and overlap and have diseases and insect pests. For plants that have grown for more than two years, only 3-4 main branches need to be retained, and the rest can be pruned. After pruning, do not let the wound come into contact with water. It is best to apply some fungicide.

2. Antifreeze

When growing roses in the cold winter, anti-freeze measures must be taken. Plants that are suitable for moving can be placed indoors. For large plants, if it is inconvenient to move them back and forth, you should wrap the base with straw or cotton cloth.

3. Water Control

When the weather is cold, the growth rate of the plant will slow down, so you must pay attention to water control at this time. If you water it too much, the water will not be easily discharged from the potting soil. Coupled with the low temperature, the plant will increase the chance of being frozen.

4. Lighting

During the winter, the rose should be exposed to more light. It is best to place it in a well-lit place indoors. It should receive sufficient light every day, and it is best to place it in the sun all day. If it is placed in a dark place indoors for a long time, it will not be conducive to its wintering.
