Ten taboos in raising roses

Rose is a kind of flower plant that many people like to grow. It is hardy and easy to grow, and requires almost no care. As long as there is sufficient light and proper maintenance, it will bloom normally. However, in the process of growing roses, you also need to pay attention to some matters. Here are the top ten taboos in growing roses.

1. Buying seedlings that are too big will make them difficult to survive

The biggest misunderstanding when buying roses is to buy big ones. Many flower lovers think that small seedlings are difficult to grow, and they can see the flowers immediately after buying big seedlings, and they don’t have to raise them from small to large. This does not mean that large seedlings cannot be bought, but it depends on the time. The larger the seedlings, the more branches and leaves they have and the more root systems they have. After transportation, transplanting, and potting, larger seedlings will have more severe stress reactions, with more wilting and yellowing leaves, and they are very likely to die.

2. Pay attention to the medium soil

After talking about seedlings, let’s talk about the medium. The soil of roses is directly related to the growth and survival of the root system. The better the root system, the better the seedlings will grow. Therefore, soil is the most important. Don’t ever think that because roses are hardy, you can use any soil to plant them. This is the biggest misunderstanding. Other things can be adjusted and improved later, but the soil, once planted, is almost irreversible.

3. The choice of flower pots is particular

The choice of flower pots also has its own considerations. Although all flower pots can be used to grow roses, if you pay a little attention when choosing, it will reduce a lot of trouble in subsequent maintenance. It is important to mention here that glazed porcelain pots are not breathable and should never be used to grow roses. Although many flower lovers can grow roses well in glazed porcelain pots, you must first think about whether you have such good skills.

4. New seedlings should be carefully potted

After preparing the pots and soil and buying the seedlings, the most important thing is to take care of the new seedlings after they are potted. Because they have gone through transportation and transplanting, the roses will have various problems at this time, and it is also the most vulnerable time. At this time, we need more careful maintenance to ensure that the roses can smoothly pass this stage.

5. Don’t give fertilizer casually

The growth of roses is a natural process, and we provide fertilizers to roses to help them grow faster and better. This is like adding some combustion aids to the fire if the fire is not strong enough. And if you use the combustion aid purely as fuel , it will not be feasible. It is very important to develop a good habit of fertilizing regularly instead of waiting until the roses bloom. Roses should not be fertilized too much, they require a fixed time and a fixed amount.

6. Disease management is the most important

The management of rose diseases is also very important. No matter how well you take care of the roses in all aspects, all your efforts will be in vain if the roses get sick. There are many common diseases of roses. As long as you grow roses, you will encounter various diseases sooner or later, so we cannot simply avoid them. The best thing to do is to do a good job of daily prevention and timely treatment after the disease occurs.

7. Improper watering leads to many dead seedlings

Now let's talk about a key point in the rose planting process, that is, the problem of rose watering. For flower lovers who have planting experience, this may be a very simple matter, but for novices, nine out of ten seedlings die due to waterlogging. Most of the roses planted by novices die basically because of watering too much.

8. Roses like the sun and grow fast

Many flower lovers will have various worries after planting roses. They are afraid of rain and sun. They want to hold them in their hands every day, worrying that various external factors will affect them. Rose is a flowering plant, which means it is a sun-loving plant. Under normal circumstances, the more sunlight there is, the more conducive it is to the growth and flowering of roses. At the same time, if many varieties do not have sufficient light, it is easy to cause non-standard flower color. The more colorful the rose variety, the more light it needs.

9. Pinch off the flower buds to get more flowers

The purpose of raising roses is to enjoy the flowers. This is the original intention of all flower lovers. However, if you want good roses and want them to become stronger and bigger as soon as possible, with more flowers, then within one or half a year of planting, you must not let the roses bloom. If there are flower buds, pinch them off.

10. Basic pruning skills

Rose pruning may seem unimportant, and although it does not concern life, it involves the beauty of the plant shape, the strength of the plant, branching, and the number of flowers, so it is necessary for everyone to pay attention to it.
