When is the best time to transplant roses? How often should newly transplanted roses be watered?

1. When is the best time to transplant?

It is recommended to transplant it after the leaves fall in autumn or when the leaves just sprout in spring, the specific time is between November and December or March and April. Both time periods are acceptable, but it is recommended to do it in spring when the temperature is suitable, which can increase the survival rate of transplanting and is also more convenient for later management.

2. How to transplant

When transplanting, each clump should have two or three branches, and the roots must be transplanted together. After unearthing, the roots should be coated with mud to protect them from damage and reduce harm to the roots. The soil should be loose and breathable, and an appropriate amount of base fertilizer should be applied to ensure sufficient nutrients. Once it is ready, you can plant it in the soil. In the early stage, it should be maintained in a ventilated and semi-shaded place. Do not rush to expose it to direct sunlight to avoid burns. Usually it will take about half a month to resume growth and then be managed normally.

3. Water the plants every few days after transplanting

After transplanting into the soil, it is necessary to water it thoroughly so that its roots and soil can absorb enough water, which will help it adapt to the new environment. In the later stage, watering does not need to be too frequent. Watering can be done only when the surface soil is dry. There is no fixed time. When new sprouts grow and growth resumes, the water consumption will increase, so you can increase the frequency and amount of water.
