Flower growing
Landing is carried out in an open area, abundantly bathed in sunlight. In the shade of lush flowering will not succeed.
Landing
Landing is carried out in mid-April, when the earth has already warmed up enough, and the threat of frost return has passed. For planting, seedlings are used, which can be purchased in a nursery or store, as well as cuttings after propagating the culture.
Optimal place
Preferred is elevated or flat areas, rather than places of adjoining groundwater. Humidity should be moderate, an excessively humid or dry climate will adversely affect the plant. Drafts on the territory of cultivation should not be.
Important! A lowland is considered a bad place for planting - the plant will often get sick due to moisture accumulation after heavy rainfall and watering. Stagnant water will cause the formation of fungus.
Soil and flower preparation
The soil should be light, fertile and drained. With a strong soil density, it must be loosened: too clay - loosen with humus and sand, loose version - compacted with sawdust and compost.
The roots of seedlings are lowered 3-5 hours before planting in water, where growth stimulant is added - so the rose will take root more quickly in a new place.
Step-by-step instruction
Step-by-step algorithm:
- The roots of the seedlings are pre-trimmed - the length of the rhizomes should not exceed 30 cm. Extra shoots are removed, you can leave 3-4 pcs.
- Landing pits are located at a distance of 1.5-2 m from each other. They should be located near the support or wall, but not further than 30 cm. The depth of the pit is 70-90 cm, width - up to 70 cm.
- A soil mixture is laid at the bottom: turfy earth, sand, humus - 1: 2: 1. The iceberg will develop well on mineral fertilizing and wood ash.
- Saplings fall into the pits, rammed with earth.
- Complete the process with moderate watering.
A step-by-step plan for planting roses in spring
Care
Caring for a climbing rose is not difficult and does not require much attention. However, do not ignore the most elementary rules, so that the bush will always bloom magnificently.
Watering and humidity
The iceberg needs enough nutrition and watering. Watering is carried out exclusively at the root. Water should not fall on the leaves, otherwise the culture will receive sunburn on leaf plates and shoots. The amount of irrigation is regulated by the state of the upper soil layer: it is necessary to prevent its cracking and drying out. Young growth is watered more often than a mature plant. Humidity should be moderate.
Important! Watering is done with warm water on cloudy days or in the evening.
Top dressing
Feeding is carried out using organics. They bring it in, like mulch: a thin layer of fertilizer is laid out in the area of the near-stem circle. When the decomposition process begins, feeding will nourish the bush.
Mineral fertilizers for roses
Organic material for fertilizers:
- Compost,
- Humus,
- Dry peat.
In the fall, the mulch layer changes. In May, you can feed the rose with nitrogen, so the growth of green mass will be stimulated.
Additional Information! Nettle infusion (2 buckets of fresh nettle are soaked in 20 liters of water) perfectly replaces mineral complexes.
Pruning and transplanting
Pruning is done in spring or fall. If in the autumn the bush was cut, then in the spring this should not be done. Old shoots are removed, in annual crops - 2-3 buds.
Additional Information! Pruning is necessary, otherwise the shrub quickly takes on a sloppy, groomed look and grows very much.
A transplant is done in the fall if the culture begins to bloom poorly, or the rhizomes become crowded in the ground.
Wintering
Winter is fearless for the Iceberg, but it is still necessary to insulate it for wintering: the shoots easily bend to the ground and cover themselves with a spruce or a cardboard sheet. As it becomes warm, the shelter is removed and the soil is loosened a little so that oxygen enters the roots.
During and after flowering
During flowering, the crop needs moderate watering and sunlight. After flowering, the plant is prepared for wintering.
Why does not bloom
The reasons may be:
- Poor seedlings,
- Defeat by pests of a bush or disease,
- Annual plant - will bloom for the next season,
- Poor lighting or ground
- Deficiency in feeding,
- Poor winter preparations at the end of last season,
- Radical pruning was carried out.
Diseases and pests how to fight
Iceberg usually has no diseases and pests. Even powdery mildew, which often attacks other types of crops, does not appear on foliage so often.
Powdery mildew on foliage
Plaque on the leaves may appear due to strong humidity or stagnation of moisture in the soil. A sick bush is dug up and transplanted away from other plants. Be sure to treat the shrub with preparations from the fungus before a complete cure. With severe damage to the bush, it must be burned outside the site.
Breeding
Reproduction is carried out in the following ways:
- Cuttings
- The seeds
- Layering
- Vaccinated.
Cherenkovka process
When to spend
Cuttings are cut at the time of flowering or already from faded branches. Seeds are placed in small containers, and young shoots are planted in the spring. Layers are separated a year after applying an incision on the shoot. The rosehip vaccine is done in the summer.
Description
The most popular methods of reproduction, such as cuttings and grafting.
Additional Information! In freshly cut cuttings, it is worth removing the lower and half upper leaves. Then place them in the ground, cover with a glass jar and leave in a well-lit place. Water regularly, but do not clean the can. In autumn, you can plant rooted cuttings in open ground.
The vaccine is carried out after the preparation of the dog rose: it is watered well, then a T-shaped incision is made and a little bark is drawn off. A peephole of a rose is inserted into an incision and pressed down, the fitting site is tightly tied with a film. The rosehip bush is spudded so that the vaccine is below the surface of the earth. After 2-3 weeks, the film can be loosened, removed next spring.
