- cuttings;
- layering;
- dividing the bush.
Reproduction by grafting or by seed is also found.
Site preparation and planting material
The success of planting and subsequent engraftment of a bush in a new place is largely determined by the quality of preparation of the site and the material itself.
Dig up the soil on the site. Weeds and large roots are selected from it. A planting pit is prepared for the plant. On heavy soils, a drainage layer is laid in the pit. The soil from the pit is mixed with sand, humus, ash and complex fertilizers.
Location selection
Roses Ferdinand prefer spacious, well-lit areas. The territory is chosen with loose, nutritious soil. The environment is preferred alkaline, the best indicator of 5.5 pH.
How to prepare the soil and flower for planting
A bush for planting also needs to be prepared. Old and diseased shoots are cut out. Young shorten by a third of the length. The root system is examined, damaged and diseased roots are removed. For quick engraftment, the roots are soaked in a root growth stimulator from 2 to 5 hours.
Landing procedure step by step
The correct planting of roses in the ground is to follow the sequence of actions:
- Pit preparation. The depth of the pit is at least 50 cm. The width depends on the size of the roots.
- Soil preparation. Soil taken out of the pit is mixed with peat, sand, ash and complex fertilizers.
- Soaking the roots. Before planting, fathoms are kept in the root growth stimulator for 2 to 5 hours.
- Deepening. The root neck is buried by 5 centimeters.
- Care after landing. After planting, the plant is watered abundantly. Fill the settled soil so that the root neck is not exposed.

Plant care

- Top dressing. The first top dressing is carried out after the snow melts, make compost, humus, which are dug with soil. Then they feed it with mullein infusion in the leaf formation phase. Then make complex fertilizers every 20 days.
- Loosening. To increase soil aeration, the soil under the bushes is loosened once every two weeks. During loosening weeds are removed.
- Pruning. Park rose Ferdinand Picard is demanding on pruning. The plant is pruned both in spring and autumn. In the spring, it is recommended to remove diseased and damaged shoots, branches directed deep into the bush. Young shoots are cut to 1/3 of the length.
- Preparing for the winter. Ferdinand - frost-resistant roses.

- defeat by diseases and pests.
Flower propagation
Park roses are propagated both in spring after the flowering period, and in spring, before the onset of vegetation. Specialists distinguish three main methods of reproduction:

Note! Propagation by seeds is used only in rare cases when there is no way to plant a bush by another method. This is due to the high complexity of the method and the long wait for the result.
Collection of cuttings produced in late summer. Choose healthy shoots with 3-4 buds. The slice is produced at an angle of 45 degrees. Leaf plates from cuttings are removed. Cuttings are immediately planted in the prepared soil, deepening them by 10 cm. The seedlings are covered with a film. High efficiency was shown by planting in greenhouses.
For dilution with layering, grooves with a depth of 15-20 cm are prepared in advance. A nutrient substrate is poured onto the bottom. A young healthy shoot is laid in the furrows, so that the tip comes out of the ground vertically. The trench is covered with soil and watered abundantly. Within a month, layering forms the root system. It is recommended to separate the shoots and plant them in a new place after winter, in the spring.
For the reproduction and rejuvenation of old bushes, the division method is used. It also allows you to transfer culture to a new place and preserve parental traits. Work is carried out in the spring before the growing season.
