Potted roses are a wonderful gift for your beloved woman, which is suitable for any occasion. How can we make sure that these beauties do not wither the very next day, but delight their mistress for a long, long time?

An indoor rose differs from an ordinary rose in its miniature size. Its bushes reach a height of no more than 35-45 cm.

Note to the florist

An indoor rose differs from an ordinary rose in its miniature size. Its bushes reach a height of no more than 35-45 cm. Potted rose flowers are very beautiful, small, of various colors, and can be fragrant or odorless. Dutch or Danish roses in pots are often sold in Russia. As a rule, potted roses are sold already in bloom. A healthy plant has lush green leaves without painful-looking spots or damage. The leaves must be elastic, stay well on the stem and not fall off! Under no circumstances should there be black areas on the stems! When buying, you need to take a good look at the flower: approved a large number of buds, but they should not be open! Be sure to remove the gift wrapping and look closely at the leaves and stems.

Most roses are stored in refrigerators when sold. Once in a warm apartment, the plant experiences stress; for acclimatization, they should be maintained indoors at a temperature within 15-18°C.

The most optimal time The best time to buy roses is the cold season, from autumn to spring. It's best to buy this indoor plant in February and March. Potted roses prefer:

• sunny side of the house; it is necessary to choose southern or south-eastern windows;
• enriched soil;
• Free access fresh air during the hot period;
• good watering;
• fertilizing at least once a week during active growth and flowering;
• transplanting into a spacious pot from a cramped one.

They don't like flowers:

• excessive heat;
• wilted flowers on a plant;
• cold water for irrigation;
• pests and diseases;
• damage to the root system during transplantation.

Caring for a rose is not as troublesome as it seems at first glance. You just need to follow some rules. It would be good to arrange a rose immediately after purchase warm shower. This procedure will help clean the leaves from road dust, and also partially eliminate their presence. spider mite, if there is one. Just in case, at first it is better to place the “new home” on a separate windowsill. This will help protect other plants from infection by pests that might have chosen potted rose still in the store. It should be borne in mind that when selling, most roses are stored in refrigerators. Once in a warm apartment, the plant experiences enormous stress. In order for acclimatization to be gentle and gradual, at first the room temperature should be maintained within 15-18°C.

Watering flowers with regular tap water at room temperature, pre-settled for at least a day. Watering is carried out as the soil dries: not too often, but not rarely. Make sure that the water in the pot does not stagnate. Because of this root system begins to rot, which often causes the death of the plant. It would be good to spray the underside of the leaves with cold boiled water from a spray bottle from time to time. Good period for transplantation - when the moon is in its growth phase. But don't delay it! Most often, store pots are filled with peat substrate, which over time can destroy the roots. Ideal for transplantation special land for roses and chrysanthemums. Its composition is most favorable for the growth of plants that are accustomed to neutral acidity soil.

Transplantation should be carried out very carefully so as not to injure the root system!

It is better to choose a larger pot for roses. Experienced gardeners It is advised not to take containers smaller than 40 cm in diameter. A layer of drainage about 1-3 cm thick is usually poured onto the bottom of the pot, and soil is poured on top. After transplantation, the plant is not watered, placed in a dark and cool place for a day, and then placed on a well-lit windowsill. Roses are fed throughout the entire growth period (especially in spring and summer) in small doses, but quite often. It is best to choose special fertilizers that contain essential microelements. Fertilizer can also be applied by a foliar method, in which the leaves of the plant are sprayed with a weak fertilizer solution.

In winter, caring for roses consists of maintaining the necessary lighting for them. To do this, you need to create additional lighting for them using LED and fluorescent lamps. If this is not possible, then it is better to put the plant into hibernation. To do this, reduce temperature regime up to +10…+15°С. At the same time, the plant’s metabolic processes slow down, but it does not die and tolerates winter well. During sleep, fertilizer is not applied, the frequency of watering is reduced, but low soil moisture is maintained. If your “green friend” begins to slowly dry out, don’t immediately become disheartened! This often happens in the first 2-3 weeks after purchase, and this can already be considered a pattern. However, ensure special care the flower will still have to. As a rule, the wilting process begins at the ends of the branches. They need to be cut back to a healthy stem, without sparing the plant. After pruning, the rose sends out young shoots from the thorns, and soon new ones form in place of the old branches. By the way, professionals advise periodically trimming the plant several times a year. This procedure promotes vigorous flowering of bushes.

A decorative rose bush consists of several stems covered with thorns and wide leaves of a dark green hue. The buds are white, pink, bright red and burgundy. Some varieties produce black and orange inflorescences. An indoor rose growing in a pot is 1.5–2 times lower than a garden rose, and the diameter of its buds reaches 10–15 cm. The flower will develop well if you observe the temperature regime, regularly water and feed the soil.

Correct window

Rose is a light-loving plant. The bush will like it on a south-eastern or eastern windowsill. The flower receives enough light and heat even in winter period. Some varieties decorative roses I like the south windows better. It’s easy to understand whether a plant is comfortable or not:

1. The leaves have acquired a rich green tint and the buds bloomed? The flower feels comfortable. He has enough light and warmth.
2. Have the leaves and inflorescences become limp? Are the edges yellowed or have brownish spots? The rose received a burn due to the abundance of ultraviolet radiation. The plant should be immediately hidden in the shade until complete recovery, and then choose another window sill with dim lighting.

In the summer, when there is too much sun, the pot with a decorative rose is moved to a shelf or stand. You can cover the window with blinds or translucent tulle, which will soften and diffuse the sun's rays.

In late autumn and winter, the rose sunbathes under table lamp or special, intended for indoor flowers and seedlings. Lighting device turn on for 3–4 hours. Ornamental plant due to lack of sun and ultraviolet radiation, it becomes lethargic. Immunity decreases, and insects begin to attack the rose: spider mites, aphids and other pests.

The distance from the lamp to the top of the decorative bush is 30–35 cm. If you place the device closer, burns will appear, and if further, the rose will not receive the amount of light it needs for normal development.

The flower is grown in light pots. Dark flowerpots are not suitable; in summer they attract too much ultraviolet radiation. Sunlight dries out the substrate and roots of ornamental bushes, causing them to wither.

Brown, black and dark blue pots are wrapped in blank sheets paper. The white cover reflects light and prevents the soil from drying out. The roots and substrate can also be covered with A4 sheets or regularly moistened with a spray bottle.

Water and low temperatures

Roses love light, but hate heat. In the room in which there is a pot with a decorative bush, support high humidity air. Minimum 60–65%, but not higher than 80%. The tropical climate is also contraindicated. When there is excess moisture in the soil, a fungus appears, which leads to the death of the tender plant.

In summer, the decorative bush is sprayed soft water room temperature. In winter, the liquid is heated to 37–39 degrees to moisten the soil and leaves. Spraying is carried out 1–4 times a day. If the air is dry or the rose pot is near the radiator, spray water as often as possible. The number of sprays is reduced if the room is cold or the substrate is too wet, and liquid constantly accumulates in the pan.

Water is sprayed in the evening. In the morning, moisture accumulates on the leaves and petals, attracting the sun's rays, which leave burns on the delicate plant. During the day, bowls filled with water are placed next to the pots. The liquid gradually evaporates, humidifying the air that the flower breathes.

Roses do not tolerate heat and frost well. In summer, in the room where the plant stands, the temperature should range from +16 to +22. In winter, the thermometer shows +12, but not lower than +8, otherwise indoor flower gets sick and disappears.

Tip: In November or December, the decorative bush can be taken out glazed balcony. To prevent the soil and roots from freezing, place the pot in a bucket or large pan with sawdust.

Rose owners make sure that the humidity level in the room does not fall below 40–50%. Dry air is an ideal environment for spider mites to reproduce. Small insects destroy the root system. Decorative bush becomes weak, he is attacked by diseases and fungus.

During the period of active flowering, the rose is bathed, following several rules:

1. The procedure is carried out once a week.
2. The water temperature should be +36–38 degrees.
3. The pressure is low so as not to damage the stem and buds.
4. The pot is wrapped in a thick plastic bag or garbage bag to prevent water from getting onto the substrate.
5. After bathing, the rose stands in the bathroom for 3–4 hours. It is returned to the windowsill after drying.
6. Wet ornamental bushes are protected from drafts and direct sunlight.

The shower washes away the dust and insects that decide to settle on the flower. The rose receives a portion of moisture, which stimulates growth. A plant that has dropped its buds should not be bathed. The ornamental bush falls into a kind of hibernation and gains strength; it does not need water treatments.

Watering and fertilizers

In winter, indoor flowers are watered 1-2 times every 10 days. A plant that is resting and recovering after flowering needs some liquid. In the spring, when the rose awakens, the amount of watering is gradually increased.

In summer, the substrate is moistened almost daily. Water nourishes and cools the root system of the ornamental bush, protecting it from pests. Pour 500–600 ml of liquid into the pot and wait half an hour. In 30 minutes, the substrate will absorb as much moisture as the flower requires, and the excess will drain into the pan. The remainder is immediately poured out. The liquid must not stagnate, otherwise it will become a source of fungus or infection.

Tap water is left to sit for at least 3 days to allow harmful minerals to settle to the bottom. Impurities of iron and salt pollute the soil. He acquires white shade and loses nutritional properties. The rose is also watered with distilled and mineral still water. There is no need to defend it.

The soil is loosened before adding liquid. The procedure allows you to determine how wet the substrate is. If the soil is wet and sticks together, postpone watering for 2-3 days until the soil dries out. Loosening also enriches the roots of the ornamental bush with oxygen, stimulating growth.

Water is always heated to room temperature. Cold liquid, like too hot liquid, injures the roots. Ice water absorbs poorly and reduces the plant’s immunity.

Novice gardeners sometimes overwater roses. The first symptom of excess moisture is springtails. White insects the size of a flea appear only in wet soil. Pests will disappear after reducing watering.

Slippery soil that emits a sour smell is thrown away. Symptoms indicate a fungus that cannot be eradicated. The pot is disinfected, the roots of the ornamental bush are cleared of soil and washed, and then planted in new soil. This is the only way to save the rose from infection and death.

During the growing season and active flowering, the plant is fed with complex mineral fertilizers. Ideal or another preparation containing nitrogen and potassium will do. Among the organic feeds, mullein is distinguished. A ten percent solution is prepared from it.

Before fertilizing, water the soil abundantly. Water will moisturize the roots and protect them from burns. After 15–20 minutes, when the decorative bush absorbs the liquid, add a nutrient solution. In winter, when the rose is at rest, fertilizers are not used.

The tops of old flowers that are more than 3-4 years old are sprayed with liquid fertilizer once a month. Prepare a weak solution and apply it with a spray bottle to the leaves and buds.

Transfer

A young plant that is less than 4 years old is transplanted into a new pot every year. Buy a clay pot with a drainage hole. Suitable plastic variety, necessarily with a pallet. New pot should be 4–5 cm wider and 6–8 cm higher than the old container.

A flowerpot bought in a store is washed warm water. Sometimes a little antibacterial soap is added, but after the procedure the container is rinsed thoroughly. Clay pots soak for several hours in warm water.

Old flowerpots in which another flower lived are cleaned of soil residues using a soap solution. Then rinse and pour over boiling water. Hot water will destroy infection and fungus that could remain on the walls of the pot.

The flowerpot is filled with a drainage layer consisting of grated foam, broken bricks or clay shards. Small pebbles or porcelain tiles are suitable. The height of the drainage layer is approximately 4 cm.

A nutrient mixture is poured into the pot, which is prepared from 3 components:

• turf soil;
• coarse river sand;
• rotted manure.

The soil and sand are calcined or steamed. Insects and pathogens can live in soil brought from a vegetable garden or garden. Sometimes peat is added to the substrate for decorative roses.

About a liter of water is poured into an old pot with a decorative bush to soften the soil. After 20 minutes, put on thick rubber gloves and grasp the flower at the base. The flowerpot is turned over and carefully removed from the earthen clod. Sometimes the pot needs to be rotated several times around the rose so that the substrate is separated from the clay walls.

The soil from the root system is cleaned if insects or fungus have infested it. The substrate is carefully removed by hand, and then the base of the decorative bush is washed with warm water. In other cases, the flower is transferred to a new pot along with the old soil.

3–5 cm of soil is poured into the pot. The roots of a decorative bush are placed on a compacted earthen pillow. Straighten and cover with a layer of substrate. Pour 50–60 ml of water into the soil and wait for it to settle. Then add a portion of soil so that it covers the roots of the rose.

A pot with a decorative bush is put away in warm room, but hidden from direct sunlight. Do not water for 5–6 days. During this period, the transplanted plant takes root and adapts to new conditions. The rose is returned to the windowsill after a week, and after 14–21 days mineral fertilizing is applied.

Ornamental bush is replanted in early spring before the first buds appear. Sometimes the procedure is carried out in late autumn, after the last petals have fallen. But then there is no need to fertilize, because the rose “hibernates.” Fertilizers can trigger flowering, which will weaken the houseplant.

Trimming

In November or December, when the rose has finished blooming, pruning is carried out. Use sharp pruning shears to remove thin and dry branches, as well as shoots that grow not upward, but inside the bush. After each process, the blade is wiped with a cotton swab dipped in antiseptic or alcohol.

The main stems are also trimmed by about a third. The main thing is that each one has 5-6 eyes left. The wounds are sprinkled with powder from activated carbon. After treatment, the decorative bush is taken out to the balcony or other cool place. The cut stems can be used to grow new indoor plants.

A rose is not as capricious as an orchid, but it will wither without proper care. An ornamental bush will delight you with white and red buds if you water it, fertilize it and prune it in a timely manner. And also protect from drafts and direct sunlight, bathe and replant annually in a larger pot.

What could be more beautiful than a fresh blooming rose bud, yes, and not just somewhere in a flower bed or lawn, but on your windowsill? To plant a real rose garden in your apartment, perhaps you just need to know how to properly care for the whimsical plant so that it pleases you with its flowering for a longer time.

Roses in culture

The ancient Romans began to grow and breed the first roses. In the works of ancient Roman writers that have survived to this day, about ten varieties are mentioned; today their number is measured in hundreds of items.

Rose is the collective name for varieties and species of plants of the rose hips genus, which have been grown by people for a long time. Most now existing varieties Climbing and bush roses were obtained by selection, through repeated crossings and painstaking selection, while some varieties are variations of the forms of wild species.

Classification - varieties and types

The need for a garden classification system is due to the development of selection science. Familiarity with the classifier allows breeders to continue their work on developing new varieties of the “queen of flowers,” and amateur flower growers to properly care for their very capricious green pets. Without going too deeply into the abyss of breeding science, everything is now existing species can be divided into several groups and classes depending on the presence of stable garden characteristics.

The first version of the classifier was created and approved by the American Rose Society in 1976. In 2000, the classifier was published in a slightly modified and expanded form in Modern Roses. In accordance with this version, all roses can be divided into the following types: old, wild and modern garden, with subsequent gradation into certain groups depending on the color and number of petals.

Flower garden on your windowsill

Growing roses at home is a painstaking task that only experienced florist. In order for the green pet to feel great and regularly delight you with its flowering, the plant needs to create comfortable conditions for growth. First of all, you need to remember that the rose bush is heat-loving, which means that it is necessary to place flower pots in places where sunlight often shines.

The frequency of flowering depends entirely on the quantity sunlight, it is important to observe the optimal temperature regime, which varies between 15-20 C. The air should be moderately humid, which is why it is recommended to spray the stems and leaves of the flower with water several times during the day. Watering must be done daily.It is best if for these purposes you use settled water, which flower growers recommend periodically adding to the tray of the pot.

A few words need to be said about the choice of pot and soil. The container must be spacious and must have drainage holes. You also need to lay some pebbles on the bottom of the pot, and then humus or peat should be placed on top of this layer, river sand, clay and black soil.

Important: humus or peat should be at least 50%, sand – 15% and black soil – about 20%. Please note that rose bushes in alkaline soil quickly wither and often get sick.

Propagation of rose bushes Houses

Planting can be done in several ways:

• using seeds;
• grafting method;
• cuttings.

The most optimal and effective method one of the above is growing roses from cuttings. In order for the propagation procedure to be successful, you need to select a stem with a formed bud for the cutting.

Such samples are the most resistant because they contain the maximum possible amount of nutrients necessary for the development of the plant root system. Undoubtedly, there are cases when it was possible to grow a rose bush from a flower included in an ordinary store bouquet, but such precedents are very rare.

So, when choosing a cutting for planting, you need to pay attention to its length; its optimal length is about 30 cm. Next, you need to make a cut at a minimum angle of inclination, using a sharp knife to remove the bud and leaves.

After performing these manipulations, the cutting should be left for 10-15 minutes in a container of water. Next, you need to treat the sections (lower and upper) with potassium permanganate. Before planting the cutting in the soil, the preparation process of which is described in detail above, it must be kept for 24 hours in a weak solution of heteroauxin. To prepare the solution, it is recommended to follow following proportions: 1 tablet per 1 liter of settled water. Heteroauxin can be replaced with potassium permanganate.

After planting the cuttings, you need to create a greenhouse. For this purpose you can use plastic film or cropped plastic bottle. Watering and spraying should be done daily, but in such a way that the root system does not rot.

After some time, when the first leaves appear on the cuttings, the greenhouse can be removed. To strengthen the root system, flower growers recommend cutting off the buds in the first year after the growing season.

Diseases and pests

Rose bushes sometimes get sick and are susceptible to pests. There may be two reasons why your green, once healthy pet began to wither literally before your eyes: frequent watering, leading to rotting of the root system (the “black leg” effect), pests.

Very often, rose bushes become victims of spider mites. IN in this case An alarming signal for you will be the appearance of a thin cobweb entwining the stems and leaves.

This mite literally sucks all the energy out of the plant and is also the causative agent of many diseases. In order to get rid of spider mites, it is necessary to treat the plant with special medicines, 3-4 times at intervals of several days.

And one more good advice...Growing rose bushes in a city apartment is possible only if you adhere to all of the above recommendations for caring for them.

Don't forget to water your pet regularly and also feed it periodically. The frequency of feeding depends on the flowering stage. If the bush blooms, it is recommended to feed it once every two weeks.

IN Lately the queen of garden flowers is expanding her domain, and today you won’t surprise anyone blooming roses on the windowsills. Small compact bushes strewn with charming delicate roses feel quite comfortable in apartment conditions if you give them a little attention.

What is the proper care for a purchased rose in a pot? After purchasing a beauty, you need to pay attention to the following points:

• conduct a thorough inspection of the bush and evaluate it general state;
• transplant the rose into nutritious soil, changing the pot if necessary.

Preparing the rose for “home living”

When you bring a flower home from the store, you should carefully inspect it for pests so as not to put other pets at risk of infection. In addition, remove all dry leaves and faded buds. If flowering has already completed completely, it would not be amiss to immediately trim the bush, leaving up to 5 buds on each shoot.

To prevent and protect against harmful insects, treat the rose with Fitoverm and Previkur.

After inspection and treatment, the bush should be left alone for two weeks - during this time it will adapt to the home climate.

Replanting a flower

Upon completion of the adaptation period, you can begin replanting the purchased one. Most often in flower shops the plants are in temporary pots with transport soil, plus they are constantly fed with fertilizers to continue flowering. A flower brought home must be replanted in fresh nutrient soil.

You can buy a ready-made soil mixture in the store immediately when purchasing a rose, or you can make it yourself by mixing:

• in equal parts humus and turf;
• adding 0.5 parts of sand.

It is better to choose a flowerpot for a rose in the form of a cone, widened at the top. You should not take too large a dish - it is enough if there is a distance of 3 cm between the walls of the pot and the bush (in a large pot the soil will dry out for a long time and turn sour).

Carefully remove the bush, free it from the old soil, straighten the twisted roots and place it in a growth stimulator solution for 10 minutes. Plant the treated rose in a new flowerpot, filling it with fresh soil.

In order for the bush to better tolerate replanting, cover it with a cap for a week. Ventilate periodically.

Further care for the rose

After a week, you can remove the cap and care for the rose as usual, namely:

• water after the top layer of soil dries:
• feed with a mineral complex once every two weeks (the first application of fertilizers can be done no earlier than a month after transplanting the purchased flower);
• Regularly remove dry flowers, shorten shoots every spring to stimulate branching and flowering.

Video about how to care for an indoor rose after purchase

A home rose growing in a pot looks no less attractive than a garden rose. But indoor varieties require increased attention. In order for a flower from a store to grow and develop correctly at home and not get sick, it needs to create certain conditions.

What to do with the flower after purchase?

Available in stores a wide range of roses Flowers are sold in containers. Often, some time after purchase, the plant begins to wither, dry out and die, and the leaves turn yellow and fall off.

After this, it is important that the plant adapts to new conditions. To do this, it is recommended not to touch it for several days. And then they start transplanting. How to properly propagate and root a flower from cuttings in the country?

How to transplant a rose?

For transplantation you will need a fertile substrate, small stones or sand, drainage material, vermiculite, flowerpot and stimulants for adaptation.

Some experts advise rinsing the root zone, removing all soil, and then soaking it in a stimulating solution. Others argue that such a procedure is not mandatory and that it is enough to simply spray the flower and leaves with special compounds.

It is better to buy substrate and soil in the store. But if this is not possible, you can prepare the soil mixture yourself. To do this, take turf, humus soil and coarse sand in a ratio of 1:1:0.5. To protect against diseases, it is recommended to add phytosporin in powder form to the soil.

Place drainage at the bottom of the pot. On top is a layer of substrate. Place the plant and cover it with soil. To create greenhouse conditions, the flower is covered plastic bag or a jar. Under such cover the home garden rose must stay 10 days. At the same time, it is recommended to ventilate every day by removing the jar or bag for a while.

The flower needs to be treated with stimulants weekly. In the future, transplantation at home is carried out every year. As the plant increases in size, it is better to choose containers 2-3 centimeters larger in diameter than previous pots.

What conditions of detention are necessary?

Since the domestic Chinese rose is not a tropical plant, it needs moderate conditions. In summer, the room temperature should be low (from +20 to +25 degrees), and in winter it can be kept cool (+10-15 degrees). Overheating and low humidity have a detrimental effect on the Chinese rose.

Experts recommend placing hibiscus pots in an apartment on western or southeastern windows. The plant is light-loving, but it must be protected from direct rays of the sun. In summer it is better to take out a flowerpot with a large Chinese rose to the terrace or balcony. The soil should be moisture- and breathable. It is worth making drainage holes in the pot.

How to care for a rose?

To grow a beautiful home bush rose, you need to provide it with proper care. The plant loves good watering, periodic feeding and timely pruning. It is important to regularly inspect the flower for pests and diseases. You can read more about caring for roses at home.

Features of home care are given below:

1. Watering. Irrigation should be moderate. Frequency and abundance depend on the microclimate in the room. Do not allow the soil to dry out or become acidic. In autumn and winter, it is better to reduce watering.
2. Top dressing. Fertilize in the summer and spring seasons. The frequency is once every two weeks. It is better to alternate organic and mineral mixtures. Before application, nutrients must be dissolved in water. On cold and cloudy days, fertilizing is prohibited.
3. Trimming. The essence of the procedure is to remove dried and yellowed leaves, wilted and faded buds. Pruning promotes more luxuriant and earlier budding and gives the plant a well-groomed appearance. Flowers must be cut to the first leaf and bud. All weak shoots and parts are removed. In autumn, the stems are shortened to a height of 10 centimeters.

Some people try to grow indoor bush roses by analogy with garden roses. This is a big mistake. After all home rose Cordana has a number of features and different times year requires some care.

Spring flower care

With the onset of spring, new branches and leaves appear. From this moment they begin to irrigate abundantly and apply mineral fertilizers to wake her up. In the evening, it is good to spray the flower with cool water from a spray bottle. If the bush has grown greatly, it is transferred to a larger pot. When the threat of frost has passed, the container is moved to the balcony or garden. First they place it in the shade, and after two weeks - in a sunny area.

Summer rose care

During this period it is necessary to organize regular watering and spraying. Nutrient mixtures should be added periodically. All dried parts of the plant must be removed. In hot weather you need to monitor your condition. It is important to spot signs of pests and diseases early. To ensure that the flower is illuminated evenly, the pot must be rotated occasionally.

Autumn plant care

If at night the temperature drops to +15 degrees, the rose must be moved from the balcony to the room and placed on the windowsill of the south window. After flowering is completed, they begin to prepare the plant for winter. For this purpose, pruning is performed, leaving 5 buds on each shoot. There is no need to shape or cut the leaves.

Winter flower care

The essence of winter care is to rarely spray and water the rose. Irrigation is carried out only three days after the substrate in the pot is completely dry. The temperature in the room should not exceed +17 degrees. Therefore, the pot should be placed away from electrical appliances and heating equipment.

In apartments and houses with central heating, protection against overheating should be built for the flower. To do this, the plant is placed between the frames. It is better to place the flowerpot on a stand with wet gravel or pebbles.

What problems arise during cultivation?

If you do not follow the watering regime, the flower may be affected. fungal infections. Damp, cold and stagnant air is good conditions for development powdery mildew. In this case, the leaves become covered with a whitish coating, wither and fall off. To combat the disease, fungicide solutions are used, copper sulfate or colloidal sulfur. Another fungal disease is rust. It appears as reddish-brown spots on the leaves. Infected bushes begin to develop poorly. The plant should be treated iron sulfate, Bordeaux mixture, copper oxychloride.

Black spotting is common. The fact that the flower is dying and is affected by such a disease is indicated by multiple brown-black spots on the leaves. The disease usually appears when the substrate is overwatered and nutrient deficient. To rid the rose of spotting, the damaged parts are cut off and the plant is treated with copper-containing products.

Many gardeners are faced with the fact that the leaves bengal rose turn yellow, dry out and fall off. What to do? The reasons for this condition may be:

• Diseases.
• Pests.
• Potassium and iron deficiency.
• Excess fertilizer.
• Natural aging of a plant.
• Drafts.
• Bright lighting.
• Low humidity levels.
• Incorrect watering.

If you carry out preventive measures in a timely manner and properly care for your Bourbon rose, no problems will arise.

Thus, a homemade rose in a pot is an apartment decoration. The plant is easy to maintain. But in order for a flower to grow well, it needs to be properly cared for. It is important to constantly inspect for diseases and pests and, if necessary, take treatment and protection measures.
